IDENTITY POOL BRIDGING FOR MANAGED DIRECTORY SERVICES

摘要

A customer of a computing resource service provider may utilize a set of credentials to request creation of an identity pool within a managed directory service. Accordingly, the managed directory service may create the identity pool. Instead of having the customer create a separate account within this identity pool, the managed directory service may create a shadow administrator account within the identity pool, which may be used to manage other users and resources in the identity pool within the managed directory service. The managed directory service further exposes an application programming interface command that may be used to obtain a set of credentials for accessing the shadow administrator account. The customer may use this command to receive the set of credentials and access the shadow administrator account. Accordingly, the customer can manage users and resources in the identity pool within the managed directory service.
