Authenticate user using a proxy

[oennen]

I already searched for documentation about this issue, but haven´t found any hint.

We authenticate users similar to the example code at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/using-amazon-cognito-user-identity-pools-javascript-examples.html (topic "Authenticate a User").

Is there a way to do that when the user is behind a proxy? Do you have any example code?

Best regards

I'm not entirely sure what the difference would be. As long as our service endpoints are reachable there shouldn't be a problem. Can you expand your question a little?

I was refering to customers whose internet access is through a proxy server, which is quite common in business type environments. npm can be configured accordingly using a proxy via npm config set proxy or npm config set https-proxy. The popular node module request may be configured using a proxy option.

I was wondering, if this node module also offers a way to handle the cognito api calls through a proxy server. Or will it work out-of-the-box?

It should work out of the box as far as I am aware as long as the Amazon Cognito service endpoints are reachable.
