Description

AWS SDK for JavaScript SSOOIDC Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.

Amazon Web Services Single Sign On OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a web service that enables a client (such as Amazon Web Services CLI or a native application) to register with Amazon Web Services SSO. The service also enables the client to fetch the user’s access token upon successful authentication and authorization with Amazon Web Services SSO.

Although Amazon Web Services Single Sign-On was renamed, the sso and identitystore API namespaces will continue to retain their original name for backward compatibility purposes. For more information, see Amazon Web Services SSO 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 Amazon Web Services SSO OIDC service works.

• The Amazon Web Services SSO 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 Amazon Web Services SSO 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 Amazon Web Services SSO Portal API Reference Guide.

For general information about Amazon Web Services SSO, see What is Amazon Web Services SSO? in the Amazon Web Services SSO User Guide.

Installing

To install the this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc using your favorite package manager:

• npm install @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc
• yarn add @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc
• pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc

Getting Started

Import

The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands. To send a request, you only need to import the SSOOIDCClient and the commands you need, for example CreateTokenCommand:

// ES5 example
const { SSOOIDCClient, CreateTokenCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc");

// ES6+ example
import { SSOOIDCClient, CreateTokenCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc";

Usage

To send a request, you:

• Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
• Initiate command with input parameters.
• Call send operation on client with command object as input.
• If you are using a custom http handler, you may call destroy() to close open connections.

// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new SSOOIDCClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = {
  /** input parameters */
};
const command = new CreateTokenCommand(params);

Async/await

We recommend using await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
} finally {
  // finally.
}

Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.

client.send(command).then(
  (data) => {
    // process data.
  },
  (error) => {
    // error handling.
  }
);

Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:

client
  .send(command)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  })
  .finally(() => {
    // finally.
  });

Callbacks

We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.

// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
  // process err and data.
});

v2 compatible style

The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript

import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc";
const client = new AWS.SSOOIDC({ region: "REGION" });

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.createToken(params);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
}

// Promises.
client
  .createToken(params)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  });

// callbacks.
client.createToken(params, (err, data) => {
  // process err and data.
});

Troubleshooting

When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).

try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$$metadata;
  console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
  /**
   * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
   * You can access them by specifying exception names:
   * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
   *     const value = error.specialKeyInException;
   * }
   */
}
