Container for the parameters to the CreateOpenIDConnectProvider operation. Creates an IAM entity to describe an identity provider (IdP) that supports OpenID Connect (OIDC).
The OIDC provider that you create with this operation can be used as a principal in a role's trust policy. Such a policy establishes a trust relationship between Amazon Web Services and the OIDC provider.
If you are using an OIDC identity provider from Google, Facebook, or Amazon Cognito, you don't need to create a separate IAM identity provider. These OIDC identity providers are already built-in to Amazon Web Services and are available for your use. Instead, you can move directly to creating new roles using your identity provider. To learn more, see Creating a role for web identity or OpenID connect federation in the IAM User Guide.
When you create the IAM OIDC provider, you specify the following:
The URL of the OIDC identity provider (IdP) to trust
A list of client IDs (also known as audiences) that identify the application or applications allowed to authenticate using the OIDC provider
A list of tags that are attached to the specified IAM OIDC provider
A list of thumbprints of one or more server certificates that the IdP uses
You get all of this information from the OIDC IdP you want to use to access Amazon Web Services.
Amazon Web Services secures communication with some OIDC identity providers (IdPs) through our library of trusted root certificate authorities (CAs) instead of using a certificate thumbprint to verify your IdP server certificate. In these cases, your legacy thumbprint remains in your configuration, but is no longer used for validation. These OIDC IdPs include Auth0, GitHub, GitLab, Google, and those that use an Amazon S3 bucket to host a JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) endpoint.
The trust for the OIDC provider is derived from the IAM provider that this operation creates. Therefore, it is best to limit access to the CreateOpenIDConnectProvider operation to highly privileged users.

ClientIDList | System.Collections.Generic.List<System.String> |
Gets and sets the property ClientIDList.
Provides 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 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.
There is no defined format for a client ID. The |

|
Tags | System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.IdentityManagement.Model.Tag> |
Gets and sets the property Tags. A list of tags that you want to attach to the new IAM OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider. Each tag consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about tagging, see Tagging IAM resources in the IAM User Guide. If any one of the tags is invalid or if you exceed the allowed maximum number of tags, then the entire request fails and the resource is not created. |
|
|
ThumbprintList | System.Collections.Generic.List<System.String> |
Gets and sets the property ThumbprintList. A list of server certificate thumbprints for the OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider's server certificates. Typically this list includes only one entry. However, IAM lets you have up to five thumbprints for an OIDC provider. This lets you maintain multiple thumbprints if the identity provider is rotating certificates. This parameter 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. 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 For more information about obtaining the OIDC provider thumbprint, see Obtaining the thumbprint for an OpenID Connect provider in the IAM user Guide. |

|
Url | System.String |
Gets and sets the property Url.
The URL of the identity provider. The URL must begin with You cannot register the same provider multiple times in a single Amazon Web Services account. If you try to submit a URL that has already been used for an OpenID Connect provider in the Amazon Web Services account, you will get an error. |
Examples
The following example defines a new OIDC provider in IAM with a client ID of my-application-id and pointing at the server with a URL of https://server.example.com.
To create an instance profile
var client = new AmazonIdentityManagementServiceClient();
var response = client.CreateOpenIDConnectProvider(new CreateOpenIDConnectProviderRequest
{
ClientIDList = new List<string> {
"my-application-id"
},
ThumbprintList = new List<string> {
"3768084dfb3d2b68b7897bf5f565da8efEXAMPLE"
},
Url = "https://server.example.com"
});
string openIDConnectProviderArn = response.OpenIDConnectProviderArn;
