AWS SSO OIDC

Creates and returns access and refresh tokens for clients and applications that are authenticated using IAM entities. The access token can be used to fetch short-term credentials for the assigned AWS accounts or to access application APIs using bearer authentication.

Request Syntax

client.create_token_with_iam(
    clientId='string',
    grantType='string',
    code='string',
    refreshToken='string',
    assertion='string',
    scope=[
        'string',
    ],
    redirectUri='string',
    subjectToken='string',

    requestedTokenType='string'
)

type clientId

string

param clientId

[REQUIRED]

The unique identifier string for the client or application. This value is an application ARN that has OAuth grants configured.

type grantType

string

param grantType

[REQUIRED]

Supports the following OAuth grant types: Authorization Code, Refresh Token, JWT Bearer, and Token Exchange. Specify one of the following values, depending on the grant type that you want:

• Authorization Code - authorization_code

• Refresh Token - refresh_token

• JWT Bearer - urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer

• Token Exchange - urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange

type code

string

param code

Used only when calling this API for the Authorization Code grant type. This short-term code is used to identify this authorization request. The code is obtained through a redirect from IAM Identity Center to a redirect URI persisted in the Authorization Code GrantOptions for the application.

type refreshToken

string

param refreshToken

Used only when calling this API for the Refresh Token grant type. This token is used to refresh short-term tokens, such as the access token, that might expire.

For more information about the features and limitations of the current IAM Identity Center OIDC implementation, see Considerations for Using this Guide in the IAM Identity Center OIDC API Reference .

type assertion

string

param assertion

Used only when calling this API for the JWT Bearer grant type. This value specifies the JSON Web Token (JWT) issued by a trusted token issuer. To authorize a trusted token issuer, configure the JWT Bearer GrantOptions for the application.

type scope

list

param scope

The list of scopes for which authorization is requested. The access token that is issued is limited to the scopes that are granted. If the value is not specified, IAM Identity Center authorizes all scopes configured for the application, including the following default scopes: openid , aws , sts:identity_context .

• (string) --

type redirectUri

string

param redirectUri

Used only when calling this API for the Authorization Code grant type. This value specifies the location of the client or application that has registered to receive the authorization code.

type subjectToken

string

param subjectToken

Used only when calling this API for the Token Exchange grant type. This value specifies the subject of the exchange. The value of the subject token must be an access token issued by IAM Identity Center to a different client or application. The access token must have authorized scopes that indicate the requested application as a target audience.

type subjectTokenType

string

param subjectTokenType

Used only when calling this API for the Token Exchange grant type. This value specifies the type of token that is passed as the subject of the exchange. The following value is supported:

• Access Token - urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token

type requestedTokenType

string

param requestedTokenType

Used only when calling this API for the Token Exchange grant type. This value specifies the type of token that the requester can receive. The following values are supported:

• Access Token - urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token

• Refresh Token - urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:refresh_token
