[REQUIRED]
The user pool ID for the user pool where you want to create a user pool client.
[REQUIRED]
The client name for the user pool client you would like to create.
The refresh token time limit. After this limit expires, your user can't use their refresh token. To specify the time unit for RefreshTokenValidity as seconds , minutes , hours , or days , set a TokenValidityUnits value in your API request.
For example, when you set RefreshTokenValidity as 10 and TokenValidityUnits as days , your user can refresh their session and retrieve new access and ID tokens for 10 days.
The default time unit for RefreshTokenValidity in an API request is days. You can't set RefreshTokenValidity to 0. If you do, Amazon Cognito overrides the value with the default value of 30 days. Valid range is displayed below in seconds.
If you don't specify otherwise in the configuration of your app client, your refresh tokens are valid for 30 days.
The access token time limit. After this limit expires, your user can't use their access token. To specify the time unit for AccessTokenValidity as seconds , minutes , hours , or days , set a TokenValidityUnits value in your API request.
For example, when you set AccessTokenValidity to 10 and TokenValidityUnits to hours , your user can authorize access with their access token for 10 hours.
The default time unit for AccessTokenValidity in an API request is hours. Valid range is displayed below in seconds.
If you don't specify otherwise in the configuration of your app client, your access tokens are valid for one hour.
The ID token time limit. After this limit expires, your user can't use their ID token. To specify the time unit for IdTokenValidity as seconds , minutes , hours , or days , set a TokenValidityUnits value in your API request.
For example, when you set IdTokenValidity as 10 and TokenValidityUnits as hours , your user can authenticate their session with their ID token for 10 hours.
The default time unit for AccessTokenValidity in an API request is hours. Valid range is displayed below in seconds.
If you don't specify otherwise in the configuration of your app client, your ID tokens are valid for one hour.
The units in which the validity times are represented. The default unit for RefreshToken is days, and default for ID and access tokens are hours.
A time unit of seconds , minutes , hours , or days for the value that you set in the AccessTokenValidity parameter. The default AccessTokenValidity time unit is hours.
A time unit of seconds , minutes , hours , or days for the value that you set in the IdTokenValidity parameter. The default IdTokenValidity time unit is hours.
A time unit of seconds , minutes , hours , or days for the value that you set in the RefreshTokenValidity parameter. The default RefreshTokenValidity time unit is days.
The read attributes.
The user pool attributes that the app client can write to.
If your app client allows users to sign in through an IdP, this array must include all attributes that you have mapped to IdP attributes. Amazon Cognito updates mapped attributes when users sign in to your application through an IdP. If your app client does not have write access to a mapped attribute, Amazon Cognito throws an error when it tries to update the attribute. For more information, see Specifying IdP Attribute Mappings for Your user pool.
The authentication flows that you want your user pool client to support. For each app client in your user pool, you can sign in your users with any combination of one or more flows, including with a user name and Secure Remote Password (SRP), a user name and password, or a custom authentication process that you define with Lambda functions.
Note
If you don't specify a value for ExplicitAuthFlows , your user client supports ALLOW_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH , ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH , and ALLOW_CUSTOM_AUTH .
Valid values include:
ALLOW_ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH : Enable admin based user password authentication flow ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH . This setting replaces the ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH setting. With this authentication flow, your app passes a user name and password to Amazon Cognito in the request, instead of using the Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol to securely transmit the password.ALLOW_CUSTOM_AUTH : Enable Lambda trigger based authentication.ALLOW_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH : Enable user password-based authentication. In this flow, Amazon Cognito receives the password in the request instead of using the SRP protocol to verify passwords.ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH : Enable SRP-based authentication.ALLOW_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH : Enable authflow to refresh tokens.In some environments, you will see the values ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH , CUSTOM_AUTH_FLOW_ONLY , or USER_PASSWORD_AUTH . You can't assign these legacy ExplicitAuthFlows values to user pool clients at the same time as values that begin with ALLOW_ , like ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH .
A list of provider names for the identity providers (IdPs) that are supported on this client. The following are supported: COGNITO , Facebook , Google , SignInWithApple , and LoginWithAmazon . You can also specify the names that you configured for the SAML and OIDC IdPs in your user pool, for example MySAMLIdP or MyOIDCIdP .
A list of allowed redirect (callback) URLs for the IdPs.
A redirect URI must:
See OAuth 2.0 - Redirection Endpoint.
Amazon Cognito requires HTTPS over HTTP except for http://localhost for testing purposes only.
App callback URLs such as myapp://example are also supported.
A list of allowed logout URLs for the IdPs.
The default redirect URI. Must be in the CallbackURLs list.
A redirect URI must:
See OAuth 2.0 - Redirection Endpoint.
Amazon Cognito requires HTTPS over HTTP except for http://localhost for testing purposes only.
App callback URLs such as myapp://example are also supported.
The allowed OAuth flows.
code
Use a code grant flow, which provides an authorization code as the response. This code can be exchanged for access tokens with the /oauth2/token endpoint.
implicit
Issue the access token (and, optionally, ID token, based on scopes) directly to your user.
client_credentials
Issue the access token from the /oauth2/token endpoint directly to a non-person user using a combination of the client ID and client secret.
The allowed OAuth scopes. Possible values provided by OAuth are phone , email , openid , and profile . Possible values provided by Amazon Web Services are aws.cognito.signin.user.admin . Custom scopes created in Resource Servers are also supported.
The user pool analytics configuration for collecting metrics and sending them to your Amazon Pinpoint campaign.
Note
In Amazon Web Services Regions where Amazon Pinpoint isn't available, user pools only support sending events to Amazon Pinpoint projects in Amazon Web Services Region us-east-1. In Regions where Amazon Pinpoint is available, user pools support sending events to Amazon Pinpoint projects within that same Region.
The application ID for an Amazon Pinpoint application.
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Amazon Pinpoint project. You can use the Amazon Pinpoint project to integrate with the chosen user pool Client. Amazon Cognito publishes events to the Amazon Pinpoint project that the app ARN declares.
The ARN of an Identity and Access Management role that authorizes Amazon Cognito to publish events to Amazon Pinpoint analytics.
The external ID.
If UserDataShared is true , Amazon Cognito includes user data in the events that it publishes to Amazon Pinpoint analytics.
Errors and responses that you want Amazon Cognito APIs to return during authentication, account confirmation, and password recovery when the user doesn't exist in the user pool. When set to ENABLED and the user doesn't exist, authentication returns an error indicating either the username or password was incorrect. Account confirmation and password recovery return a response indicating a code was sent to a simulated destination. When set to LEGACY , those APIs return a UserNotFoundException exception if the user doesn't exist in the user pool.
Valid values include:
ENABLED - This prevents user existence-related errors.LEGACY - This represents the early behavior of Amazon Cognito where user existence related errors aren't prevented.Activates or deactivates token revocation. For more information about revoking tokens, see RevokeToken.
If you don't include this parameter, token revocation is automatically activated for the new user pool client.
EnablePropagateAdditionalUserContextData in an app client that has a client secret.AuthSessionValidity is the duration, in minutes, of that session token. Your user pool native user must respond to each authentication challenge before the session expires.dict
