Use PowerShell

You can create an identity pool or update an existing identity pool.
For example: To create a new identity pool, run the following:
New-AcctIdentityPool -IdentityType ActiveDirectory -IdentityPoolName MyPool -NamingScheme Acc#### -Domain MyDomain.com -NamingSchemeType Numeric -OU "CN=MyOU,DC=MyDomain,DC=com"
For example: To update an existing identity pool, run the following:
$identityPoolUid = (Get-ProvScheme -ProvisioningSchemeName "MyProvScheme").IdentityPoolUid
Set-AcctIdentityPool -IdentityPoolUid $identityPoolUid
