Does AWS support OpenID?
Today, I’m happy to announce that AWS now supports OpenID Connect (OIDC), an open standard that enables app developers to leverage additional identity providers for authentication. Now you can use Amazon Cognito to easily build AWS-powered apps that use identities from any provider that supports this industry standard.

What is OIDC in Kubernetes?
OIDC can manage users and groups, which works very well with the Kubernetes RBAC to provide very granular control of who can access what inside a cluster. With an OIDC integration, you can use the same OIDC provider used for SSO in your existing infrastructure to access your Kubernetes cluster, like Okta or Keycloak.
Can Cognito be an OIDC provider?
We’ve seen how Cognito user pool can be used as an OIDC provider as well as how we can use this concept to associate two user pools together. If you want to integrate your user pool with another service, you can use the same endpoints provided on this post.
Is OIDC more secure than SAML?
Most security flaws don’t stem from intrinsic problems in any of the two standards, but instead, are caused by implementation mistakes. However, it can be argued that since SAML is a lot harder to implement than OIDC, it’s also more prone to implementation errors.

What is OIDC proxy?

Is AWS Cognito an IdP?
Currenlty, Cognito is an OIDC IdP and not a SAML IdP. If an application supports OIDC, you can use Cognito to connect to that. We will consider your request for future releases. even in 2021 AWS is still not supporting SAML IdP use-case.
Is OIDC the same as OAuth?
The OpenID Connect flow looks the same as OAuth. The only differences are, in the initial request, a specific scope of openid is used, and in the final exchange the Client receives both an Access Token and an ID Token.
