# Amazon Login Integration Kit

The Amazon Login Integration Kit (formerly the Amazon Cloud Identity Connector) allows PingFederate to use Amazon as an identity provider (IdP) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>A service that manages identity information and provides authentication services to relying clients or SPs within a federated or distributed network.\</p>
\</div>)*. This allows users to access service provider (SP) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>In SAML, an entity that receives and accepts an authentication assertion issued by an IdP, typically for the purpose of allowing access to a protected resource.\</p>
\</div>)* applications by signing on to Amazon.

## Features

* Supports the [PingFederate authentication API](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/developers_reference_guide/pf_authentication_api.html).

* Supports the [JavaScript Widget for the PingFederate Authentication API](https://github.com/pingidentity/pf-authn-js-widget).

## Components

* Amazon IdP Adapter

  * Allows PingFederate to communicate with the Amazon API to process sign-on requests and get user information.
