Options

--client-id (string)

The unique identifier string for the client or application. This value comes from the result of the RegisterClient API.

--client-secret (string)

A secret string generated for the client. This value should come from the persisted result of the RegisterClient API.

--grant-type (string)

Supports the following OAuth grant types: Device Code and Refresh Token. Specify either of the following values, depending on the grant type that you want:

  • Device Code - urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code
  • Refresh Token - refresh_token

For information about how to obtain the device code, see the StartDeviceAuthorization topic.

--device-code (string)

Used only when calling this API for the Device Code grant type. This short-term code is used to identify this authorization request. This comes from the result of the StartDeviceAuthorization API.

--code (string)

Used only when calling this API for the Authorization Code grant type. The short-term code is used to identify this authorization request. This grant type is currently unsupported for the CreateToken API.

--refresh-token (string)

Used only when calling this API for the Refresh Token grant type. This token is used to refresh short-term tokens, such as the access token, that might expire.

For more information about the features and limitations of the current IAM Identity Center OIDC implementation, see Considerations for Using this Guide in the IAM Identity Center OIDC API Reference .

--scope (list)

The list of scopes for which authorization is requested. The access token that is issued is limited to the scopes that are granted. If this value is not specified, IAM Identity Center authorizes all scopes that are configured for the client during the call to RegisterClient .

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--redirect-uri (string)

Used only when calling this API for the Authorization Code grant type. This value specifies the location of the client or application that has registered to receive the authorization code.

--code-verifier (string)

Used only when calling this API for the Authorization Code grant type. This value is generated by the client and presented to validate the original code challenge value the client passed at authorization time.

--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)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--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.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--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.

Indicates the time in seconds when an access token will expire.

refreshToken -> (string)

A token that, if present, can be used to refresh a previously issued access token that might have expired.
