Configure Shibboleth with Cognito user pool

Question

I'm trying to setup federated identity within congito user pool, the third party identity provider is based on Shibboleth, is there a documentation on how to do the integration ?

Answer

Hi Chedi,

AWS has no documentation about setting up Cognito user pool with Shibboleth. However, Shibboleth itself has a "Cognito guide" [1] in their knowledge-base.  It is a bit old (2018), but it gives me the impression that Shibboleth should be setup as generic SAML provider. Apologies if you were already familiar with Shibboleth's documentation.

I am also attaching some a link to some guides[2] that might help you setting up this federation.
