#include The AWS Security Token
* Service (STS) is a web service that enables you to request temporary,
* limited-privilege credentials for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users
* or for users that you authenticate (federated users). This guide provides
* descriptions of the STS API. For more detailed information about using this
* service, go to Temporary
* Security Credentials. For information about setting up signatures
* and authorization through the API, go to Signing
* AWS API Requests in the AWS General Reference. For general
* information about the Query API, go to Making
* Query Requests in Using IAM. For information about using security
* tokens with other AWS products, go to AWS
* Services That Work with IAM in the IAM User Guide. If you're
* new to AWS and need additional technical information about a specific AWS
* product, you can find the product's technical documentation at http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/.
* Endpoints By default, AWS Security Token Service (STS)
* is available as a global service, and all AWS STS requests go to a single
* endpoint at Most AWS
* Regions are enabled for operations in all AWS services by default. Those Regions
* are automatically activated for use with AWS STS. Some Regions, such as Asia
* Pacific (Hong Kong), must be manually enabled. To learn more about enabling and
* disabling AWS Regions, see Managing
* AWS Regions in the AWS General Reference. When you enable these AWS
* Regions, they are automatically activated for use with AWS STS. You cannot
* activate the STS endpoint for a Region that is disabled. Tokens that are valid
* in all AWS Regions are longer than tokens that are valid in Regions that are
* enabled by default. Changing this setting might affect existing systems where
* you temporarily store tokens. For more information, see Managing
* Global Endpoint Session Tokens in the IAM User Guide. After
* you activate a Region for use with AWS STS, you can direct AWS STS API calls to
* that Region. AWS STS recommends that you provide both the Region and endpoint
* when you make calls to a Regional endpoint. You can provide the Region alone for
* manually enabled Regions, such as Asia Pacific (Hong Kong). In this case, the
* calls are directed to the STS Regional endpoint. However, if you provide the
* Region alone for Regions enabled by default, the calls are directed to the
* global endpoint of To view the
* list of AWS STS endpoints and whether they are active by default, see Writing
* Code to Use AWS STS Regions in the IAM User Guide.
* Recording API requests STS supports AWS CloudTrail, which is a
* service that records AWS calls for your AWS account and delivers log files to an
* Amazon S3 bucket. By using information collected by CloudTrail, you can
* determine what requests were successfully made to STS, who made the request,
* when it was made, and so on. If you activate AWS STS endpoints in Regions
* other than the default global endpoint, then you must also turn on CloudTrail
* logging in those Regions. This is necessary to record any AWS STS API calls that
* are made in those Regions. For more information, see Turning
* On CloudTrail in Additional Regions in the AWS CloudTrail User
* Guide. AWS Security Token Service (STS) is a global service with a
* single endpoint at To learn more about CloudTrail, including how to turn it on and find your log
* files, see the AWS
* CloudTrail User Guide. Returns a set of temporary security credentials that you can use to access
* AWS resources that you might not normally have access to. These temporary
* credentials consist of an access key ID, a secret access key, and a security
* token. Typically, you use You cannot use AWS account root user credentials to call
* For cross-account access,
* imagine that you own multiple accounts and need to access resources in each
* account. You could create long-term credentials in each account to access those
* resources. However, managing all those credentials and remembering which one can
* access which account can be time consuming. Instead, you can create one set of
* long-term credentials in one account. Then use temporary security credentials to
* access all the other accounts by assuming roles in those accounts. For more
* information about roles, see IAM
* Roles in the IAM User Guide. Session Duration By default, the temporary security credentials created by
* Permissions The temporary security credentials created by (Optional) You can pass
* inline or managed session
* policies to this operation. You can pass a single JSON policy document to
* use as an inline session policy. You can also specify up to 10 managed policies
* to use as managed session policies. The plain text that you use for both inline
* and managed session policies can't exceed 2,048 characters. Passing policies to
* this operation returns new temporary credentials. The resulting session's
* permissions are the intersection of the role's identity-based policy and the
* session policies. You can use the role's temporary credentials in subsequent AWS
* API calls to access resources in the account that owns the role. You cannot use
* session policies to grant more permissions than those allowed by the
* identity-based policy of the role that is being assumed. For more information,
* see Session
* Policies in the IAM User Guide. To assume a role from a
* different account, your AWS account must be trusted by the role. The trust
* relationship is defined in the role's trust policy when the role is created.
* That trust policy states which accounts are allowed to delegate that access to
* users in the account. A user who wants to access a role in a different
* account must also have permissions that are delegated from the user account
* administrator. The administrator must attach a policy that allows the user to
* call Attach a policy to the user (identical to the
* previous user in a different account). Add the user as a
* principal directly in the role's trust policy. In this case,
* the trust policy acts as an IAM resource-based policy. Users in the same account
* as the role do not need explicit permission to assume the role. For more
* information about trust policies and resource-based policies, see IAM
* Policies in the IAM User Guide. Tags (Optional) You can pass tag key-value pairs to your session. These tags are
* called session tags. For more information about session tags, see Passing
* Session Tags in STS in the IAM User Guide. An administrator
* must grant you the permissions necessary to pass session tags. The administrator
* can also create granular permissions to allow you to pass only specific session
* tags. For more information, see Tutorial:
* Using Tags for Attribute-Based Access Control in the IAM User
* Guide. You can set the session tags as transitive. Transitive tags
* persist during role chaining. For more information, see Chaining
* Roles with Session Tags in the IAM User Guide. Using MFA

