AddRoleToInstanceProfile (new) Link ¶

Adds the specified role to the specified instance profile. For more information about roles, go to Working with Roles. For more information about instance profiles, go to About Instance Profiles.

Request Syntax

client.add_role_to_instance_profile(
    InstanceProfileName='string',
    RoleName='string'
)
type InstanceProfileName:

string

param InstanceProfileName:

[REQUIRED]

DeleteOpenIDConnectProvider (new) Link ¶

Deletes an IAM OpenID Connect identity provider.

Deleting an OIDC provider does not update any roles that reference the provider as a principal in their trust policies. Any attempt to assume a role that references a provider that has been deleted will fail.

This action is idempotent; it does not fail or return an error if you call the action for a provider that was already deleted.

Request Syntax

client.delete_open_id_connect_provider(
    OpenIDConnectProviderArn='string'
)
type OpenIDConnectProviderArn:

string

param OpenIDConnectProviderArn:

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM OpenID Connect provider to delete. You can get a list of OpenID Connect provider ARNs by using the ListOpenIDConnectProviders action.

returns:

None

ListRolePolicies (new) Link ¶

Lists the names of the inline policies that are embedded in the specified role.

A role can also have managed policies attached to it. To list the managed policies that are attached to a role, use ListAttachedRolePolicies. For more information about policies, refer to Managed Policies and Inline Policies in the Using IAM guide.

You can paginate the results using the MaxItems and Marker parameters. If there are no inline policies embedded with the specified role, the action returns an empty list.

Request Syntax

client.list_role_policies(
    RoleName='string',
    Marker='string',
    MaxItems=123

CreateOpenIDConnectProvider (new) Link ¶

Creates an IAM entity to describe an identity provider (IdP) that supports OpenID Connect (OIDC).

The OIDC provider that you create with this operation can be used as a principal in a role's trust policy to establish a trust relationship between AWS and the OIDC provider.

When you create the IAM OIDC provider, you specify the URL of the OIDC identity provider (IdP) to trust, a list of client IDs (also known as audiences) that identify the application or applications that are allowed to authenticate using the OIDC provider, and a list of thumbprints of the server certificate(s) that the IdP uses. You get all of this information from the OIDC IdP that you want to use for access to AWS.

Request Syntax

client.create_open_id_connect_provider(
    Url='string',
    ClientIDList=[
        'string',
    ],
    ThumbprintList=[
        'string',
    ]
)
type Url:

string

param Url:

[REQUIRED]

The URL of the identity provider. The URL must begin with "https://" and should correspond to the iss claim in the provider's OpenID Connect ID tokens. Per the OIDC standard, path components are allowed but query parameters are not. Typically the URL consists of only a host name, like "https://server.example.org" or "https://example.com".

You cannot register the same provider multiple times in a single AWS account. If you try to submit a URL that has already been used for an OpenID Connect provider in the AWS account, you will get an error.

type ClientIDList:

list

param ClientIDList:

A list of client IDs (also known as audiences). When a mobile or web app registers with an OpenID Connect provider, they establish a value that identifies the application. (This is the value that's sent as the client_id parameter on OAuth requests.)

You can register multiple client IDs with the same provider. For example, you might have multiple applications that use the same OIDC provider. You cannot register more than 100 client IDs with a single IAM OIDC provider.

There is no defined format for a client ID. The CreateOpenIDConnectProviderRequest action accepts client IDs up to 255 characters long.

  • (string) --

type ThumbprintList:

list

param ThumbprintList:

[REQUIRED]

A list of server certificate thumbprints for the OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider's server certificate(s). Typically this list includes only one entry. However, IAM lets you have up to five thumbprints for an OIDC provider. This lets you maintain multiple thumbprints if the identity provider is rotating certificates.

The server certificate thumbprint is the hex-encoded SHA-1 hash value of the X.509 certificate used by the domain where the OpenID Connect provider makes its keys available. It is always a 40-character string.

You must provide at least one thumbprint when creating an IAM OIDC provider. For example, if the OIDC provider is server.example.com and the provider stores its keys at "https://keys.server.example.com/openid-connect", the thumbprint string would be the hex-encoded SHA-1 hash value of the certificate used by https://keys.server.example.com.

For more information about obtaining the OIDC provider's thumbprint, see Obtaining the Thumbprint for an OpenID Connect Provider in the Using IAM guide.

  • (string) --

    Contains a thumbprint for an identity provider's server certificate.

    The identity provider's server certificate thumbprint is the hex-encoded SHA-1 hash value of the self-signed X.509 certificate used by the domain where the OpenID Connect provider makes its keys available. It is always a 40-character string.

DeletePolicy (new) Link ¶

Deletes the specified managed policy.

Before you can delete a managed policy, you must detach the policy from all users, groups, and roles that it is attached to, and you must delete all of the policy's versions. The following steps describe the process for deleting a managed policy:

  • Detach the policy from all users, groups, and roles that the policy is attached to, using the DetachUserPolicy, DetachGroupPolicy, or DetachRolePolicy APIs. To list all the users, groups, and roles that a policy is attached to, use ListEntitiesForPolicy.

  • Delete all versions of the policy using DeletePolicyVersion. To list the policy's versions, use ListPolicyVersions. You cannot use DeletePolicyVersion to delete the version that is marked as the default version. You delete the policy's default version in the next step of the process.

  • Delete the policy (this automatically deletes the policy's default version) using this API.

For information about managed policies, refer to Managed Policies and Inline Policies in the Using IAM guide.
