--identity-pool-id
(string)
An identity pool ID in the format REGION:GUID.
--cli-input-json
(string)
Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
--debug
(boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url
(string)
Override command's default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl
(boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate
(boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output
(string)
The formatting style for command output.
--query
(string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile
(string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region
(string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version
(string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color
(string)
Turn on/off color output.
--no-sign-request
(boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle
(string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
To describe an identity pool
This example describes an identity pool.
Command:
aws cognito-identity describe-identity-pool --identity-pool-id "us-west-2:11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111"
Output:
{
"IdentityPoolId": "us-west-2:11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111",
"IdentityPoolName": "MyIdentityPool",
"AllowUnauthenticatedIdentities": false,
"CognitoIdentityProviders": [
{
"ProviderName": "cognito-idp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/us-west-2_111111111",
"ClientId": "3n4b5urk1ft4fl3mg5e62d9ado",
"ServerSideTokenCheck": false
}
]
}

AllowUnauthenticatedIdentities -> (boolean)
TRUE if the identity pool supports unauthenticated logins.
AllowClassicFlow -> (boolean)
Enables or disables the Basic (Classic) authentication flow. For more information, see Identity Pools (Federated Identities) Authentication Flow in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide .
SupportedLoginProviders -> (map)
Optional key:value pairs mapping provider names to provider app IDs.
key -> (string)
value -> (string)
DeveloperProviderName -> (string)
The "domain" by which Cognito will refer to your users.
OpenIdConnectProviderARNs -> (list)
The ARNs of the OpenID Connect providers.
(string)

A list representing an Amazon Cognito user pool and its client ID.
(structure)
A provider representing an Amazon Cognito user pool and its client ID.

The provider name for an Amazon Cognito user pool. For example,cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_123456789
.ClientId -> (string)
The client ID for the Amazon Cognito user pool.ServerSideTokenCheck -> (boolean)
TRUE if server-side token validation is enabled for the identity provider’s token.
Once you set
ServerSideTokenCheck
to TRUE for an identity pool, that identity pool will check with the integrated user pools to make sure that the user has not been globally signed out or deleted before the identity pool provides an OIDC token or AWS credentials for the user.If the user is signed out or deleted, the identity pool will return a 400 Not Authorized error.
