Synopsis

Calls the AWS Transfer for SFTP TestIdentityProvider API operation.

Syntax

Test-TFRIdentityProvider
-ServerId <String>
-ServerProtocol <Protocol>
-SourceIp <String>
-UserName <String>
-UserPassword <String>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonTransferConfig>

Description

If the IdentityProviderType of a file transfer protocol-enabled server is AWS_DIRECTORY_SERVICE or API_Gateway, tests whether your identity provider is set up successfully. We highly recommend that you call this operation to test your authentication method as soon as you create your server. By doing so, you can troubleshoot issues with the identity provider integration to ensure that your users can successfully use the service. The ServerId and UserName parameters are required. The ServerProtocol, SourceIp, and UserPassword are all optional. Note the following:
  • You cannot use TestIdentityProvider if the IdentityProviderType of your server is SERVICE_MANAGED.
  • TestIdentityProvider does not work with keys: it only accepts passwords.
  • TestIdentityProvider can test the password operation for a custom Identity Provider that handles keys and passwords.
  • If you provide any incorrect values for any parameters, the Response field is empty.
  • If you provide a server ID for a server that uses service-managed users, you get an error: An error occurred (InvalidRequestException) when calling the TestIdentityProvider operation: s-server-ID not configured for external auth
  • If you enter a Server ID for the --server-id parameter that does not identify an actual Transfer server, you receive the following error: An error occurred (ResourceNotFoundException) when calling the TestIdentityProvider operation: Unknown server. It is possible your sever is in a different region. You can specify a region by adding the following: --region region-code, such as --region us-east-2 to specify a server in US East (Ohio).

Parameters

-ClientConfig <AmazonTransferConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.TFR.AmazonTransferClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the ServerId parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^ServerId' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
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.Transfer.Model.TestIdentityProviderResponse).

Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ServerId <String>
A system-assigned identifier for a specific server. That server's user authentication method is tested with a user name and password.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ServerProtocol <Protocol>
The type of file transfer protocol to be tested.The available protocols are:
  • Secure Shell (SSH) File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)

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.
