Package cognitoidentityprovider provides the API client, operations, and
parameter types for Amazon Cognito Identity Provider.
With the Amazon Cognito user pools API, you can configure user pools and
authenticate users. To authenticate users from third-party identity providers
(IdPs) in this API, you can link IdP users to native user profiles (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-identity-federation-consolidate-users.html)
. Learn more about the authentication and authorization of federated users at
Adding user pool sign-in through a third party (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-identity-federation.html)
and in the User pool federation endpoints and hosted UI reference (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-userpools-server-contract-reference.html)
. This API reference provides detailed information about API operations and
object types in Amazon Cognito. Along with resource management operations, the
Amazon Cognito user pools API includes classes of operations and authorization
models for client-side and server-side authentication of users. You can interact

subjects.
