[ aws . connect ]

get-federation-token

Description

Supports SAML sign-in for Amazon Connect. Retrieves a token for federation. The token is for the Amazon Connect user which corresponds to the IAM credentials that were used to invoke this action.

For more information about how SAML sign-in works in Amazon Connect, see `Configure SAML with IAM for Amazon Connect in the *Amazon Connect Administrator Guide* . <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/configure-saml.html >`__

Note

This API doesn't support root users. If you try to invoke GetFederationToken with root credentials, an error message similar to the following one appears:

Provided identity: Principal: .... User: .... cannot be used for federation with Amazon Connect

Options

--instance-id (string)

The identifier of the Amazon Connect instance. You can find the instance ID in the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the instance.

--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.

Global Options

--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)

--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.
