Who benefits
Summary
This post provides an implementation guide for on-behalf-of (OBO) token exchange in multi-tenant agentic systems using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway. It details a complete setup with Okta, illustrating JWT claim transformations and audience binding for scalable, fine-grained access control.
Why it matters
Secure and scalable access control is critical for multi-tenant AI applications, and this guide provides a concrete technical solution for managing user identities and permissions effectively. It addresses a complex security challenge essential for enterprise AI adoption.
How to implement this in your domain
- 1Review the conceptual foundations of OBO token exchange and fine-grained access control for multi-tenant agents.
- 2Configure an identity provider like Okta to issue and manage tokens for your multi-tenant AI application.
- 3Implement Bedrock AgentCore Gateway interceptors to handle JWT claim transformations during token exchange.
- 4Establish audience binding mechanisms to ensure defense-in-depth security across different tenants.
- 5Test the OBO setup thoroughly to validate secure and correct access control for all tenant scenarios.
