Setting up customer managed SAML 2.0 applications

If you use customer managed applications that support SAML 2.0, you can federate your IdP to IAM Identity Center through SAML 2.0 and use IAM Identity Center to manage user access to those applications. You can select a SAML 2.0 application from a catalog of commonly used applications in the IAM Identity Center console, or you can set up your own SAML 2.0 application.

Note

If you have customer managed applications that support OAuth 2.0 and your users need access from these applications to AWS services, you can use trusted identity propagation. With trusted identity propagation, a user can sign in to an application, and that application can pass the users’ identity in requests to access data in AWS services. For more information, see Using trusted identity propagation with customer managed applications.
