create_identity_source

VerifiedPermissions.Client.create_identity_source(**kwargs)

Adds an identity source to a policy store–an Amazon Cognito user pool or OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider (IdP).

After you create an identity source, you can use the identities provided by the IdP as proxies for the principal in authorization queries that use the IsAuthorizedWithToken or BatchIsAuthorizedWithToken API operations. These identities take the form of tokens that contain claims about the user, such as IDs, attributes and group memberships. Identity sources provide identity (ID) tokens and access tokens. Verified Permissions derives information about your user and session from token claims. Access tokens provide action context to your policies, and ID tokens provide principal Attributes.

Warning

Tokens from an identity source user continue to be usable until they expire. Token revocation and resource deletion have no effect on the validity of a token in your policy store

Note

To reference a user from this identity source in your Cedar policies, refer to the following syntax examples.

• Amazon Cognito user pool: Namespace::[Entity type]::[User pool ID]|[user principal attribute], for example MyCorp::User::us-east-1_EXAMPLE|a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111.

• OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider: Namespace::[Entity type]::[principalIdClaim]|[user principal attribute], for example MyCorp::User::MyOIDCProvider|a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE22222.

Note

Verified Permissions is eventually consistent . It can take a few seconds for a new or changed element to propagate through the service and be visible in the results of other Verified Permissions operations.

Parameters:

• clientToken (string) –

  Specifies a unique, case-sensitive ID that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. This lets you safely retry the request without accidentally performing the same operation a second time. Passing the same value to a later call to an operation requires that you also pass the same value for all other parameters. We recommend that you use a UUID type of value..

  If you don’t provide this value, then Amazon Web Services generates a random one for you.

  If you retry the operation with the same ClientToken, but with different parameters, the retry fails with an ConflictException error.

  Verified Permissions recognizes a ClientToken for eight hours. After eight hours, the next request with the same parameters performs the operation again regardless of the value of ClientToken.

  This field is autopopulated if not provided.

• policyStoreId (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  Specifies the ID of the policy store in which you want to store this identity source. Only policies and requests made using this policy store can reference identities from the identity provider configured in the new identity source.

• configuration (dict) –

  [REQUIRED]

  Specifies the details required to communicate with the identity provider (IdP) associated with this identity source.

  Note

  This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: cognitoUserPoolConfiguration, openIdConnectConfiguration.

  • cognitoUserPoolConfiguration (dict) –

    Contains configuration details of a Amazon Cognito user pool that Verified Permissions can use as a source of authenticated identities as entities. It specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a Amazon Cognito user pool and one or more application client IDs.

    Example: "configuration":{"cognitoUserPoolConfiguration":{"userPoolArn":"arn:aws:cognito-idp:us-east-1:123456789012:userpool/us-east-1_1a2b3c4d5","clientIds": ["a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0kalbmc"],"groupConfiguration": {"groupEntityType": "MyCorp::Group"}}}

    • userPoolArn (string) – [REQUIRED]

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon Cognito user pool that contains the identities to be authorized.

      Example: "UserPoolArn": "arn:aws:cognito-idp:us-east-1:123456789012:userpool/us-east-1_1a2b3c4d5"

    • clientIds (list) –

      The unique application client IDs that are associated with the specified Amazon Cognito user pool.

      Example: "ClientIds": ["&ExampleCogClientId;"]

      • (string) –

    • groupConfiguration (dict) –

      The type of entity that a policy store maps to groups from an Amazon Cognito user pool identity source.

      • groupEntityType (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The name of the schema entity type that’s mapped to the user pool group. Defaults to AWS::CognitoGroup.

  • openIdConnectConfiguration (dict) –

    Contains configuration details of an OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider, or identity source, that Verified Permissions can use to generate entities from authenticated identities. It specifies the issuer URL, token type that you want to use, and policy store entity details.

    Example: "configuration":{"openIdConnectConfiguration":{"issuer":"https://auth.example.com","tokenSelection":{"accessTokenOnly":{"audiences":["https://myapp.example.com","https://myapp2.example.com"],"principalIdClaim":"sub"}},"entityIdPrefix":"MyOIDCProvider","groupConfiguration":{"groupClaim":"groups","groupEntityType":"MyCorp::UserGroup"}}}

    • issuer (string) – [REQUIRED]

      The issuer URL of an OIDC identity provider. This URL must have an OIDC discovery endpoint at the path .well-known/openid-configuration.

    • entityIdPrefix (string) –

      A descriptive string that you want to prefix to user entities from your OIDC identity provider. For example, if you set an entityIdPrefix of MyOIDCProvider, you can reference principals in your policies in the format MyCorp::User::MyOIDCProvider|Carlos.

    • groupConfiguration (dict) –

      The claim in OIDC identity provider tokens that indicates a user’s group membership, and the entity type that you want to map it to. For example, this object can map the contents of a groups claim to MyCorp::UserGroup.

      • groupClaim (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The token claim that you want Verified Permissions to interpret as group membership. For example, groups.

      • groupEntityType (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The policy store entity type that you want to map your users’ group claim to. For example, MyCorp::UserGroup. A group entity type is an entity that can have a user entity type as a member.

      The token type that you want to process from your OIDC identity provider. Your policy store can process either identity (ID) or access tokens from a given OIDC identity source.

      Note

      This is a Tagged Union structure. Only one of the following top level keys can be set: accessTokenOnly, identityTokenOnly.

      • accessTokenOnly (dict) –

        The OIDC configuration for processing access tokens. Contains allowed audience claims, for example https://auth.example.com, and the claim that you want to map to the principal, for example sub.
