How do I integrate amazon cognito login in postman?
I have an example of doing this...
- The callback URL as defined in the Cognito User Pool console under App Integration / App client settings.
- The URL for the login endpoint of your domain. This will be under Cognito User Pool / App Integration / Domain Name
- Client ID is found under Cognito User Pool / General Settings / App clients
- List the scopes you want to include in the Access Token. These must be enabled under Cognito User Pool / App Integration / App client settings. These can be either standard or custom scopes. Custom scopes are defined under App Integration / Resource servers and must include the resource server ID (e.g. https://myresource.com/myscope)
- Click Request Token
You may now log in to your Cognito User Pool and receive an Access Token!
The problem is that once you have the Access Token it isn't usable within Postman because Cognito expects it to be bare and Postman automatically prepends 'Bearer' to the token:
The token can be used in cURL though:
curl -i -H "Authorization: dyJraWQiOiI1YVcwTUlqN1hBaHg4Yzh4Q3JNT2RsQjhZWjlCR3NQOE9BbkFlVFJtUklRPSIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiI3YmEwZmMzOC01ZDcwkYS05MTI5ZTBmYTUzNTEiLCJ0b2tlbl91c2UiOiJhY2Nlc3MiLCJzY29wZSI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9hcGkubXk5MC5jb21cL3BvbGljZURlcGFydG1lbnRzLnJlYWQiLCJhdXRoX3RpbWUiOjE1NDA1OTIzMTYsImlzcyI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9jb2duaXRvLWlkcC51cy1lYXN0LTEuYW1hem9uYXdzLmNvbVwvdXMtZWFzdC0xX2xIbGo4NXpRYSIsImV4cCI6MTU0MDU5NTkxNiwiaWF0IjoxNTQwNTkyMzE2LCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjoyLCJqdGkiOiJhN2JiOWU2MC1kNmY1LTQ3ODYtODMwYi0xODdkZDZmYTZlODAiLCJjbGllbnRfaWQiOiI2MzhlYmZ1dTdiZDRkMXVkYnRzY2pxcnJncyIsInVzZXJuYW1lIjoicm9qbyJ9.O_GAxfFX3IQfLUu5Hxr05Wrk_2QDwNSL8tvDdEU0Dzs9d1XhQPafT6ney6yiGnKPOwsO8HhWdbT1QdDmByjuwQAURf1Da4Au7c-yhfgJcqWuHWZ4mledTSP8ukXqihMb4PoaDdU4JXyOdMLa50dBXVMgJNyXTpIulWOxFhiTW6DeQbnxNDk94cGNz_CTKCEqKStiloFZfLR7ndSrWqdOQ_SU__YV0RyKXZyK5yguv3nkUcI6cuKpbPVIZ5DNdpufbrtOLuZcC6HePBKrbTKjSZCt5-swy3YrwnY4ApTX7QUFzof6FylWaLA_KVP3Zv6ksSJ_IjBMFH1NRVHh4lbsOA" \

Thanks to Robert Jordan for his above postman OAuth2.0 configuration post.

Ok,
Open the Cognito console and follow the bellow stages:
1) create new user pool
