Product Parameters
We recommend that you configure a user in IAM Identity Center if you plan to use the AWS Command Line Interface. The AWS access portal user interface makes it easy for IAM Identity Center users to select an AWS account and use the AWS CLI to get temporary security credentials. You can also configure the AWS CLI directly to authenticate users with IAM Identity Center.
To sign in through the AWS CLI with IAM Identity Center credentials
Check that you've completed the Prerequisites.
If you're signing in for the first time, configure your profile with the
aws configure ssowizard.After you configure your profile, run the following command, then follow the prompts in your terminal.
$ aws sso login --profile my-profile
Additional information
If you want more information about signing-in using the command-line, refer to the following resources.
For details on using IAM Identity Center credentials, see Getting IAM Identity Center user credentials for the AWS CLI or AWS SDKs.
For details on configuration, see Configuring the AWS CLI to use IAM Identity Center.
For more details on the AWS CLI sign-in process, see Signing in and getting credentials.
For more information about federated identities, see About web identity federation.
A federated identity is a user that can access secure AWS account resources with external identities. External identities can come from a corporate identity store (such as LDAP or Windows Active Directory) or from a third party (such as Login in with Amazon, Facebook, or Google). Federated identities don't sign in with the AWS Management Console or AWS access portal. The type of external identity in use determines how federated identities sign in.
Administrators must create a custom URL that includes https://signin.aws.amazon.com/federation. For more information, see Enabling custom identity broker access to the AWS Management Console.
Transaction (Non-Product Specific) Options
Transaction Options are parameters included within cart requests that are not product-specific. Instead, they impact the entire cart or session. In the same way as the Product Options above, Transaction Options are included within the cart request, either as an additional parameter in the add to cart link, or as an input within a form.
