Description

Creates a new identity pool. The identity pool is a store of user identity information that is specific to your Amazon Web Services account. The keys for SupportedLoginProviders are as follows:
  • Facebook: graph.facebook.com
  • Google: accounts.google.com
  • Sign in With Apple: appleid.apple.com
  • Amazon: www.amazon.com
  • Twitter: api.twitter.com
  • Digits: www.digits.com
If you don't provide a value for a parameter, Amazon Cognito sets it to its default value. You must use Amazon Web Services developer credentials to call this operation.

Parameters

-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.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-AllowUnauthenticatedIdentity <Boolean>
TRUE if the identity pool supports unauthenticated logins.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAllowUnauthenticatedIdentities
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.CGI.AmazonCognitoIdentityClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-CognitoIdentityProvider <CognitoIdentityProviderInfo[]>
An array of Amazon Cognito user pools and their client IDs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesCognitoIdentityProviders
-DeveloperProviderName <String>
The "domain" by which Cognito will refer to your users. This name acts as a placeholder that allows your backend and the Cognito service to communicate about the developer provider. For the DeveloperProviderName, you can use letters as well as period (.), underscore (_), and dash (-).Once you have set a developer provider name, you cannot change it. Please take care in setting this parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-IdentityPoolName <String>
A string that you provide.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-IdentityPoolTag <Hashtable>
Tags to assign to the identity pool. A tag is a label that you can apply to identity pools to categorize and manage them in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, environment, or other criteria.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesIdentityPoolTags
-OpenIdConnectProviderARNs <String[]>
The Amazon Resource Names (ARN) of the OpenID Connect providers.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the IdentityPoolName parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^IdentityPoolName' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-SamlProviderARNs <String[]>
An array of Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the SAML provider for your identity pool.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.CognitoIdentity.Model.CreateIdentityPoolResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.CognitoIdentity.Model.CreateIdentityPoolResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-SupportedLoginProvider <Hashtable>
Optional key:value pairs mapping provider names to provider app IDs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information.
