Options

--user-pool-id (string)

The user pool ID for the user pool where you want to create a user pool client.

--client-name (string)

The client name for the user pool client you would like to create.

--generate-secret | --no-generate-secret (boolean)

Boolean to specify whether you want to generate a secret for the user pool client being created.

--refresh-token-validity (integer)

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.

--access-token-validity (integer)

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.

--id-token-validity (integer)

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 AccessTokenValidity in an API request is hours. Valid range is displayed below in seconds.

--token-validity-units (structure)

The units in which the validity times are represented. The default unit for RefreshToken is days, and default for ID and access tokens are hours.

AccessToken -> (string)

A time unit of seconds , minutes , hours , or days for the value that you set in the AccessTokenValidity parameter. The default AccessTokenValidity time unit is hours.

IdToken -> (string)

A time unit of seconds , minutes , hours , or days for the value that you set in the IdTokenValidity parameter. The default IdTokenValidity time unit is hours.

RefreshToken -> (string)

A time unit of seconds , minutes , hours , or days for the value that you set in the RefreshTokenValidity parameter. The default RefreshTokenValidity time unit is days.

The read attributes.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--write-attributes (list)

The user pool attributes that the app client can write to.

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 .

Note

Values with ALLOW_ prefix must be used only along with the ALLOW_ prefix.

Valid values include:

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, Amazon Cognito receives the password in the request instead of using the Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol to verify passwords.

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.

--allowed-o-auth-flows-user-pool-client | --no-allowed-o-auth-flows-user-pool-client (boolean)

Set to true if the client is allowed to follow the OAuth protocol when interacting with Amazon Cognito user pools.

--analytics-configuration (structure)

The user pool analytics configuration for collecting metrics and sending them to your Amazon Pinpoint campaign.

Note

In Amazon Web Services Regions where Amazon Pinpoint isn’t available, user pools only support sending events to Amazon Pinpoint projects in Amazon Web Services Region us-east-1. In Regions where Amazon Pinpoint is available, user pools support sending events to Amazon Pinpoint projects within that same Region.

ApplicationId -> (string)

The application ID for an Amazon Pinpoint application.

ApplicationArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Amazon Pinpoint project. You can use the Amazon Pinpoint project to integrate with the chosen user pool Client. Amazon Cognito publishes events to the Amazon Pinpoint project that the app ARN declares.

RoleArn -> (string)

The ARN of an Identity and Access Management role that authorizes Amazon Cognito to publish events to Amazon Pinpoint analytics.

ExternalId -> (string)

The external ID.

UserDataShared -> (boolean)

If UserDataShared is true , Amazon Cognito includes user data in the events that it publishes to Amazon Pinpoint analytics.

Shorthand Syntax:

ApplicationId=string,ApplicationArn=string,RoleArn=string,ExternalId=string,UserDataShared=boolean

JSON Syntax:

{
  "ApplicationId": "string",
  "ApplicationArn": "string",
  "RoleArn": "string",
  "ExternalId": "string",
  "UserDataShared": true|false
}

--prevent-user-existence-errors (string)

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.

Possible values:

  • LEGACY

  • ENABLED

--enable-token-revocation | --no-enable-token-revocation (boolean)

Activates or deactivates token revocation. For more information about revoking tokens, see RevokeToken .

If you don’t include this parameter, token revocation is automatically activated for the new user pool client.

--enable-propagate-additional-user-context-data | --no-enable-propagate-additional-user-context-data (boolean)

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.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To create a user pool client

This example creates a new user pool client with two explicit authorization flows: USER_PASSWORD_AUTH and ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH.

Command:

aws cognito-idp create-user-pool-client --user-pool-id us-west-2_aaaaaaaaa  --client-name MyNewClient --no-generate-secret --explicit-auth-flows "USER_PASSWORD_AUTH" "ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH"
