Hi,

 

Do you mean AWS Cognito ? As per my information there is no out of the box solution , however you can build your own . Below is a nice documentation for google OAuth, Facebook etc .

 

https://github.com/Erwin-t-Hoen/Open-Authentication-Module/blob/master/Implement%20other%20OAuth%20Providers%20v1.2.pdf

 

Hope this helps .Let me know how it goes.

 

Best

Hi Harshraj,

 

Did some research and found out that for SAML you will still need some social idP like facebook,google etc .

as Currently, Cognito is an OIDC IdP and not a SAML IdP. If an application supports OIDC, you can use Cognito to connect to that.

This is an old thread so you can check for latest information .

 

Also please note that Mendix also support OIDC SSO so you can check this module https://marketplace.mendix.com/link/component/120371

However as per documentation it has not been tested with AWS Cognito , Maybe you have to modify in order to fit your current requirement.

You can also go through https://academy.mendix.com/link/paths/37/Configure-Security-and-Access-Management This may help in understanding the context more.

 

Thanks
