Create Federation Issuer

$ ant beta:organization:federation:issuers create
POST/v1/organizations/federation_issuers

Requires an OAuth access token with the org:admin scope, from ant auth login --scope org:admin or a workload identity federation rule; Admin API keys are not accepted. See Manage WIF with the Admin API.

Register an OIDC issuer that Anthropic will trust for workload identity federation in your organization.

The jwks field controls how the issuer's signing keys are obtained and takes one of three shapes selected by type: discovery (resolve keys through OIDC discovery), explicit_url (fetch keys from a fixed JWKS URL), or inline (provide a static key set). When jwks.type is discovery and no discovery_base is set, the issuer URL must be publicly reachable over HTTPS so Anthropic can fetch the discovery document; for explicit_url and inline modes the issuer URL is only matched as the JWT's iss claim and is not fetched.

Parameters
--issuer-url: string

Body param: The iss claim value to match against.

minLength1
--name: string

Body param: Slug identifier (lowercase, digits, hyphens). Unique within the organization; a duplicate name returns 409.

maxLength255
minLength1
--check-jti: optional boolean

Body param: Whether the jwt-bearer exchange enforces JTI single-use (replay protection) for tokens from this issuer. Defaults to true. Applies only to assertions carrying a jti claim; tokens without one are accepted without single-use enforcement.

--jwks: optional BetaJWKSDiscovery { type, ca_cert_pem, discovery_base } or BetaJWKSExplicitURL { type, url, ca_cert_pem } or BetaJWKSInline { keys, type }

Body param: How signing keys are obtained. Defaults to OIDC discovery.

--max-jwt-lifetime-seconds: optional number

Body param: Maximum allowed iat→exp spread for assertions from this issuer (1-176400 seconds, i.e. up to 49h). Defaults to 3600 (1h). Assertions must carry both iat and exp; a missing iat is rejected.

maximum176400
exclusiveMinimum0
--beta: optional array of AnthropicBeta

Header param: Optional header to specify the beta version(s) you want to use.

Returns
beta_federation_issuer: object{ id, archived_at, archived_by_actor_id, 12 more }

Registered external OIDC identity provider.

Records an external IdP the organization trusts for the RFC 7523 jwt-bearer grant. The issuer_url must match the JWT iss claim exactly.

id: string

Tagged ID of the federation issuer.

archived_at: string

If set, all rules referencing this issuer reject token exchange.

formatdate-time
archived_by_actor_id: string

Tagged ID (user_/svac_) of the actor that archived this issuer.

check_jti: boolean

Whether the jwt-bearer exchange enforces JTI single-use (replay protection) for tokens from this issuer. Applies only to assertions carrying a jti claim; tokens without one are accepted without single-use enforcement.

created_at: string

When this issuer was created.

formatdate-time
created_by_actor_id: string

Tagged ID (user_/svac_) of the actor that created this issuer.

issuer_url: string

The iss claim value. Incoming JWTs must match exactly.

jwks: BetaJWKSDiscovery { type, ca_cert_pem, discovery_base } or BetaJWKSExplicitURL { type, url, ca_cert_pem } or BetaJWKSInline { keys, type }

How signing keys are obtained for signature verification.

One of the following:
beta_jwks_discovery: object{ type, ca_cert_pem, discovery_base }

JWKS via the issuer's OIDC discovery document.

type: "discovery"
ca_cert_pem: optional string

Optional custom CA (PEM) for TLS verification of the JWKS fetch.

maxLength8192
discovery_base: optional string

Set when the discovery URL differs from issuer_url.

beta_jwks_explicit_url: object{ type, url, ca_cert_pem }

JWKS fetched from a fixed endpoint.

type: "explicit_url"
url: string

JWKS endpoint.

minLength1
ca_cert_pem: optional string

Optional custom CA (PEM) for TLS verification of the JWKS fetch.

maxLength8192
beta_jwks_inline: object{ keys, type }

JWKS supplied directly; no network fetch.

keys: array of map[unknown]

Inline JWK objects.

minItems1
type: "inline"
jwks_polling_disabled_at: string

If set, Anthropic's JWKS poller has paused polling for this issuer after repeated fetch failures. Re-enable by sending jwks_polling_disabled: false via the issuer update endpoint (POST) once the upstream JWKS endpoint is fixed. An OAuth caller cannot send this when the issuer backs a rule with any scope other than workspace:developer or workspace:inference; use a Console session.

formatdate-time
max_jwt_lifetime_seconds: number

Maximum allowed iat→exp spread for assertions from this issuer (1-176400 seconds, i.e. up to 49h). Assertions must carry both iat and exp; a missing iat is rejected.

name: string

Admin-chosen slug identifier.

poll_status: object{ consecutive_failures, last_fetched_at, next_poll_at }

Status of automatic JWKS polling for a federation issuer.

Anthropic periodically fetches the issuer's signing keys in the background. These fields summarize the most recent fetches so the health of the JWKS endpoint can be monitored.

consecutive_failures: number

Consecutive fetch failures since the last success.

last_fetched_at: string

When the last successful fetch completed.

formatdate-time
next_poll_at: string

When the next fetch is scheduled. Null if paused.

formatdate-time
type: "federation_issuer"
updated_at: string

When this issuer was last updated.

formatdate-time
updated_by_actor_id: string

Tagged ID (user_/svac_) of the actor that last updated this issuer.
