Amazon Cognito Federated Identities

Amazon Cognito Federated Identities is a web service that delivers scoped temporary credentials to mobile devices and other untrusted environments.

It uniquely identifies a device and supplies the user with a consistent identity over the lifetime of an application.

Using Amazon Cognito Federated Identities, you can enable authentication with one or more third-party identity providers (Facebook, Google, or Login with Amazon) or an Amazon Cognito user pool, and you can also choose to support unauthenticated access from your app. Cognito delivers a unique identifier for each user and acts as an OpenID token provider trusted by AWS Security Token Service (STS) to access temporary, limited-privilege AWS credentials.

For a description of the authentication flow from the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide see Authentication Flow.

For more information see Amazon Cognito Federated Identities.

The identity pool is a store of user identity information that is specific to your AWS account. The keys for SupportedLoginProviders are as follows:

  • Facebook: graph.facebook.com

  • Google: accounts.google.com

  • Amazon: www.amazon.com

  • Twitter: api.twitter.com

  • Digits: www.digits.com

Link to this function

get_credentials_for_identity(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Returns credentials for the provided identity ID.

Any provided logins will be validated against supported login providers. If the token is for cognito-identity.amazonaws.com, it will be passed through to AWS Security Token Service with the appropriate role for the token.

This is a public API. You do not need any credentials to call this API.

Link to this function

get_id(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Generates (or retrieves) a Cognito ID.

Supplying multiple logins will create an implicit linked account.

This is a public API. You do not need any credentials to call this API.

Link to this function

get_identity_pool_roles(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Gets the roles for an identity pool.

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

Link to this function

get_open_id_token(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Gets an OpenID token, using a known Cognito ID.

This known Cognito ID is returned by GetId. You can optionally add additional logins for the identity. Supplying multiple logins creates an implicit link.

The OpenID token is valid for 10 minutes.

This is a public API. You do not need any credentials to call this API.

Link to this function

get_open_id_token_for_developer_identity(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Registers (or retrieves) a Cognito IdentityId and an OpenID Connect token for a user authenticated by your backend authentication process.

Supplying multiple logins will create an implicit linked account. You can only specify one developer provider as part of the Logins map, which is linked to the identity pool. The developer provider is the "domain" by which Cognito will refer to your users.

You can use GetOpenIdTokenForDeveloperIdentity to create a new identity and to link new logins (that is, user credentials issued by a public provider or developer provider) to an existing identity. When you want to create a new identity, the IdentityId should be null. When you want to associate a new login with an existing authenticated/unauthenticated identity, you can do so by providing the existing IdentityId. This API will create the identity in the specified IdentityPoolId.

list_tags_for_resource(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Lists the tags that are assigned to an Amazon Cognito identity pool.

A tag is a label that you can apply to identity pools to categorize and manage them in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, environment, or other criteria.

You can use this action up to 10 times per second, per account.

Link to this function

lookup_developer_identity(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Retrieves the IdentityID associated with a DeveloperUserIdentifier or the list of DeveloperUserIdentifier values associated with an IdentityId for an existing identity.

Either IdentityID or DeveloperUserIdentifier must not be null. If you supply only one of these values, the other value will be searched in the database and returned as a part of the response. If you supply both, DeveloperUserIdentifier will be matched against IdentityID. If the values are verified against the database, the response returns both values and is the same as the request. Otherwise a ResourceConflictException is thrown.

LookupDeveloperIdentity is intended for low-throughput control plane operations: for example, to enable customer service to locate an identity ID by username. If you are using it for higher-volume operations such as user authentication, your requests are likely to be throttled. GetOpenIdTokenForDeveloperIdentity is a better option for higher-volume operations for user authentication.

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

Link to this function

merge_developer_identities(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Merges two users having different IdentityIds, existing in the same identity pool, and identified by the same developer provider.

You can use this action to request that discrete users be merged and identified as a single user in the Cognito environment. Cognito associates the given source user (SourceUserIdentifier) with the IdentityId of the DestinationUserIdentifier. Only developer-authenticated users can be merged. If the users to be merged are associated with the same public provider, but as two different users, an exception will be thrown.

The number of linked logins is limited to 20. So, the number of linked logins for the source user, SourceUserIdentifier, and the destination user, DestinationUserIdentifier, together should not be larger than 20. Otherwise, an exception will be thrown.

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

set_identity_pool_roles(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Sets the roles for an identity pool.

These roles are used when making calls to GetCredentialsForIdentity action.

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

Link to this function

set_principal_tag_attribute_map(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

You can use this operation to use default (username and clientID) attribute or custom attribute mappings.

Link to this function

tag_resource(client, input, options \\ [])

View Source

Assigns a set of tags to the specified Amazon Cognito identity pool.

A tag is a label that you can use to categorize and manage identity pools in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, environment, or other criteria.

Each tag consists of a key and value, both of which you define. A key is a general category for more specific values. For example, if you have two versions of an identity pool, one for testing and another for production, you might assign an Environment tag key to both identity pools. The value of this key might be Test for one identity pool and Production for the other.

Tags are useful for cost tracking and access control. You can activate your tags so that they appear on the Billing and Cost Management console, where you can track the costs associated with your identity pools. In an IAM policy, you can constrain permissions for identity pools based on specific tags or tag values.

You can use this action up to 5 times per second, per account. An identity pool can have as many as 50 tags.

untag_resource(client, input, options \\ [])
