)[required] The ID of the user pool where you want to create an app client.
[required] A friendly name for the app client that you want to create.
When true, generates a client secret for the app client. Client
secrets are used with server-side and machine-to-machine applications.
For more information, see App client types.
The refresh token time limit. After this limit expires, your user can't
use their refresh token. To specify the time unit for
RefreshTokenValidity as seconds, minutes, hours, or days, set
a TokenValidityUnits value in your API request.
For example, when you set RefreshTokenValidity as 10 and
TokenValidityUnits as days, your user can refresh their session and
retrieve new access and ID tokens for 10 days.
The default time unit for RefreshTokenValidity in an API request is
days. You can't set RefreshTokenValidity to 0. If you do, Amazon
Cognito overrides the value with the default value of 30 days. Valid
range is displayed below in seconds.
If you don't specify otherwise in the configuration of your app client, your refresh tokens are valid for 30 days.
The access token time limit. After this limit expires, your user can't
use their access token. To specify the time unit for
AccessTokenValidity as seconds, minutes, hours, or days, set a
TokenValidityUnits value in your API request.
For example, when you set AccessTokenValidity to 10 and
TokenValidityUnits to hours, your user can authorize access with
their access token for 10 hours.
The default time unit for AccessTokenValidity in an API request is
hours. Valid range is displayed below in seconds.
If you don't specify otherwise in the configuration of your app client, your access tokens are valid for one hour.
The ID token time limit. After this limit expires, your user can't use
their ID token. To specify the time unit for IdTokenValidity as
seconds, minutes, hours, or days, set a TokenValidityUnits
value in your API request.
For example, when you set IdTokenValidity as 10 and
TokenValidityUnits as hours, your user can authenticate their
session with their ID token for 10 hours.
The default time unit for IdTokenValidity in an API request is hours.
Valid range is displayed below in seconds.
If you don't specify otherwise in the configuration of your app client, your ID tokens are valid for one hour.
The units that validity times are represented in. The default unit for refresh tokens is days, and the default for ID and access tokens are hours.
The list of user attributes that you want your app client to have read
access to. After your user authenticates in your app, their access token
authorizes them to read their own attribute value for any attribute in
this list. An example of this kind of activity is when your user selects
a link to view their profile information. Your app makes a
get_user API request to retrieve
and display your user's profile data.
When you don't specify the ReadAttributes for your app client, your
app can read the values of email_verified, phone_number_verified,
and the Standard attributes of your user pool. When your user pool app
client has read access to these default attributes, ReadAttributes
doesn't return any information. Amazon Cognito only populates
ReadAttributes in the API response if you have specified your own
custom set of read attributes.
The list of user attributes that you want your app client to have write
access to. After your user authenticates in your app, their access token
authorizes them to set or modify their own attribute value for any
attribute in this list. An example of this kind of activity is when you
present your user with a form to update their profile information and
they change their last name. Your app then makes an
update_user_attributes
API request and sets family_name to the new value.
When you don't specify the WriteAttributes for your app client, your
app can write the values of the Standard attributes of your user pool.
When your user pool has write access to these default attributes,
WriteAttributes doesn't return any information. Amazon Cognito only
populates WriteAttributes in the API response if you have specified
your own custom set of write attributes.
If your app client allows users to sign in through an IdP, this array must include all attributes that you have mapped to IdP attributes. Amazon Cognito updates mapped attributes when users sign in to your application through an IdP. If your app client does not have write access to a mapped attribute, Amazon Cognito throws an error when it tries to update the attribute. For more information, see Specifying IdP Attribute Mappings for Your user pool.
The authentication flows that you want your user pool client to support. For each app client in your user pool, you can sign in your users with any combination of one or more flows, including with a user name and Secure Remote Password (SRP), a user name and password, or a custom authentication process that you define with Lambda functions.
If you don't specify a value for ExplicitAuthFlows, your user client
supports ALLOW_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH, ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH, and
ALLOW_CUSTOM_AUTH.
Valid values include:
ALLOW_USER_AUTH: Enable selection-based sign-in with USER_AUTH.
This setting covers username-password, secure remote password (SRP),
passwordless, and passkey authentication. This authentiation flow
can do username-password and SRP authentication without other
ExplicitAuthFlows permitting them. For example users can complete
an SRP challenge through USER_AUTH without the flow
USER_SRP_AUTH being active for the app client. This flow doesn't
include CUSTOM_AUTH.
ALLOW_ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH: Enable admin based user password
authentication flow ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH. This setting
replaces the ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH setting. With this authentication
flow, your app passes a user name and password to Amazon Cognito in
the request, instead of using the Secure Remote Password (SRP)
protocol to securely transmit the password.
ALLOW_CUSTOM_AUTH: Enable Lambda trigger based authentication.
ALLOW_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH: Enable user password-based
authentication. In this flow, Amazon Cognito receives the password
in the request instead of using the SRP protocol to verify
passwords.
ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH: Enable SRP-based authentication.
ALLOW_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH: Enable authflow to refresh tokens.
In some environments, you will see the values ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH,
CUSTOM_AUTH_FLOW_ONLY, or USER_PASSWORD_AUTH. You can't assign these
legacy ExplicitAuthFlows values to user pool clients at the same time
as values that begin with ALLOW_, like ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH.
A list of provider names for the identity providers (IdPs) that are
supported on this client. The following are supported: COGNITO,
Facebook, Google, SignInWithApple, and LoginWithAmazon. You can
also specify the names that you configured for the SAML and OIDC IdPs in
your user pool, for example MySAMLIdP or MyOIDCIdP.
This setting applies to providers that you can access with managed login.
The removal of COGNITO from this list doesn't prevent authentication
operations for local users with the user pools API in an Amazon Web
Services SDK. The only way to prevent API-based authentication is to
block access with a WAF rule.
A list of allowed redirect (callback) URLs for the IdPs.
A redirect URI must:
Be an absolute URI.
Be registered with the authorization server. Amazon Cognito doesn't
accept authorization requests with redirect_uri values that aren't
in the list of CallbackURLs that you provide in this parameter.
Not include a fragment component.
See OAuth 2.0 - Redirection Endpoint.
Amazon Cognito requires HTTPS over HTTP except for http://localhost for testing purposes only.
App callback URLs such as myapp://example are also supported.
A list of allowed logout URLs for managed login authentication. For more information, see Logout endpoint.
The default redirect URI. In app clients with one assigned IdP, replaces
redirect_uri in authentication requests. Must be in the CallbackURLs
list.
The OAuth grant types that you want your app client to generate. To
create an app client that generates client credentials grants, you must
add client_credentials as the only allowed OAuth flow.
code
Use a code grant flow, which provides an authorization code as the
response. This code can be exchanged for access tokens with the
/oauth2/token endpoint.
implicit
Issue the access token (and, optionally, ID token, based on scopes) directly to your user.
client_credentials
Issue the access token from the /oauth2/token endpoint directly to a
non-person user using a combination of the client ID and client secret.
The OAuth 2.0 scopes that you want to permit your app client to
authorize. Scopes govern access control to user pool self-service API
operations, user data from the userInfo endpoint, and third-party
APIs. Possible values provided by OAuth are phone, email, openid,
and profile. Possible values provided by Amazon Web Services are
aws.cognito.signin.user.admin. Custom scopes created in Resource
Servers are also supported.
Set to true to use OAuth 2.0 features in your user pool app client.
AllowedOAuthFlowsUserPoolClient must be true before you can
configure the following features in your app client.
CallBackURLs: Callback URLs.
LogoutURLs: Sign-out redirect URLs.
AllowedOAuthScopes: OAuth 2.0 scopes.
AllowedOAuthFlows: Support for authorization code, implicit, and
client credentials OAuth 2.0 grants.
To use OAuth 2.0 features, configure one of these features in the Amazon
Cognito console or set AllowedOAuthFlowsUserPoolClient to true in a
create_user_pool_client
or
update_user_pool_client
API request. If you don't set a value for
AllowedOAuthFlowsUserPoolClient in a request with the CLI or SDKs, it
defaults to false.
The user pool analytics configuration for collecting metrics and sending them to your Amazon Pinpoint campaign.
In Amazon Web Services Regions where Amazon Pinpoint isn't available, user pools might not have access to analytics or might be configurable with campaigns in the US East (N. Virginia) Region. For more information, see Using Amazon Pinpoint analytics.
Errors and responses that you want Amazon Cognito APIs to return during
authentication, account confirmation, and password recovery when the
user doesn't exist in the user pool. When set to ENABLED and the user
doesn't exist, authentication returns an error indicating either the
username or password was incorrect. Account confirmation and password
recovery return a response indicating a code was sent to a simulated
destination. When set to LEGACY, those APIs return a
UserNotFoundException exception if the user doesn't exist in the user
pool.
Valid values include:
ENABLED - This prevents user existence-related errors.
LEGACY - This represents the early behavior of Amazon Cognito
where user existence related errors aren't prevented.
Defaults to LEGACY when you don't provide a value.
Activates or deactivates token revocation. For more information about
revoking tokens, see
revoke_token.
If you don't include this parameter, token revocation is automatically activated for the new user pool client.
Activates the propagation of additional user context data. For more
information about propagation of user context data, see Adding advanced security to a user pool.
If you don’t include this parameter, you can't send device fingerprint
information, including source IP address, to Amazon Cognito advanced
security. You can only activate
EnablePropagateAdditionalUserContextData in an app client that has a
client secret.
Amazon Cognito creates a session token for each API request in an
authentication flow. AuthSessionValidity is the duration, in minutes,
of that session token. Your user pool native user must respond to each
authentication challenge before the session expires.
