I am trying to make a custom authentication flow using AWS Cognito so that i can send MFA codes via email instead through the cognito triggers. I am using the initiateAuth() method to do this which is correct according to the documentation;
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito-user-identity-pools/latest/APIReference/API_InitiateAuth.html
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/CognitoIdentityServiceProvider.html#initiateAuth-property
My payload seems to be valid but when i try login with a user i get the error 't.getauthparameters is not a function'
I've had a look through some other stackoverflow posts but nothing is helping
Any ideas what is going wrong?
This is a snippet from my code below:
const payload = {
AuthFlow: 'CUSTOM_AUTH',
ClientId: 'my client id',
AuthParameters: {
USERNAME: $('input[name=username]').val(),
PASSWORD: $('input[name=password]').val(),
CHALLENGE_NAME: 'SRP_A'
}
};
cognitoUser.initiateAuth(payload, {
onSuccess: function(result) {
// User authentication was successful
},
onFailure: function(err) {
// User authentication was not successful
},
customChallenge: function(challengeParameters) {
// User authentication depends on challenge response
var verificationCode = prompt('Please input OTP code' ,'');
cognitoUser.sendCustomChallengeAnswer(verificationCode, this);
},
});
Hey Mahmoud, Thanks for the reply! Followed the similar example you sent me and it has worked
Hi Mahmoud, I'm trying to do something similar, but instead of getting the user input from a prompt in the customchallenge callback, I would like to get it from a textbox within the authentication flow itself, similar to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46472827/reactjs-aws-cognito-getting-user-input-mid-execution.
Do you know if this is possible via the SDK? Thanks!
