Where is Identity Pool
in Cognito Console
. In the docs mentioned:
IdentityPoolId
An identity pool ID in the format REGION:GUID.
But I see only Pool Id
and Pool ARN
in the console. Which have different formats.
A user pool is a user directory in Amazon Cognito. With a user pool, your users can sign in to your web or mobile app through Amazon Cognito. Your users can also sign in through social identity providers like Google, Facebook, Amazon, or Apple, and through SAML identity providers.
An identity pool is a store of user identity data specific to your account. To create a new identity pool in the console. Sign in to the Amazon Cognito console , choose Manage identity pools, and then choose Create new identity pool.
They are not secret. In fact, the ID token contains the iss claim (property), which is the User Pool ID, and the aud claim, which is the App Client ID.
I can manage to get the IdentityPooId
by aws cli:
aws cognito-identity list-identity-pools --max-results 10
The command returns all of the Cognito identity pools registered for your account.
{ "IdentityPools": [ { "IdentityPoolId": "XX-XXXX-X:XXXXXXXX-XXXX-1234-abcd-1234567890ab", "IdentityPoolName": "<some custom name>" } ] }
You can find Identity pool ID
if you select Manage Federated Identities
on the page https://eu-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com/cognito/home?region=eu-west-1 and create an Federated Identity.
