Authorizer - Amazon API Gateway (original) (raw)
Represents an authorization layer for methods. If enabled on a method, API Gateway will activate the authorizer when a client calls the method.
Contents
authorizerCredentials
Specifies the required credentials as an IAM role for API Gateway to invoke the authorizer. To specify an IAM role for API Gateway to assume, use the role's Amazon Resource Name (ARN). To use resource-based permissions on the Lambda function, specify null.
Type: String
Required: No
authorizerResultTtlInSeconds
The TTL in seconds of cached authorizer results. If it equals 0, authorization caching is disabled. If it is greater than 0, API Gateway will cache authorizer responses. If this field is not set, the default value is 300. The maximum value is 3600, or 1 hour.
Type: Integer
Required: No
authorizerUri
Specifies the authorizer's Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). For TOKEN
or REQUEST
authorizers, this must be a well-formed Lambda function URI, for example, arn:aws:apigateway:us-west-2:lambda:path/2015-03-31/functions/arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:{account_id}:function:{lambda_function_name}/invocations
. In general, the URI has this form arn:aws:apigateway:{region}:lambda:path/{service_api}
, where {region}
is the same as the region hosting the Lambda function, path
indicates that the remaining substring in the URI should be treated as the path to the resource, including the initial /
. For Lambda functions, this is usually of the form /2015-03-31/functions/[FunctionARN]/invocations
.
Type: String
Required: No
authType
Optional customer-defined field, used in OpenAPI imports and exports without functional impact.
Type: String
Required: No
id
The identifier for the authorizer resource.
Type: String
Required: No
identitySource
The identity source for which authorization is requested. For a TOKEN
orCOGNITO_USER_POOLS
authorizer, this is required and specifies the request header mapping expression for the custom header holding the authorization token submitted by the client. For example, if the token header name is Auth
, the header mapping expression ismethod.request.header.Auth
. For the REQUEST
authorizer, this is required when authorization caching is enabled. The value is a comma-separated string of one or more mapping expressions of the specified request parameters. For example, if an Auth
header, a Name
query string parameter are defined as identity sources, this value is method.request.header.Auth
,method.request.querystring.Name
. These parameters will be used to derive the authorization caching key and to perform runtime validation of the REQUEST
authorizer by verifying all of the identity-related request parameters are present, not null and non-empty. Only when this is true does the authorizer invoke the authorizer Lambda function, otherwise, it returns a 401 Unauthorized response without calling the Lambda function. The valid value is a string of comma-separated mapping expressions of the specified request parameters. When the authorization caching is not enabled, this property is optional.
Type: String
Required: No
identityValidationExpression
A validation expression for the incoming identity token. For TOKEN
authorizers, this value is a regular expression. For COGNITO_USER_POOLS
authorizers, API Gateway will match the aud
field of the incoming token from the client against the specified regular expression. It will invoke the authorizer's Lambda function when there is a match. Otherwise, it will return a 401 Unauthorized response without calling the Lambda function. The validation expression does not apply to the REQUEST
authorizer.
Type: String
Required: No
name
The name of the authorizer.
Type: String
Required: No
providerARNs
A list of the Amazon Cognito user pool ARNs for the COGNITO_USER_POOLS
authorizer. Each element is of this format: arn:aws:cognito-idp:{region}:{account_id}:userpool/{user_pool_id}
. For a TOKEN
or REQUEST
authorizer, this is not defined.
Type: Array of strings
Required: No
type
The authorizer type. Valid values are TOKEN
for a Lambda function using a single authorization token submitted in a custom header, REQUEST
for a Lambda function using incoming request parameters, and COGNITO_USER_POOLS
for using an Amazon Cognito user pool.
Type: String
Valid Values: TOKEN | REQUEST | COGNITO_USER_POOLS
Required: No
