# EnableOutboundWebIdentityFederation
<a name="API_EnableOutboundWebIdentityFederation"></a>

Enables the outbound identity federation feature for your AWS account. When enabled, IAM principals in your account can use the `GetWebIdentityToken` API to obtain JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for secure authentication with external services. This operation also generates a unique issuer URL for your AWS account. 

## Response Elements
<a name="API_EnableOutboundWebIdentityFederation_ResponseElements"></a>

The following element is returned by the service.

 ** IssuerIdentifier **   
A unique issuer URL for your AWS account that hosts the OpenID Connect (OIDC) discovery endpoints at `/.well-known/openid-configuration and /.well-known/jwks.json`. The OpenID Connect (OIDC) discovery endpoints contain verification keys and metadata necessary for token verification.  
Type: String

## Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Error Types](CommonErrors.md).

 ** FeatureEnabled **   
The request failed because outbound identity federation is already enabled for your AWS account. You cannot enable the feature multiple times. To fetch the current configuration (including the unique issuer URL), use the `GetOutboundWebIdentityFederationInfo` operation.  
HTTP Status Code: 409
