Main.Cognito_Identity.create_identity_poolMethod
create_identity_pool(allow_unauthenticated_identities, identity_pool_name)
create_identity_pool(allow_unauthenticated_identities, identity_pool_name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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.

Arguments

  • allow_unauthenticated_identities: TRUE if the identity pool supports unauthenticated logins.
  • identity_pool_name: A string that you provide.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "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.
  • "CognitoIdentityProviders": An array of Amazon Cognito user pools and their client IDs.
  • "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.
  • "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.
  • "OpenIdConnectProviderARNs": The Amazon Resource Names (ARN) of the OpenID Connect providers.
  • "SamlProviderARNs": An array of Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the SAML provider for your identity pool.

Gets the roles for an identity pool. You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

Arguments

  • identity_pool_id: An identity pool ID in the format REGION:GUID.
source
Main.Cognito_Identity.get_open_id_tokenMethod
get_open_id_token(identity_id)
get_open_id_token(identity_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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.

Arguments

  • identity_id: A unique identifier in the format REGION:GUID.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "Logins": A set of optional name-value pairs that map provider names to provider tokens. When using graph.facebook.com and www.amazon.com, supply the accesstoken returned from the provider's authflow. For accounts.google.com, an Amazon Cognito user pool provider, or any other OpenID Connect provider, always include the idtoken.
source
Main.Cognito_Identity.get_open_id_token_for_developer_identityMethod
get_open_id_token_for_developer_identity(identity_pool_id, logins)
get_open_id_token_for_developer_identity(identity_pool_id, logins, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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. You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

Arguments

  • identity_pool_id: An identity pool ID in the format REGION:GUID.
  • logins: A set of optional name-value pairs that map provider names to provider tokens. Each name-value pair represents a user from a public provider or developer provider. If the user is from a developer provider, the name-value pair will follow the syntax "developerprovidername": "developeruseridentifier". The developer provider is the "domain" by which Cognito will refer to your users; you provided this domain while creating/updating the identity pool. The developer user identifier is an identifier from your backend that uniquely identifies a user. When you create an identity pool, you can specify the supported logins.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "IdentityId": A unique identifier in the format REGION:GUID.
  • "PrincipalTags": Use this operation to configure attribute mappings for custom providers.
  • "TokenDuration": The expiration time of the token, in seconds. You can specify a custom expiration time for the token so that you can cache it. If you don't provide an expiration time, the token is valid for 15 minutes. You can exchange the token with Amazon STS for temporary AWS credentials, which are valid for a maximum of one hour. The maximum token duration you can set is 24 hours. You should take care in setting the expiration time for a token, as there are significant security implications: an attacker could use a leaked token to access your AWS resources for the token's duration. Please provide for a small grace period, usually no more than 5 minutes, to account for clock skew.
source
Main.Cognito_Identity.get_principal_tag_attribute_mapMethod
get_principal_tag_attribute_map(identity_pool_id, identity_provider_name)
get_principal_tag_attribute_map(identity_pool_id, identity_provider_name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Use GetPrincipalTagAttributeMap to list all mappings between PrincipalTags and user attributes.

Arguments

  • identity_pool_id: You can use this operation to get the ID of the Identity Pool you setup attribute mappings for.
  • identity_provider_name: You can use this operation to get the provider name.
source
Main.Cognito_Identity.list_identitiesMethod
list_identities(identity_pool_id, max_results)
list_identities(identity_pool_id, max_results, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Lists the identities in an identity pool. You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

Arguments

  • identity_pool_id: An identity pool ID in the format REGION:GUID.
  • max_results: The maximum number of identities to return.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "HideDisabled": An optional boolean parameter that allows you to hide disabled identities. If omitted, the ListIdentities API will include disabled identities in the response.
  • "NextToken": A pagination token.
source
Main.Cognito_Identity.list_identity_poolsMethod
list_identity_pools(max_results)
list_identity_pools(max_results, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

Lists all of the Cognito identity pools registered for your account. You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

Arguments

  • max_results: The maximum number of identities to return.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "NextToken": A pagination token.
source
Main.Cognito_Identity.list_tags_for_resourceMethod
list_tags_for_resource(resource_arn)
list_tags_for_resource(resource_arn, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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.

Arguments

  • resource_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the identity pool that the tags are assigned to.
source
Main.Cognito_Identity.lookup_developer_identityMethod
lookup_developer_identity(identity_pool_id)
lookup_developer_identity(identity_pool_id, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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.

Arguments

  • identity_pool_id: An identity pool ID in the format REGION:GUID.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "DeveloperUserIdentifier": A unique ID used by your backend authentication process to identify a user. Typically, a developer identity provider would issue many developer user identifiers, in keeping with the number of users.
  • "IdentityId": A unique identifier in the format REGION:GUID.
  • "MaxResults": The maximum number of identities to return.
  • "NextToken": A pagination token. The first call you make will have NextToken set to null. After that the service will return NextToken values as needed. For example, let's say you make a request with MaxResults set to 10, and there are 20 matches in the database. The service will return a pagination token as a part of the response. This token can be used to call the API again and get results starting from the 11th match.

Main.Cognito_Identity.merge_developer_identitiesMethod
merge_developer_identities(destination_user_identifier, developer_provider_name, identity_pool_id, source_user_identifier)
merge_developer_identities(destination_user_identifier, developer_provider_name, identity_pool_id, source_user_identifier, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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.

Arguments

  • destination_user_identifier: User identifier for the destination user. The value should be a DeveloperUserIdentifier.
  • developer_provider_name: The "domain" by which Cognito will refer to your users. This is a (pseudo) domain name that you provide while creating an identity pool. 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 (-).
  • identity_pool_id: An identity pool ID in the format REGION:GUID.
  • source_user_identifier: User identifier for the source user. The value should be a DeveloperUserIdentifier.
source
Main.Cognito_Identity.set_identity_pool_rolesMethod
set_identity_pool_roles(identity_pool_id, roles)
set_identity_pool_roles(identity_pool_id, roles, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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.

Arguments

  • identity_pool_id: An identity pool ID in the format REGION:GUID.
  • roles: The map of roles associated with this pool. For a given role, the key will be either "authenticated" or "unauthenticated" and the value will be the Role ARN.

Optional Parameters

Optional parameters can be passed as a params::Dict{String,<:Any}. Valid keys are:

  • "RoleMappings": How users for a specific identity provider are to mapped to roles. This is a string to RoleMapping object map. The string identifies the identity provider, for example, "graph.facebook.com" or "cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1abcdefghi:appclient_id". Up to 25 rules can be specified per identity provider.
source
Main.Cognito_Identity.set_principal_tag_attribute_mapMethod
set_principal_tag_attribute_map(identity_pool_id, identity_provider_name)
set_principal_tag_attribute_map(identity_pool_id, identity_provider_name, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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

Arguments

  • identity_pool_id: The ID of the Identity Pool you want to set attribute mappings for.
  • identity_provider_name: The provider name you want to use for attribute mappings.

Optional Parameters

source
Main.Cognito_Identity.tag_resourceMethod
tag_resource(resource_arn, tags)
tag_resource(resource_arn, tags, params::Dict{String,<:Any})

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.

Arguments

  • resource_arn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the identity pool.
  • tags: The tags to assign to the identity pool.
