Options¶

--authorizer-name (string)

The custom authorizer name.

--token (string)

The token returned by your custom authentication service.

--token-signature (string)

The signature made with the token and your custom authentication service's private key. This value must be Base-64-encoded.

--http-context (structure)

Specifies a test HTTP authorization request.

headers -> (map)

The header keys and values in an HTTP authorization request.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

queryString -> (string)

The query string keys and values in an HTTP authorization request.

Shorthand Syntax:

headers={KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string},queryString=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "headers": {"string": "string"
    ...},
  "queryString": "string"
}

--mqtt-context (structure)

Specifies a test MQTT authorization request.

username -> (string)

The value of the username key in an MQTT authorization request.

password -> (blob)

The value of the password key in an MQTT authorization request.

clientId -> (string)

The value of the clientId key in an MQTT authorization request.

Shorthand Syntax:

username=string,password=blob,clientId=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "username": "string",
  "password": blob,
  "clientId": "string"
}

--tls-context (structure)

Specifies a test TLS authorization request.

serverName -> (string)

The value of the serverName key in a TLS authorization request.

Shorthand Syntax:

serverName=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "serverName": "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)

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 .

To test your custom authorizer

The following test-invoke-authorizer example testS your custom authorizer.

aws iot test-invoke-authorizer \
    --authorizer-name IoTAuthorizer \
    --token allow \
    --token-signature "mE0GvaHqy9nER/FdgtJX5lXYEJ3b3vE7t1gEszc0TKGgLKWXTnPkb2AbKnOAZ8lGyoN5dVtWDWVmr25m7++zjbYIMk2TBvyGXhOmvKFBPkdgyA43KL6SiZy0cTqlPMcQDsP7VX2rXr7CTowCxSNKphGXdQe0/I5dQ+JO6KUaHwCmupt0/MejKtaNwiia064j6wprOAUwG5S1IYFuRd0X+wfo8pb0DubAIX1Ua705kuhRUcTx4SxUShEYKmN4IDEvLB6FsIr0B2wvB7y4iPmcajxzGl02ExvyCUNctCV9dYlRRGJj0nsGzBIXOI4sGytPfqlA7obdgmN22pkDzYvwjQ=="
