create_identity_provider#

CognitoIdentityProvider.Client.create_identity_provider(**kwargs)#

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.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_identity_provider(
    UserPoolId='string',
    ProviderName='string',
    ProviderType='SAML'|'Facebook'|'Google'|'LoginWithAmazon'|'SignInWithApple'|'OIDC',
    ProviderDetails={
        'string': 'string'
    },
    AttributeMapping={
        'string': 'string'
    },
    IdpIdentifiers=[
        'string',
    ]
)
Parameters:

  • UserPoolId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

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

  • ProviderName (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    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.

  • ProviderType (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    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.

  • ProviderDetails (dict) –

    [REQUIRED]

    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.
