**To get short-term credentials for a role authenticated with SAML**

The following ``assume-role-with-saml`` command retrieves a set of short-term credentials for the  IAM role ``TestSaml``. The request in this example is authenticated by using the SAML assertion supplied by your identity provider when you authenticate to it. ::

    aws sts assume-role-with-saml \
        --role-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/TestSaml \
        --principal-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:saml-provider/SAML-test \
