Creating an AWS IAM Identity Center connection​

An external identity provider with automatic provisioning must be configured to create an AWS IAM Identity Center connection. To create the connection you need:
  • An access token
  • The SCIM URL

​
Using Access Token​

To create the connection you need:
  • A Start URL
  • An Access Token

​
Obtaining the credentials​

First, configure an external identity provider. Follow the AWS IAM Identity Center docs to connect to your desired provider. For G-Suite, follow the linked article. Next, enable automatic provisioning to obtain the access token. If it is not enabled, go to Settings > Enable automatic provisioning. A dialog window appears with start URL and the Access Token. Save these values. Otherwise, regenerate the access token by following the AWS documentation.

​
