Cognito and General Azure/Live ID Signin

To enable authentication with external identity providers like Google, Facebook, Azure, and Live ID in Amazon Cognito, you can use the OIDC (OpenID Connect) protocol. Here's how you can set it up:

• Create Identity Providers in Cognito: In the Amazon Cognito console, create identity providers for each external provider you want to support (Google, Facebook, Azure, Live ID). Configure them with the appropriate client IDs, secrets, and scopes.
• Enable OIDC for Azure and Live ID: For Azure and Live ID, ensure that you're using the correct OIDC endpoints and configurations. You might need to specify the specific OIDC endpoints provided by Azure and Live ID when setting up the identity providers in Cognito.
• Enable Identity Pool: Create or update an identity pool in Cognito to include the identity providers you've configured. Specify the allowed OIDC providers and map attributes between providers as needed.
• Handle Authentication in Your App: In your application, use the appropriate SDKs or libraries to initiate authentication with Cognito. Depending on the provider, you might need to handle the authentication flow differently (e.g., using web redirects for OAuth providers like Google and Facebook).
• Test Authentication: Test the authentication flow with each external provider to ensure that users can successfully authenticate and obtain tokens from Cognito.
