# Create Federation Issuer

**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](/docs/en/manage-claude/wif-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.

## Body parameters

- `issuer_url: string`

  The `iss` claim value to match against.

  minLength: 1

- `name: string`

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

  maxLength: 255, minLength: 1

- `check_jti: optional boolean or null`

  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 or BetaJWKSExplicitURL or BetaJWKSInline`

  How signing keys are obtained. Defaults to OIDC discovery.

  - `BetaJWKSDiscovery object`

    JWKS via the issuer's OIDC discovery document.

    - `type: "discovery"`

    - `ca_cert_pem: optional string or null`

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

      maxLength: 8192

    - `discovery_base: optional string or null`

      Set when the discovery URL differs from `issuer_url`.

  - `BetaJWKSExplicitURL object`

    JWKS fetched from a fixed endpoint.

    - `type: "explicit_url"`

    - `url: string`

      JWKS endpoint.

      minLength: 1

    - `ca_cert_pem: optional string or null`

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

      maxLength: 8192

  - `BetaJWKSInline object`

    JWKS supplied directly; no network fetch.

    - `keys: array of map[unknown]`

      Inline JWK objects.

      minItems: 1

    - `type: "inline"`

- `max_jwt_lifetime_seconds: optional number or null`

  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.

  maximum: 176400, exclusiveMinimum: 0

## Returns

- `BetaFederationIssuer object`

  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 or null`

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

    format: date-time

  - `archived_by_actor_id: string or null`

    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.

    format: date-time

  - `created_by_actor_id: string or null`

    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 or BetaJWKSExplicitURL or BetaJWKSInline`

    How signing keys are obtained for signature verification.

    - `BetaJWKSDiscovery object`

      JWKS via the issuer's OIDC discovery document.

      - `type: "discovery"`

      - `ca_cert_pem: optional string or null`

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

        maxLength: 8192

      - `discovery_base: optional string or null`

        Set when the discovery URL differs from `issuer_url`.

    - `BetaJWKSExplicitURL object`

      JWKS fetched from a fixed endpoint.

      - `type: "explicit_url"`

      - `url: string`

        JWKS endpoint.

        minLength: 1

      - `ca_cert_pem: optional string or null`

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

        maxLength: 8192

    - `BetaJWKSInline object`

      JWKS supplied directly; no network fetch.

      - `keys: array of map[unknown]`

        Inline JWK objects.

        minItems: 1

      - `type: "inline"`

  - `jwks_polling_disabled_at: string or null`

    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.

    format: date-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.

    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.