* instead of the global endpoint to reduce latency, build in redundancy, and
* increase session token validity. For more information, see Managing
* AWS STS in an AWS Region in the IAM User Guide.https://sts.amazonaws.com.https://sts.amazonaws.com. Calls to this
* endpoint are logged as calls to a global service. However, because this endpoint
* is physically located in the US East (N. Virginia) Region, your logs list
* us-east-1 as the event Region. CloudTrail does not write these logs
* to the US East (Ohio) Region unless you choose to include global service logs in
* that Region. CloudTrail writes calls to all Regional endpoints to their
* respective Regions. For example, calls to sts.us-east-2.amazonaws.com are
* published to the US East (Ohio) Region and calls to
* sts.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com are published to the EU (Frankfurt) Region.AssumeRole within your account or for
* cross-account access. For a comparison of AssumeRole with other API

* hours. To learn how to view the maximum value for your role, see View
* the Maximum Session Duration Setting for a Role in the IAM User
* Guide. The maximum session duration limit applies when you use the
* AssumeRole* API operations or the assume-role* CLI
* commands. However the limit does not apply when you use those operations to

Permissions
*The temporary security credentials created by AssumeRoleWithSAML
* can be used to make API calls to any AWS service with the following exception:
* you cannot call the STS GetFederationToken or
* GetSessionToken API operations.
(Optional) You can pass * inline or managed session * policies to this operation. You can pass a single JSON policy document to * use as an inline session policy. You can also specify up to 10 managed policies * to use as managed session policies. The plain text that you use for both inline * and managed session policies can't exceed 2,048 characters. Passing policies to * this operation returns new temporary credentials. The resulting session's * permissions are the intersection of the role's identity-based policy and the * session policies. You can use the role's temporary credentials in subsequent AWS * API calls to access resources in the account that owns the role. You cannot use * session policies to grant more permissions than those allowed by the * identity-based policy of the role that is being assumed. For more information, * see Session * Policies in the IAM User Guide.
Calling
* AssumeRoleWithSAML does not require the use of AWS security
* credentials. The identity of the caller is validated by using keys in the
* metadata document that is uploaded for the SAML provider entity for your
* identity provider.
Calling AssumeRoleWithSAML
* can result in an entry in your AWS CloudTrail logs. The entry includes the value
* in the NameID element of the SAML assertion. We recommend that you
* use a NameIDType that is not associated with any personally
* identifiable information (PII). For example, you could instead use the
* persistent identifier
* (urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent).
Tags
(Optional) You can configure your IdP to * pass attributes into your SAML assertion as session tags. Each session tag * consists of a key name and an associated value. For more information about * session tags, see Passing * Session Tags in STS in the IAM User Guide.
You can pass up to * 50 session tags. The plain text session tag keys can’t exceed 128 characters and * the values can’t exceed 256 characters. For these and additional limits, see IAM * and STS Character Limits in the IAM User Guide.
An AWS
* conversion compresses the passed session policies and session tags into a packed
* binary format that has a separate limit. Your request can fail for this limit
* even if your plain text meets the other requirements. The
* PackedPolicySize response element indicates by percentage how close
* the policies and tags for your request are to the upper size limit.
You can pass a session tag with the same key as a tag that is attached to the * role. When you do, session tags override the role's tags with the same key.
*An administrator must grant you the permissions necessary to pass session * tags. The administrator can also create granular permissions to allow you to * pass only specific session tags. For more information, see Tutorial: * Using Tags for Attribute-Based Access Control in the IAM User * Guide.
You can set the session tags as transitive. Transitive tags * persist during role chaining. For more information, see Chaining * Roles with Session Tags in the IAM User Guide.
SAML * Configuration
Before your application can call
* AssumeRoleWithSAML, you must configure your SAML identity provider
* (IdP) to issue the claims required by AWS. Additionally, you must use AWS
* Identity and Access Management (IAM) to create a SAML provider entity in your
* AWS account that represents your identity provider. You must also create an IAM
* role that specifies this SAML provider in its trust policy.
For more * information, see the following resources:
About * SAML 2.0-based Federation in the IAM User Guide.
* Creating * SAML Identity Providers in the IAM User Guide.

