Hi. 
You can use Amazon Cognito to federate identity from AzureAD and then use Amazon Cognito to manage the authetication flow.

First step is to set up federate AzureAD with Cognito, you could take a look [at this blog post](https://aws.amazon.com/es/blogs/security/how-to-set-up-amazon-cognito-for-federated-authentication-using-azure-ad/).

You can learn more about Cognito with third party identity [providers here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-identity-federation.html) and about i[ntegrating Cognito with React applications here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/patterns/authenticate-react-application-users-by-using-amazon-cognito-and-aws-amplify.html).
