CreateIdentityProvider

POST {{baseUrl}}/identityProviders/

Deprecated. For more information, see Deprecated IAM Service APIs.

Creates a new identity provider in your tenancy. For more information, see Identity Providers and Federation.

You must specify your tenancy's OCID as the compartment ID in the request object. Remember that the tenancy is simply the root compartment. For information about OCIDs, see Resource Identifiers.

You must also specify a name for the IdentityProvider, which must be unique across all IdentityProvider objects in your tenancy and cannot be changed.

You must also specify a description for the IdentityProvider (although it can be an empty string). It does not have to be unique, and you can change it anytime with UpdateIdentityProvider.

After you send your request, the new object's lifecycleState will temporarily be CREATING. Before using the object, first make sure its lifecycleState has changed to ACTIVE.

has been deleted and purged from the system, then a retry of the original creation request
may be rejected).
