Creates a new identity pool. 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

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

type IdentityPoolName

string

param IdentityPoolName

[REQUIRED]

A string that you provide.

type AllowUnauthenticatedIdentities

boolean

param AllowUnauthenticatedIdentities

[REQUIRED]

TRUE if the identity pool supports unauthenticated logins.

type AllowClassicFlow

boolean

param AllowClassicFlow

Enables or disables the Basic (Classic) authentication flow. For more information, see Identity Pools (Federated Identities) Authentication Flow in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide .

type SupportedLoginProviders

dict

param SupportedLoginProviders

Optional key:value pairs mapping provider names to provider app IDs.

(string) --
- (string) --

type DeveloperProviderName

string

param DeveloperProviderName

The "domain" by which Cognito will refer to your users. This name acts as a placeholder that allows your backend and the Cognito service to communicate about the developer provider. For the DeveloperProviderName , you can use letters as well as period ( . ), underscore ( _ ), and dash ( - ).

Once you have set a developer provider name, you cannot change it. Please take care in setting this parameter.

type OpenIdConnectProviderARNs

list

param OpenIdConnectProviderARNs

A list of OpendID Connect provider ARNs.

(string) --

type CognitoIdentityProviders

list

param CognitoIdentityProviders

An array of Amazon Cognito user pools and their client IDs.

(dict) --

A provider representing an Amazon Cognito user pool and its client ID.
- ProviderName (string) --
  
  The provider name for an Amazon Cognito user pool. For example, cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_123456789 .
- ClientId (string) --
  
  The client ID for the Amazon Cognito user pool.
- ServerSideTokenCheck (boolean) --
  
  TRUE if server-side token validation is enabled for the identity provider’s token.
  
  Once you set ServerSideTokenCheck to TRUE for an identity pool, that identity pool will check with the integrated user pools to make sure that the user has not been globally signed out or deleted before the identity pool provides an OIDC token or AWS credentials for the user.
  
  If the user is signed out or deleted, the identity pool will return a 400 Not Authorized error.

type SamlProviderARNs

list

param SamlProviderARNs

An array of Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the SAML provider for your identity pool.

(string) --

type IdentityPoolTags

dict

param IdentityPoolTags

Tags to assign to the 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.
