Important Considerations
- Amazon IAM accepts SSO based on roles. Enabling SSO for Amazon AWS (IAM) in this way will allow any user in your organization to access Amazon AWS GovCloud (IAM). Multiple Roles may be defined as detailed below.
- This connector supports additional Constant Attributes that are sent in the assertion. E.g., Amazon supports in order to allow up to 12 hour sessions before logout. By default, the connector template contains this additional attribute where the Name is https://aws.amazon.com/SAML/Attributes/SessionDuration and the Value in seconds must be between 15 minutes and 12 hours; e.g., for 15 minutes, enter a value of 900.
