Question

Does Appian supports authentication through AWS Cognito?

Dear all,

Imagine that I have a Cognito pool with identities. I would like to ask if there is a chance to expose a link to Appian login page and authenticate users through AWS Cognito?

Could someone give me directions if Appian supports an authentication flow through Cognito? Did anyone accomplish that?

Regards,

Dimitrios

Cognito seems to support SAML, so I'd say yes.

I do think it may be possible using OIDC but not sure about SAML.

Amazon Cognito can federate with SAML IdPs, but I don't think it can act as a SAML identity provider itself.

[mention:d6578db692cb4e11b74282b693430731:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] I am currently working with a client who is also planning to use AWS Cognito as their IDP. Was wondering if you ended up implementing this successfully on your end?
