PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud

AWS Bedrock AgentCore

The Amazon Bedrock AgentCore application discovers and governs AI agents created in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.

Prerequisites in Advanced Identity Cloud

Before using the AWS Bedrock AgentCore application, ensure you’ve taken these actions:

  • Purchased the Agent Governance add-on capability for Advanced Identity Cloud.

  • Modified the user managed object with a custom_iga_identity_type property in the Alpha realm. Learn more in Create the identity type.

  • Obtained the AWS Bedrock AgentCore connector JAR file. This isn’t available to download from Backstage yet, but is available from your Ping Identity representative.

Prerequisites in AWS Bedrock AgentCore

Create an IAM access policy

The AWS Bedrock AgentCore application needs read permissions for Bedrock AgentCore.

  1. In the AWS console, go to IAM > Policies > Create policy.

  2. On the JSON tab, paste a policy similar to the following:

    {
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "BedrockAgentCoreConnectorReadOnly",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [ (1)
        "bedrock-agentcore:ListAgentRuntimes",
        "bedrock-agentcore:GetAgentRuntime",
        "bedrock-agentcore:GetAgentRuntimeEndpoint",
        "bedrock-agentcore:GetResourcePolicy"
      ],
      "Resource": "*" (2)
    }
  ]
}
    1 Note that the policy is read-only and doesn’t allow any modifications to Bedrock AgentCore agents.
    2 ListAgentRuntimes requires Resource: "*". The other read actions can be scoped to AgentCore runtime ARNs if your AWS environment supports the narrower resource policy.

  3. Select Next.

  4. Name the policy iga-bedrock-agentcore-application-policy, then select Create policy.

Create an IAM user for explicit credentials

Choose one of the following options:

  • If you intend to use the default credentials provider to access AWS Bedrock AgentCore, you don’t need to create an IAM user and can skip to the next section.

  • If you intend to use explicit credentials to access AWS Bedrock AgentCore, create an IAM user using these steps:

    1. In the AWS console, go to IAM > Users > Create user.

    2. Enter a username, for example iga-bedrock-agentcore-application.

    3. Select Next.

    4. Under Set permissions, choose Attach policies directly.

    5. Search for iga-bedrock-agentcore-application-policy, select it, then select Next > Create user.

    6. Open the user, then select the Security credentials tab.

    7. Select Create access key.

    8. For Use case, select Application running outside AWS, then select Next.

    9. Copy the access key ID and secret access key. You’ll need these for the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key application properties.

Register the application

  1. In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console, go to apps Applications, and click grid_view Browse App Catalog.

  2. In the Browse App Catalog modal, select an application, and click Next.

  3. Review the Application Integration information, and click Next.

  4. In the Application Details window, specify the name, description, application owners, and logo for the application.

  5. Leave the Authoritative checkbox unselected.

  6. Click Create Application.

Configure the provisioner

  1. In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console, go to apps Applications.

  2. Click the application you just registered to open the application details page.

  3. Click the Provisioning tab, then compare the message displayed with these options:

    • You haven’t set up provisioning yet
      This message indicates that Advanced Identity Cloud has found a connector server with a compatible connector installed, but you haven’t set up provisioning yet. In this case, click Set up Provisioning to set up provisioning for the application.

    • No Connector Servers available
      This message indicates that Advanced Identity Cloud either can’t find a connector server to use for provisioning or that it can find a connector server but it doesn’t have a compatible connector installed for this application.

      Show guidance

      • If you haven’t set up a connector server:

        1. Register a remote server

        2. (Optional) Reset the client secret

        3. Download a remote server

        4. Add the AWS Bedrock AgentCore connector JAR file to the remote server’s connectors folder.

        5. Configure the remote server

        6. Refresh the AWS Bedrock AgentCore application page in your browser, then begin step 3 again.

      • If you’ve already set up a connector server:

        1. Add the AWS Bedrock AgentCore connector JAR file to the remote server’s connectors folder, then restart the connector server.

        2. Refresh the AWS Bedrock AgentCore application page in your browser, then begin step 3 again.

  4. In the Connect to AWS Bedrock AgentCore modal, enter the following information:

    • Region: Enter your AWS region. For example, enter us-east-1.

    • Use Default Credentials Provider: Enable to use the default AWS credentials chain, or disable to enter an access key ID and secret access key.

    • Access Key ID (optional): If you disabled the default credentials provider, enter your AWS access key ID. For example, AMZ4XF91LDHBOGFEQYKW.

    • Secret Access Key (optional): If you disabled the default credentials provider, enter your AWS secret access key.

  5. (Optional) Click Show advanced settings to set any of the following options:
