I want to authenticate application users using cognito user pool with java script SDK. I have manually create account and user pool for my application . I want to configure API gate way authentication part through serverless.
How to do it?
Is there any alternative way for doing this?
Please mention example application for API gateway configuration.
Hi,
We have working auth with Cognito user pool but it is still using Serverless 0.5.
First what you need is custom authorizer function: https://github.com/keboola/developer-portal/tree/master/authorizer - it is more or less copied from some aws tutorial. (API Gateway supports direct Cognito User pool authorizer however I didn’t find a way how to reference it from endpoint deifinition in Serverless.) Then you configure endpoints like this: https://github.com/keboola/developer-portal/blob/master/auth/me/s-function.json#L17
I’m not sure if I haven’t forgotten something, just ask if anything is not clear.

currently i use server less v1. Can i move v1 to v0.5
I don’t think it is necessary, you just need to adjust our code for sls 1.0.
You should be able to set this up through custom resources: https://github.com/serverless/serverless/blob/master/docs/guide/custom-provider-resources.md
Currently cognito isn’t supported by Cloudformation, so we can’t set it up automatically.
If anyone manages to set it using custom resources I would be very grateful to see it. So far I have zero experience with Cloud Formation and don’t have a clue how to start so now I give up until Cognito is supported. ;o)
