A low-level client representing AWS SSO OIDC
AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On) OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a web service that enables a client (such as AWS 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.
Note
Although AWS Single Sign-On was renamed, the
sso
andidentitystore
API namespaces will continue to retain their original name for backward compatibility purposes. For more information, see IAM Identity Center rename .
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 AWS CLI. Support for other OIDC flows frequently needed for native applications, such as Authorization Code Flow (+ PKCE), will be addressed in future releases.
The service emits only OIDC access tokens, such that obtaining a new token (For example, token refresh) requires explicit user re-authentication.
The access tokens provided by this service grant access to all AWS 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 AWS Auth (“sigv4”) credentials for use with IAM-protected AWS 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 .
client = session.create_client('sso-oidc')
These are the available methods:
Check if an operation can be paginated.
operation_name (string) – The operation name. This is the same name
as the method name on the client. For example, if the
method name is create_foo
, and you’d normally invoke the
operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs)
, if the
create_foo
operation can be paginated, you can use the
call client.get_paginator("create_foo")
.
True
if the operation can be paginated,
False
otherwise.
Closes underlying endpoint connections.
Creates and returns an access token for the authorized client. The access token issued will be used to fetch short-term credentials for the assigned roles in the AWS account.

``urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code ``
For information about how to obtain the device code, see the StartDeviceAuthorization topic.

code (string) – The authorization code received from the authorization service. This parameter is required to perform an authorization grant request to get access to a token.

The token used to obtain an access token in the event that the access token is invalid or expired.
scope (list) –
The list of scopes that is defined by the client. Upon authorization, this list is used to restrict permissions when granting an access token.
(string) –
redirectUri (string) – The location of the application that will receive the authorization code. Users authorize the service to send the request to this location.

Create a paginator for an operation.

as the method name on the client. For example, if the

, if the
create_foo
operation can be paginated, you can use the
call client.get_paginator("create_foo")

method to
check if an operation is pageable.
