Amazon Cognito
Follow the AWS Cognito guide to create a Cognito application or use an existing one.
Steps
- Create a Cognito User Pool (if not already available).
- Create an Application:
- Choose "Traditional Web Application" as the Application Type.
- Skip adding the return URL for now; it can be added later after deploying the TrueFoundry service.
- Save the following details:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Open the OpenID Configuration:
- Example:
https://cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_GOoTGBS6e/.well-known/openid-configuration
- This contains required fields like:
- Issuer
- JWKS URI
- Authorization URL
- Token URL
- Supported Scopes
- Example:
Integration with TrueFoundry
- Use the values from the OpenID configuration in the integration.
- For Client Secret, you can:
- Create a TrueFoundry Secret, or
- Directly add the value.
- Include appropriate scopes as required for your integration (e.g.,
openid
,email
, etc.). - Retain JWT Source as Access Token (no changes needed).
