Class InitiateAuthRequest

    • Method Detail

      • authFlow

        public final AuthFlowType authFlow()

        The authentication flow that you want to initiate. Each AuthFlow has linked AuthParameters that you must submit. The following are some example flows and their parameters.

        • USER_AUTH: Request a preferred authentication type or review available authentication types. From the offered authentication types, select one in a challenge response and then authenticate with that method in an additional challenge response.

        • REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH: Receive new ID and access tokens when you pass a REFRESH_TOKEN parameter with a valid refresh token as the value.

        • USER_SRP_AUTH: Receive secure remote password (SRP) variables for the next challenge, PASSWORD_VERIFIER, when you pass USERNAME and SRP_A parameters.

        • USER_PASSWORD_AUTH: Receive new tokens or the next challenge, for example SOFTWARE_TOKEN_MFA, when you pass USERNAME and PASSWORD parameters.

        All flows

        USER_AUTH

        The entry point for sign-in with passwords, one-time passwords, and WebAuthN authenticators.

        USER_SRP_AUTH

        Username-password authentication with the Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol. For more information, see Use SRP password verification in custom authentication flow.

        REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH and REFRESH_TOKEN

        Provide a valid refresh token and receive new ID and access tokens. For more information, see Using the refresh token.

      • hasAuthParameters

        public final boolean hasAuthParameters()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the AuthParameters property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • authParameters

        public final Map<String,​String> authParameters()

        The authentication parameters. These are inputs corresponding to the AuthFlow that you're invoking. The required values depend on the value of AuthFlow:

        • For USER_AUTH: USERNAME (required), PREFERRED_CHALLENGE. If you don't provide a value for PREFERRED_CHALLENGE, Amazon Cognito responds with the AvailableChallenges parameter that specifies the available sign-in methods.

        • For USER_SRP_AUTH: USERNAME (required), SRP_A (required), SECRET_HASH (required if the app client is configured with a client secret), DEVICE_KEY .

        • For USER_PASSWORD_AUTH: USERNAME (required), PASSWORD (required), SECRET_HASH (required if the app client is configured with a client secret), DEVICE_KEY .

        • For REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH/REFRESH_TOKEN: REFRESH_TOKEN (required), SECRET_HASH (required if the app client is configured with a client secret), DEVICE_KEY .

        • For CUSTOM_AUTH: USERNAME (required), SECRET_HASH (if app client is configured with client secret), DEVICE_KEY. To start the authentication flow with password verification, include ChallengeName: SRP_A and SRP_A: (The SRP_A Value).

        For more information about SECRET_HASH, see Computing secret hash values. For information about DEVICE_KEY, see Working with user devices in your user pool.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasAuthParameters() method.

        Returns:
        The authentication parameters. These are inputs corresponding to the AuthFlow that you're invoking. The required values depend on the value of AuthFlow:

        • For USER_AUTH: USERNAME (required), PREFERRED_CHALLENGE. If you don't provide a value for PREFERRED_CHALLENGE, Amazon Cognito responds with the AvailableChallenges parameter that specifies the available sign-in methods.

      • hasClientMetadata

        public final boolean hasClientMetadata()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the ClientMetadata property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • clientMetadata

        public final Map<String,​String> clientMetadata()

        A map of custom key-value pairs that you can provide as input for certain custom workflows that this action triggers.

        You create custom workflows by assigning Lambda functions to user pool triggers. When you use the InitiateAuth API action, Amazon Cognito invokes the Lambda functions that are specified for various triggers. The ClientMetadata value is passed as input to the functions for only the following triggers:

        • Pre signup

        • Pre authentication

        • User migration

        When Amazon Cognito invokes the functions for these triggers, it passes a JSON payload, which the function receives as input. This payload contains a validationData attribute, which provides the data that you assigned to the ClientMetadata parameter in your InitiateAuth request. In your function code in Lambda, you can process the validationData value to enhance your workflow for your specific needs.

        When you use the InitiateAuth API action, Amazon Cognito also invokes the functions for the following triggers, but it doesn't provide the ClientMetadata value as input:

        • Post authentication

        • Custom message

        • Pre token generation

        • Create auth challenge

        • Define auth challenge

        • Custom email sender

        • Custom SMS sender

        For more information, see Customizing user pool Workflows with Lambda Triggers in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide.

        When you use the ClientMetadata parameter, note that Amazon Cognito won't do the following:

        • Store the ClientMetadata value. This data is available only to Lambda triggers that are assigned to a user pool to support custom workflows. If your user pool configuration doesn't include triggers, the ClientMetadata parameter serves no purpose.

        • Validate the ClientMetadata value.

        • Encrypt the ClientMetadata value. Don't send sensitive information in this parameter.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasClientMetadata() method.

        Returns:
        The app client ID.
      • analyticsMetadata

        public final AnalyticsMetadataType analyticsMetadata()

        The Amazon Pinpoint analytics metadata that contributes to your metrics for InitiateAuth calls.

        Returns:
