How to add google sign in aws cognito in node js backend.

0

I'm using @aws-sdk/client-cognito-identity-provider in my node js express application.

I've able to implement login/signup using email/password and getting AcesssToken and RefreshToken and wanted to something same with google sign in. So I've able to complete fronted part of getting idToken from google auth.

so I would like to know how can I add google sign in my cognito and get AcessToken, RefreshToken since I can't able to find any documentation or articles about this.

Any help will be appreciated!

Hi,

The following Knowledge Center post describes step by step how to configure Google as a federated identity provider (IdP) in an Amazon Cognito user pool.

Having said that, if you want authenticate an end user from the frontend against a third party (Google here), you may take a look at Oauth2 Authorization code grant flow, since the credentials should not go through your backend server.

    Sorry, I may not have understood you correctly. Could you give me more information about your use case? Are you trying to log in a user or a machine?

    The Oauth2 Authorization code grant flow will provide you an access, id and refresh token, but Cognito Hosted UI is required.

    does my user needs to go to the hosted UI to sign in through Google or other social providers.
