AWS SSO OIDC

AWS SSO OIDC

IAM Identity Center OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a web service that enables a client (such as CLI or a native application) to register with IAM Identity Center. The service also enables the client to fetch the user’s access token upon successful authentication and authorization with IAM Identity Center.

API namespaces

IAM Identity Center uses the sso and identitystore API namespaces. IAM Identity Center OpenID Connect uses the sso-oidc namespace.

Considerations for using this guide

Before you begin using this guide, we recommend that you first review the following important information about how the IAM Identity Center OIDC service works.

  • The IAM Identity Center OIDC service currently implements only the portions of the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant standard (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8628) that are necessary to enable single sign-on authentication with the CLI.

  • With older versions of the CLI, the service only emits OIDC access tokens, so to obtain a new token, users must explicitly re-authenticate. To access the OIDC flow that supports token refresh and doesn’t require re-authentication, update to the latest CLI version (1.27.10 for CLI V1 and 2.9.0 for CLI V2) with support for OIDC token refresh and configurable IAM Identity Center session durations. For more information, see Configure Amazon Web Services access portal session duration

    .

  • The access tokens provided by this service grant access to all Amazon Web Services account entitlements assigned to an IAM Identity Center user, not just a particular application.

  • The documentation in this guide does not describe the mechanism to convert the access token into Amazon Web Services Auth (“sigv4”) credentials for use with IAM-protected Amazon Web Services service endpoints. For more information, see GetRoleCredentials

    in the IAM Identity Center Portal API Reference Guide.

For general information about IAM Identity Center, see What is IAM Identity Center?

in the IAM Identity Center User Guide.

ssooidc(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.

Service syntax

svc <- ssooidc(
  config = list(
    credentials = list(
 creds = list(
   access_key_id = "string",
   secret_access_key = "string",
   session_token = "string"
 ),
 profile = "string",
 anonymous = "logical"
    ),
    endpoint = "string",
    region = "string",
    close_connection = "logical",
    timeout = "numeric",
    s3_force_path_style = "logical",
    sts_regional_endpoint = "string"
  ),
  credentials = list(
    creds = list(
 access_key_id = "string",
 secret_access_key = "string",
 session_token = "string"
    ),
    profile = "string",
    anonymous = "logical"
  ),
  endpoint = "string",
  region = "string"
)

Operations

create_tokenCreates and returns access and refresh tokens for clients that are authenticated using client secrets
create_token_with_iamCreates and returns access and refresh tokens for clients and applications that are authenticated using IAM entities
register_clientRegisters a public client with IAM Identity Center
start_device_authorizationInitiates device authorization by requesting a pair of verification codes from the authorization service

Examples

## Not run: svc <- ssooidc() svc$create_token( Foo = 123 ) ## End(Not run)
