AWS Cognito as a SAML IdP

0

I have a Cognito user pool and want to integrate my users into another system. The other system supports SAML, but I haven't found a way to enable Cognito as an IdP. From my research, it seems that Identity Center can act as a SAML IdP, but my users are not in IAM Identity Center. Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks.

You're correct that Amazon Cognito user pools don't natively support acting as a SAML Identity Provider (IdP). Cognito is designed primarily to be a SAML Service Provider (SP) that can federate with external SAML IdPs, rather than serving as an IdP itself.

There is currently no way to achieve this functionality with Amazon Cognito user pools. If you need SAML IdP capabilities within AWS, you would need to consider alternative solutions like AWS IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO).

    I already have all my users in a user pool. Does using Identity Center mean discarding our current solution and starting over, or is there a way to combine a user pool with Identity Center?
