share-directory

Description

Shares a specified directory (DirectoryId ) in your Amazon Web Services account (directory owner) with another Amazon Web Services account (directory consumer). With this operation you can use your directory from any Amazon Web Services account and from any Amazon VPC within an Amazon Web Services Region.

When you share your Managed Microsoft AD directory, Directory Service creates a shared directory in the directory consumer account. This shared directory contains the metadata to provide access to the directory within the directory owner account. The shared directory is visible in all VPCs in the directory consumer account.

The ShareMethod parameter determines whether the specified directory can be shared between Amazon Web Services accounts inside the same Amazon Web Services organization (ORGANIZATIONS ). It also determines whether you can share the directory with any other Amazon Web Services account either inside or outside of the organization (HANDSHAKE ).

The ShareNotes parameter is only used when HANDSHAKE is called, which sends a directory sharing request to the directory consumer.

Options

--directory-id (string)

Identifier of the Managed Microsoft AD directory that you want to share with other Amazon Web Services accounts.

--share-notes (string)

A directory share request that is sent by the directory owner to the directory consumer. The request includes a typed message to help the directory consumer administrator determine whether to approve or reject the share invitation.

--share-target (structure)

Identifier for the directory consumer account with whom the directory is to be shared.

Id -> (string)

Identifier of the directory consumer account.

Type -> (string)

Type of identifier to be used in the Id field.

Shorthand Syntax:

Id=string,Type=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Id": "string",
  "Type": "ACCOUNT"
}

--share-method (string)

The method used when sharing a directory to determine whether the directory should be shared within your Amazon Web Services organization (ORGANIZATIONS ) or with any Amazon Web Services account by sending a directory sharing request (HANDSHAKE ).

Possible values:

  • ORGANIZATIONS
  • HANDSHAKE

--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)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)