* Creating * a Role for SAML 2.0 Federation in the IAM User Guide.
Returns a set of temporary security credentials for users who have been * authenticated in a mobile or web application with a web identity provider. * Example providers include Amazon Cognito, Login with Amazon, Facebook, Google, * or any OpenID Connect-compatible identity provider.
For mobile * applications, we recommend that you use Amazon Cognito. You can use Amazon * Cognito with the AWS SDK for iOS * Developer Guide and the AWS * SDK for Android Developer Guide to uniquely identify a user. You can also * supply the user with a consistent identity throughout the lifetime of an * application.
To learn more about Amazon Cognito, see Amazon * Cognito Overview in AWS SDK for Android Developer Guide and Amazon * Cognito Overview in the AWS SDK for iOS Developer Guide.
*Calling AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity does not require the use of
* AWS security credentials. Therefore, you can distribute an application (for
* example, on mobile devices) that requests temporary security credentials without
* including long-term AWS credentials in the application. You also don't need to
* deploy server-based proxy services that use long-term AWS credentials. Instead,
* the identity of the caller is validated by using a token from the web identity
* provider. For a comparison of AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity with the
* other API operations that produce temporary credentials, see Requesting
* Temporary Security Credentials and Comparing
* the AWS STS API operations in the IAM User Guide.
The * temporary security credentials returned by this API consist of an access key ID, * a secret access key, and a security token. Applications can use these temporary * security credentials to sign calls to AWS service API operations.
* Session Duration
By default, the temporary security credentials
* created by AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity last for one hour. However,

