I look for the Authorization token used by Cognito in order to put it in the header of my tests. I need to test some backend API.
I am using Insomnia and the awscognitotoken
plugin. However, I fail to configure it in order to get the token. Their usage is not clear to me.
Here is how I configure the awscognitotoken plugin :
eu-west-1
3t********************dcl5
access
What I get is:
Error in getting session:
{ "request":
{ "method":"post",
"headers":{
"content-type":"application/x-amz-json-1.1",
"x-amz-target":"AWSCognitoIdentityProviderService.InitiateAuth"
},
"body":"{\"AuthFlow\":\"USER_PASSWORD_AUTH\",\"ClientId\":\"3t***dcl5\",\"AuthParameters\":{\"USERNAME\":\"myemail@example.com\",\"PASSWORD\":\"<password>\"}}"},
"status":400
}
Can you spot any error?
Il seems that in my case the problem was that I did not allow the USER_PASSWORD_AUTH
in the settings of AWS.
Here is what I did to allow it:
Enable username password based authentication (ALLOW_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH)
After doing that I've got the token [and I feel stupid].
