AWS SDK for JavaScript Sso Oidc Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native
The @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc package is a client library for AWS Single Sign-On OIDC (OpenID Connect) service. It allows developers to programmatically interact with the AWS SSO OIDC service to create and manage authentication tokens for federated users accessing AWS resources.
CreateToken
This feature allows you to create a new token for a registered client. This is typically used to get an access token using a refresh token.
const { SSOOIDCClient, CreateTokenCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc');
const client = new SSOOIDCClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new CreateTokenCommand({
clientId: 'exampleClientId',
clientSecret: 'exampleClientSecret',
grantType: 'refresh_token',
refreshToken: 'exampleRefreshToken',
scope: ['aws.cognito.signin.user.admin']
});
client.send(command).then((response) => {
console.log(response);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});RegisterClient
This feature is used to register a new client with AWS SSO OIDC service. It is the first step in setting up the OIDC relationship.
const { SSOOIDCClient, RegisterClientCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc');
const client = new SSOOIDCClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new RegisterClientCommand({
clientName: 'exampleClientName',
clientType: 'public',
scopes: ['aws.cognito.signin.user.admin']
});
client.send(command).then((response) => {
console.log(response);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});StartDeviceAuthorization
This feature initiates the device authorization flow by getting a device code that can be used by end-users to authorize their device.
const { SSOOIDCClient, StartDeviceAuthorizationCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc');
const client = new SSOOIDCClient({ region: 'us-west-2' });
const command = new StartDeviceAuthorizationCommand({
clientId: 'exampleClientId',
clientSecret: 'exampleClientSecret',
startUrl: 'https://my-sso-start-url.example.com'
});
client.send(command).then((response) => {
console.log(response);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});The openid-client package is a server-side library that allows you to interact with OpenID Connect (OIDC) providers. It is more generic than @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc and can be used with any OIDC-compliant provider, not just AWS SSO.
This package is a collection of Passport strategies to help you integrate with Azure Active Directory. It is similar to @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc in that it deals with OIDC, but it is specifically tailored for Azure AD rather than AWS SSO.
While not strictly for OIDC, amazon-cognito-identity-js is an AWS library that allows you to work with Amazon Cognito, which can act as an OIDC identity provider. It provides user authentication and access control features similar to what you might use @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc for, but it is specific to Amazon Cognito.

IAM Identity Center OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a web service that enables a client (such as CLI or a native application) to register with IAM Identity Center. The service also enables the client to fetch the user’s access token upon successful authentication and authorization with IAM Identity Center.
IAM Identity Center uses the sso and identitystore API namespaces.
Considerations for Using This Guide
Before you begin using this guide, we recommend that you first review the following important information about how the IAM Identity Center OIDC service works.
The IAM Identity Center OIDC service currently implements only the portions of the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant standard (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8628) that are necessary to enable single sign-on authentication with the CLI.
With older versions of the CLI, the service only emits OIDC access tokens, so to obtain a new token, users must explicitly re-authenticate. To access the OIDC flow that supports token refresh and doesn’t require re-authentication, update to the latest CLI version (1.27.10 for CLI V1 and 2.9.0 for CLI V2) with support for OIDC token refresh and configurable IAM Identity Center session durations. For more information, see Configure Amazon Web Services access portal session duration .
The access tokens provided by this service grant access to all Amazon Web Services account entitlements assigned to an IAM Identity Center user, not just a particular application.
The documentation in this guide does not describe the mechanism to convert the access token into Amazon Web Services Auth (“sigv4”) credentials for use with IAM-protected Amazon Web Services service endpoints. For more information, see GetRoleCredentials in the IAM Identity Center Portal API Reference Guide.
For general information about IAM Identity Center, see What is IAM Identity Center? in the IAM Identity Center User Guide.
To install this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidcyarn add @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidcpnpm add @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidcThe AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the SSOOIDCClient and
the commands you need, for example CreateTokenCommand:
// ES5 example
const { SSOOIDCClient, CreateTokenCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc");
// ES6+ example
import { SSOOIDCClient, CreateTokenCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc";
To send a request, you:
send operation on client with command object as input.destroy() to close open connections.// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new SSOOIDCClient({ region: "REGION" });
const params = {
/** input parameters */
};
const command = new CreateTokenCommand(params);
We recommend using await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
} finally {
// finally.
}
Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.
You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.
client.send(command).then(
(data) => {
// process data.
},
(error) => {
// error handling.
}
);
Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:
client
.send(command)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
})
.finally(() => {
// finally.
});
We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.
// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript
import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc";
const client = new AWS.SSOOIDC({ region: "REGION" });
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.createToken(params);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
}
// Promises.
client
.createToken(params)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
});
// callbacks.
client.createToken(params, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});
When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
/**
* The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
* You can access them by specifying exception names:
* if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
* const value = error.specialKeyInException;
* }
*/
}
