AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question
Your development team is creating a web application that should allow users to authenticate using their corporate Active Directory credentials. The team has decided to employ Amazon Cognito to facilitate this process. Which combination of Amazon Cognito features should be used to integrate the corporate Active Directory and provide authenticated user sessions?
Configure AWS Directory Service with Amazon Cognito User Pools
Combine Amazon Cognito Identity Pools with SAML based federation
Integrate AWS IAM Identity Center with Amazon Cognito User Pools
Use Amazon Cognito User Pools with corporate Active Directory as a custom identity provider
To integrate corporate Active Directory with Amazon Cognito and provide authenticated sessions, the team should set up an Amazon Cognito Identity Pool with SAML-based federation. Identity Pools support federating users from external identity providers through SAML 2.0, which is typically used for enterprise identity federation. Additionally, Amazon Cognito User Pools would be necessary if the team requires a user directory to manage user profiles. However, the integration of User Pools alone would not suffice for federating with Active Directory. IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO) is for centralizing user access to AWS accounts and business applications, which is not the requirement here. AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, also known as AWS Managed Microsoft AD, is not appropriate in this situation since it is used to run Microsoft Active Directory on AWS, and not for integrating web application sign-in directly.
