Managing custom authorizers - Amazon IoT Core
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Managing custom authorizers

You can manage your authorizers by using the following APIs.

  • ListAuthorizers: Show all authorizers in your account.

  • DescribeAuthorizer: Displays properties of the specified authorizer. These values include creation date, last modified date, and other attributes.

  • SetDefaultAuthorizer: Specifies the default authorizer for your Amazon IoT Core data endpoints. Amazon IoT Core uses this authorizer if a device doesn't pass Amazon IoT Core credentials and doesn't specify an authorizer. For more information about using Amazon IoT Core credentials, see Client authentication.

  • UpdateAuthorizer:  Changes the status, token key name, or public keys for the specified authorizer.

  • DeleteAuthorizer: Deletes the specified authorizer.

Note

You can't update an authorizer's signing requirement. This means that you can't disable signing in an existing authorizer that requires it. You also can't require signing in an existing authorizer that doesn't require it.
