Cannot get Authentication to work about amazon-cognito-identity-js HOT 7 CLOSED

In my experiments, I can login only with users who are verified. You can manually verify user from the console or via api; I suppose you can setup an hook and automatically verify via Lambda upon sign up.

Hi Steve,

In the case you mention where your users have no email or SMS, you need to write a lambda hook that will auto confirm them. You cannot authenticate the users because they are unconfirmed as of yet. The error is just a general error trying to prevent an information leak.

@lusentis @itrestian yes, If I manually confirm them the the login works.

I did wonder if the error was deliberately obscure, Not much help when you are developing though. I feel like I'm missing documentation on the important details.

I was planning to leave Lambda for the next iteration, especially as this was all supposed to be released 2 weeks ago :( Are there any good examples of what I need to do? Looks like I have another learning curve to get up quickly. From the little I know I think I used node and the JS api? I assume it's not possible form the browser.

Thanks again.

I see there are triggers for the user pool but none of then are right for this purpose. Though at a pinh 'pre signup' might just work. I'll give it a go

Looks like the answer I want is provided in the docs - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-identity-pools-working-with-aws-lambda-triggers.html?icmpid=docs_cognito_console

What are the json blocks provided after each example lambda function, There's nowhere in the web UI to put them, and naturally I get syntax errors if put in after the function in the code editor

Do we need to put them someplace? are is used somewhere like the CLI to define the function config and not needed if setup via the pools triggers feature

Interestingly they seem to include the validation data we can add in the test edit box. They also seem incomplete as have .... in them. That makes me think they are just examples of something not required to setup the function

Hi Steve,

Basically the json after each example lambda function is input data that can be used when executing the lambda function. As you said, you don't need them to setup the function in the first place.
