Configuring single federated login to AWS using Google Apps using Users Patch API - Found array where value was expected

Question

Last week I followed the steps in the "How to configure single federated login to AWS using Google Apps" tutorial, and everything went as expected. Yesterday (2016-12-12) I returned to the panel to use the "Users: patch" Google API to set up new roles for my users based on the Schema SSO created according to the tutorial, but I was not able to execute the request as I had done the previous week.

The following error message is displayed in the "Try this API" panel:

"Found array where value was expected"

Here is an example of the request body as defined in the tutorial (Note - in this example I am using placeholders for the values ​​of the value and customType fields):

{
  "customSchemas": {
     "SSO": {
       "role": [
         {
          "value": "<my aws role ARN>,<my aws provider ARN>",
          "customType": "Developer"
         }
       ]
     }
   }
}

From what I understand the message is related to the role field. I would like to understand what changed from the previous week to yesterday and how should I configure the JSON for the "Users: patch" API according to the SSO Schema created the previous week?

Answer 1

I was able to get to the "Freeform" editor and make the changes using this url instead of the one in the AWS documentation. I was having problems getting Postman to authenticate with google, which made this easier.

Answer 2

I had to make some slight changes for this to work.

1. I followed the steps from this article (same article OP used)

2. I used this URL to get to the freeform editor (same link as above answer)

3. In step 4 of the article, which is the step before the question posted by OP above, I used 'SAML' as the schemaName rather than 'SSO'

4. I then used 'SAML' as the customSchema name in the question above, rather than 'SSO' and repeated the process with different email addresses for other users

5. Followed the rest of the article and FINALLY my SSO to AWS from g-suite works.
