OidcProviderNative

IAM OIDC identity providers are entities in IAM that describe an external identity provider (IdP) service that supports the OpenID Connect (OIDC) standard, such as Google or Salesforce. You use an IAM OIDC identity provider when you want to establish trust between an OIDC-compatible IdP and your AWS account. This is useful when creating a mobile app or web application that requires access to AWS resources, but you don't want to create custom sign-in code or manage your own user identities.

Import

import { OidcProviderNative } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-iam';

Or use the module namespace:

import * as iam from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-iam';
// iam.OidcProviderNative

Properties

Configuration passed to the constructor as OidcProviderNativeProps.

urlRequired
string

The URL of the identity provider. The URL must begin with https:// and should correspond to the iss claim in the provider's OpenID Connect ID tokens. Per the OIDC standard, path components are allowed but query parameters are not. Typically the URL consists of only a hostname, like https://server.example.org or https://example.com. You cannot register the same provider multiple times in a single AWS account. If you try to submit a URL that has already been used for an OpenID Connect provider in the AWS account, you will get an error. Warning: This URL cannot contain any port numbers

clientIdsOptional
string[]

A list of client IDs (also known as audiences). When a mobile or web app registers with an OpenID Connect provider, they establish a value that identifies the application. (This is the value that's sent as the client_id parameter on OAuth requests.) You can register multiple client IDs with the same provider. For example, you might have multiple applications that use the same OIDC provider. You cannot register more than 100 client IDs with a single IAM OIDC provider. Client IDs are up to 255 characters long.

Default: - no clients are allowed

oidcProviderNameOptional
string

The name of the Native OIDC Provider.

Default: - A name is automatically generated.

removalPolicyOptional
RemovalPolicy

The removal policy to apply to the OpenID Connect Provider.

Default: - RemovalPolicy.DESTROY

thumbprintsOptional
string[]

A list of server certificate thumbprints for the OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider's server certificates. Typically this list includes only 1 entry or empty. However, IAM lets you have up to 5 thumbprints for an OIDC provider. This lets you maintain multiple thumbprints if the identity provider is rotating certificates. The server certificate thumbprint is the hex-encoded SHA-1 hash value of the X.509 certificate used by the domain where the OpenID Connect provider makes its keys available. It is always a 40-character string. For example, assume that the OIDC provider is server.example.com and the provider stores its keys at https://keys.server.example.com/openid-connect. In that case, the thumbprint string would be the hex-encoded SHA-1 hash value of the certificate used by https://keys.server.example.com. This property is optional. If it is not included, IAM will retrieve and use the top intermediate certificate authority (CA) thumbprint of the OpenID Connect identity provider server certificate. Obtain the thumbprint of the root certificate authority from the provider's server as described in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_create_oidc_verify-thumbprint.html

Default: - no thumbprints are allowed. IAM will retrieve and use thumbprint of idenity provider server cerctificate
