The following code examples show how to use CreateUserPoolClient.

CLI
Amazon CLI

To create a user pool client

This example creates a new user pool client with two explicit authorization flows: USER_PASSWORD_AUTH and ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH.

Command:

aws cognito-idp create-user-pool-client --user-pool-id us-west-2_aaaaaaaaa --client-name MyNewClient --no-generate-secret --explicit-auth-flows "USER_PASSWORD_AUTH" "ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH"

Output:

{ "UserPoolClient": { "UserPoolId": "us-west-2_aaaaaaaaa", "ClientName": "MyNewClient", "ClientId": "6p3bs000no6a4ue1idruvd05ad", "LastModifiedDate": 1548697449.497, "CreationDate": 1548697449.497, "RefreshTokenValidity": 30, "ExplicitAuthFlows": [ "USER_PASSWORD_AUTH", "ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH" ], "AllowedOAuthFlowsUserPoolClient": false } }
