How to use AWS Cognito with cookie sessions?

Hi, Gaita

AWS Cognito provides its own user management and authentication service, and it includes a feature for managing user sessions. Unlike PassportJS with DynamoDB where you manage sessions by storing them in a database, AWS Cognito handles session management internally.

When a user signs in using AWS Cognito, it issues JWTs that contain information about the user and the authentication status. These JWTs can be used to manage user sessions without the need for external storage.

Here's a general overview of how you can handle sessions with AWS Cognito:

User Sign-In: Users sign in using AWS Cognito, and upon successful authentication, Cognito issues JWTs.

JWTs for Sessions: The JWTs contain claims about the user, such as identity information and authentication status. These tokens are typically valid for a certain duration (configured in Cognito), and you can use them to identify and authenticate users.

Handling Session Expiry: You need to handle token expiration appropriately. When a token expires, users need to re-authenticate.

Logout: AWS Cognito provides a logout endpoint. When users log out, you can call this endpoint to invalidate their session.

Token Validation: When your server receives a request, you can validate the JWT to ensure it hasn't been tampered with and is still valid.

Hi Gaita

I wont stored the session password on the browser , we are just integration with jwt authenication from cognito and aws lambda .
