Amazon Cognito Identity

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.

  config = list(),
  credentials = list(),
  endpoint = NULL,
  region = NULL
)

Arguments

• config: Optional configuration of credentials, endpoint, and/or region.

  • credentials :

    • creds :

      • access_key_id : AWS access key ID
      • secret_access_key : AWS secret access key
      • session_token : AWS temporary session token

    • profile : The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.

    • anonymous : Set anonymous credentials.

  • endpoint : The complete URL to use for the constructed client.

  • region : The AWS Region used in instantiating the client.

  • close_connection : Immediately close all HTTP connections.

  • timeout : The time in seconds till a timeout exception is thrown when attempting to make a connection. The default is 60 seconds.

  • s3_force_path_style : Set this to true to force the request to use path-style addressing, i.e. http://s3.amazonaws.com/BUCKET/KEY.

  • sts_regional_endpoint : Set sts regional endpoint resolver to regional or legacy https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html

• credentials: Optional credentials shorthand for the config parameter

  • creds :

    • access_key_id : AWS access key ID
    • secret_access_key : AWS secret access key
    • session_token : AWS temporary session token

  • profile : The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.

  • anonymous : Set anonymous credentials.

• endpoint: Optional shorthand for complete URL to use for the constructed client.

• region: Optional shorthand for AWS Region used in instantiating the client.

Returns

A client for the service. You can call the service's operations using syntax like svc$operation(...), where svc is the name you've assigned to the client. The available operations are listed in the Operations section.