* API operations that produce temporary credentials, see Requesting
* Temporary Security Credentials and Comparing
* the AWS STS API operations in the IAM User Guide.
You
* can create a mobile-based or browser-based app that can authenticate users using
* a web identity provider like Login with Amazon, Facebook, Google, or an OpenID
* Connect-compatible identity provider. In this case, we recommend that you use Amazon Cognito or
* AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity. For more information, see Federation
* Through a Web-based Identity Provider in the IAM User Guide.
You can also call GetFederationToken using the security
* credentials of an AWS account root user, but we do not recommend it. Instead, we
* recommend that you create an IAM user for the purpose of the proxy application.
* Then attach a policy to the IAM user that limits federated users to only the
* actions and resources that they need to access. For more information, see IAM
* Best Practices in the IAM User Guide.
Session * duration
The temporary credentials are valid for the specified * duration, from 900 seconds (15 minutes) up to a maximum of 129,600 seconds (36 * hours). The default session duration is 43,200 seconds (12 hours). Temporary * credentials that are obtained by using AWS account root user credentials have a * maximum duration of 3,600 seconds (1 hour).
Permissions
*You can use the temporary credentials created by
* GetFederationToken in any AWS service except the following:
You cannot call any IAM operations using the AWS CLI or the AWS * API.
You cannot call any STS operations except
* GetCallerIdentity.
You must pass an inline or * managed session * policy to this operation. You can pass a single JSON policy document to use * as an inline session policy. You can also specify up to 10 managed policies to * use as managed session policies. The plain text that you use for both inline and * managed session policies can't exceed 2,048 characters.
Though the
* session policy parameters are optional, if you do not pass a policy, then the
* resulting federated user session has no permissions. When you pass session
* policies, the session permissions are the intersection of the IAM user policies
* and the session policies that you pass. This gives you a way to further restrict
* the permissions for a federated user. You cannot use session policies to grant
* more permissions than those that are defined in the permissions policy of the
* IAM user. For more information, see Session
* Policies in the IAM User Guide. For information about using
* GetFederationToken to create temporary security credentials, see GetFederationToken—Federation
* Through a Custom Identity Broker.
You can use the credentials to
* access a resource that has a resource-based policy. If that policy specifically
* references the federated user session in the Principal element of
* the policy, the session has the permissions allowed by the policy. These
* permissions are granted in addition to the permissions granted by the session
* policies.
Tags
(Optional) You can pass tag key-value * pairs to your session. These are called session tags. For more information about * session tags, see Passing * Session Tags in STS in the IAM User Guide.
An administrator * must grant you the permissions necessary to pass session tags. The administrator * can also create granular permissions to allow you to pass only specific session * tags. For more information, see Tutorial: * Using Tags for Attribute-Based Access Control in the IAM User * Guide.
Tag key–value pairs are not case sensitive, but case is
* preserved. This means that you cannot have separate Department and
* department tag keys. Assume that the user that you are federating
* has the Department=Marketing tag and you pass the
* department=engineering session tag.
* Department and department are not saved as separate
* tags, and the session tag passed in the request takes precedence over the user
* tag.
Returns a set of temporary security credentials (consisting of an access key
* ID, a secret access key, and a security token) for a federated user. A typical
* use is in a proxy application that gets temporary security credentials on behalf
* of distributed applications inside a corporate network. You must call the
* GetFederationToken operation using the long-term security
* credentials of an IAM user. As a result, this call is appropriate in contexts
* where those credentials can be safely stored, usually in a server-based
* application. For a comparison of GetFederationToken with the other
* API operations that produce temporary credentials, see Requesting

Returns a set of temporary credentials for an AWS account or IAM user. The
* credentials consist of an access key ID, a secret access key, and a security
* token. Typically, you use GetSessionToken if you want to use MFA to
* protect programmatic calls to specific AWS API operations like Amazon EC2
* StopInstances. MFA-enabled IAM users would need to call
* GetSessionToken and submit an MFA code that is associated with
* their MFA device. Using the temporary security credentials that are returned

* require MFA authentication. If you do not supply a correct MFA code, then the
* API returns an access denied error. For a comparison of
* GetSessionToken with the other API operations that produce
* temporary credentials, see Requesting
* Temporary Security Credentials and Comparing
* the AWS STS API operations in the IAM User Guide.
Session * Duration
The GetSessionToken operation must be called
* by using the long-term AWS security credentials of the AWS account root user or
* an IAM user. Credentials that are created by IAM users are valid for the
* duration that you specify. This duration can range from 900 seconds (15 minutes)
* up to a maximum of 129,600 seconds (36 hours), with a default of 43,200 seconds
* (12 hours). Credentials based on account credentials can range from 900 seconds
* (15 minutes) up to 3,600 seconds (1 hour), with a default of 1 hour.
* Permissions
The temporary security credentials created by
* GetSessionToken can be used to make API calls to any AWS service
* with the following exceptions:
You cannot call any IAM API * operations unless MFA authentication information is included in the request.
*You cannot call any STS API except AssumeRole
* or GetCallerIdentity.
We recommend that
* you do not call GetSessionToken with AWS account root user
* credentials. Instead, follow our best
* practices by creating one or more IAM users, giving them the necessary
* permissions, and using IAM users for everyday interaction with AWS.
The credentials that are returned by GetSessionToken are based
* on permissions associated with the user whose credentials were used to call the
* operation. If GetSessionToken is called using AWS account root user
* credentials, the temporary credentials have root user permissions. Similarly, if
* GetSessionToken is called using the credentials of an IAM user, the
* temporary credentials have the same permissions as the IAM user.
