create-identity-provider¶

Description¶

Adds a configuration and trust relationship between a third-party identity provider (IdP) and a user pool. Amazon Cognito accepts sign-in with third-party identity providers through managed login and OIDC relying-party libraries. For more information, see Third-party IdP sign-in .

Note

Amazon Cognito evaluates Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you must use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you must grant yourself the corresponding IAM permission in a policy.

Options¶

--user-pool-id (string)

The Id of the user pool where you want to create an IdP.

--provider-name (string)

The name that you want to assign to the IdP. You can pass the identity provider name in the identity_provider query parameter of requests to the Authorize endpoint to silently redirect to sign-in with the associated IdP.

--provider-type (string)

The type of IdP that you want to add. Amazon Cognito supports OIDC, SAML 2.0, Login With Amazon, Sign In With Apple, Google, and Facebook IdPs.

Possible values:

SAML

Facebook

Google

LoginWithAmazon

SignInWithApple

OIDC

--provider-details (map)

The scopes, URLs, and identifiers for your external identity provider. The following examples describe the provider detail keys for each IdP type. These values and their schema are subject to change. Social IdP authorize_scopes values must match the values listed here.

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--attribute-mapping (map)

A mapping of IdP attributes to standard and custom user pool attributes. Specify a user pool attribute as the key of the key-value pair, and the IdP attribute claim name as the value.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--idp-identifiers (list)

An array of IdP identifiers, for example "IdPIdentifiers": [ "MyIdP", "MyIdP2" ] . Identifiers are friendly names that you can pass in the idp_identifier query parameter of requests to the Authorize endpoint to silently redirect to sign-in with the associated IdP. Identifiers in a domain format also enable the use of email-address matching with SAML providers .

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To create a user pool SAML identity provider (IdP) with a metadata URL

The following create-identity-provider example creates a new SAML IdP with metadata from a public URL, attribute mapping, and two identifiers.

aws cognito-idp create-identity-provider \
    --user-pool-id us-west-2_EXAMPLE \
    --provider-name MySAML \
    --provider-type SAML \
    --provider-details IDPInit=true,IDPSignout=true,EncryptedResponses=true,MetadataURL=https://auth.example.com/sso/saml/metadata,RequestSigningAlgorithm=rsa-sha256 \
    --attribute-mapping email=emailaddress,phone_number=phone,custom:111=department \
    --idp-identifiers CorpSAML WestSAML

Output:

{
    "IdentityProvider": {
        "UserPoolId": "us-west-2_EXAMPLE",
        "ProviderName": "MySAML",
        "ProviderType": "SAML",
        "ProviderDetails": {
            "ActiveEncryptionCertificate": "MIICvTCCAaEXAMPLE",
            "EncryptedResponses": "true",
            "IDPInit": "true",
            "IDPSignout": "true",
            "MetadataURL": "https://auth.example.com/sso/saml/metadata",
            "RequestSigningAlgorithm": "rsa-sha256",
            "SLORedirectBindingURI": "https://auth.example.com/slo/saml",
            "SSORedirectBindingURI": "https://auth.example.com/sso/saml"
        },
        "AttributeMapping": {
            "custom:111": "department",
            "emailaddress": "email",
            "phone": "phone_number"
        },
        "IdpIdentifiers": [
            "CorpSAML",
            "WestSAML"
        ],
        "LastModifiedDate": 1726853833.977,
        "CreationDate": 1726853833.977
    }
}

Example 2: To create a user pool SAML identity provider (IdP) with a metadata file

The following create-identity-provider example creates a new SAML IdP with metadata from a file, attribute mapping, and two identifiers. File syntax can differ between operating systems in the --provider-details parameter. It's easiest to create a JSON input file for this operation.:

aws cognito-idp create-identity-provider \
    --cli-input-json file://.\SAML-identity-provider.json

Contents of SAML-identity-provider.json:

{
    "AttributeMapping": {
        "email" : "idp_email",
        "email_verified" : "idp_email_verified"
    },
    "IdpIdentifiers": [ "platform" ],
