The <code>ProviderAttributeValue</code> for the user must be the same value as the <code>id</code>, <code>sub</code>, or <code>user_id</code> value found in the social IdP token.</p> <p/> <p>For OIDC, the <code>ProviderAttributeName</code> can be any value that matches a claim in the ID token, or that your app retrieves from the <code>userInfo</code> endpoint. You must map the claim to a user pool attribute in your IdP configuration, and set the user pool attribute name as the value of <code>ProviderAttributeName</code> in your <code>AdminLinkProviderForUser</code> request.</p> <p>For SAML, the <code>ProviderAttributeName</code> can be any value that matches a claim in the SAML assertion. To link SAML users based on the subject of the SAML assertion, map the subject to a claim through the SAML IdP and set that claim name as the value of <code>ProviderAttributeName</code> in your <code>AdminLinkProviderForUser</code> request.</p> <p>For both OIDC and SAML users, when you set <code>ProviderAttributeName</code> to <code>Cognito_Subject</code>, Amazon Cognito will automatically parse the default unique identifier found in the subject from the IdP token.</p>"
