If I follow the example "Authenticate a User" shown on the http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/using-amazon-cognito-user-identity-pools-javascript-examples.html page or the "Use case 4" example on the https://github.com/aws/amazon-cognito-identity-js/blob/master/README.md page using the Username, the example works.
I am trying to authenticate a user using their email attribute, rather than their username. I have marked the email attribute as an Alias in my User Pool.
User Pools Console in AWS
When I use email in place of username in the "Authenticate a User" example I get the following error: ResourceNotFoundException: Username/client id combination not found. I have included my code sample below.
How does one Authenticate a User via email address using the "Amazon Cognito Identity SDK for JavaScript" (https://github.com/aws/amazon-cognito-identity-js)?
Code Sample
function authenticateUserViaEmail() {
log("authenticateUserViaEmail called");
// Initialize the Amazon Cognito credentials provider
AWS.config.region = 'us-east-1'; // Region
AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
IdentityPoolId: identityPoolId,
});
AWSCognito.config.region = 'us-east-1';
AWSCognito.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
IdentityPoolId: identityPoolId,
});
var authenticationData = {
Username : document.getElementById("email").value,
Password : document.getElementById("password").value
};
log("using: " + JSON.stringify(authenticationData));
var authenticationDetails = new AWSCognito.CognitoIdentityServiceProvider.AuthenticationDetails(authenticationData);
var poolData = { UserPoolId : userPoolId,
ClientId : clientId
};
var userPool = new AWSCognito.CognitoIdentityServiceProvider.CognitoUserPool(poolData);
var userData = {
Username : document.getElementById("email").value,
Pool : userPool
};
var cognitoUser = new AWSCognito.CognitoIdentityServiceProvider.CognitoUser(userData);
log("About to call authenticateUser...");
cognitoUser.authenticateUser(authenticationDetails, {
onSuccess: function (result) {
log('Access token: ' + result.getAccessToken().getJwtToken());
},
onFailure: function(err) {
log(err);
console.error(err);
},
});
}
