createUserPoolDomain

A user pool domain hosts managed login, an authorization server and web server for authentication in your application. This operation creates a new user pool prefix domain or custom domain and sets the managed login branding version. Set the branding version to 1 for hosted UI (classic) or 2 for managed login. When you choose a custom domain, you must provide an SSL certificate in the US East (N. Virginia) Amazon Web Services Region in your request.

Your prefix domain might take up to one minute to take effect. Your custom domain is online within five minutes, but it can take up to one hour to distribute your SSL certificate.

For more information about adding a custom domain to your user pool, see Configuring a user pool domain.

Amazon Cognito evaluates Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you must use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you must grant yourself the corresponding IAM permission in a policy.
