/**
*
* AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS Single Sign-On) OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a web service that enables a
* client (such as AWS 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.
*
*
*
* Although AWS Single Sign-On was renamed, the sso and identitystore API namespaces will
* continue to retain their original name for backward compatibility purposes. For more information, see IAM Identity Center rename.
*
*
*
* 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 AWS CLI. Support for other OIDC flows frequently needed
* for native applications, such as Authorization Code Flow (+ PKCE), will be addressed in future releases.
*
*
* -
*
* The service emits only OIDC access tokens, such that obtaining a new token (For example, token refresh) requires
* explicit user re-authentication.
*
*
* -
*
* The access tokens provided by this service grant access to all AWS 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 AWS Auth (“sigv4”)
* credentials for use with IAM-protected AWS 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.
