Hello
When I search AWS in the Okta Application > Catalog there are two apps searched.
1. AWS IAM Identity Center
2. AWS Account Federation
according to okta overview
1. AWS IAM Identity Center
- SAML, SCIM, Workflow Templates, Workflows Connectors
- Create, Update, Deactivate, Group Linking, Group Push.
2. AWS Account Federation
- SAML, SWA, SCIM
- Create, Update
Here is what I want to know that why okta provide two different app for AWS intergration.
AWS Account Federation support more less functionality then AWS IAM Identity Center.
Maybe is it difference because OKTA classic engine / Okta Identity Engine
Please let me know if there is any difference other than the functions of the two apps
Hi @User16327234205232595235 (Customer) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
AWS Identity Center is the successor to AWS SSO which was the successor to AWS federated users authentications which were based on the AWS CLI. It provides a single way to manage access to the enabled applications centrally:
AWS Account Federation is there for people that already had an integration before the improvements.
If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
Hope my answer helps!
