Hi Tushar,

The Lex web UI uses AWS credentials to authenticate to the Lex and Polly services. From your web application, you can use Cognito User Pools to provide the login functionality and to obtain AWS credentials associated to the users. Once your application obtains AWS credentials, it can instantiate the Lex and Polly clients with the credentials from Cognito and pass the client instances to the Lex web UI.

This use case would require you to build the login functionality in your own web application and import the Lex web UI into your project. In this setup, the Lex web UI is consumed as an imported library which can be used as a Vue plugin.

The Tracking Bot project integrates the Cognito hosted UI with the Lex web UI using the approach described above. You can see the integration of it in the following file: App.vue.

Hope this helps.

Hi Oliver,

Can you please elaborate more ,even i don't have knowledge of "vue".Please specify the location and file which require changes for this task, also provide the code with example if possible.

Thanks, Tushar Choudhary

Tushar,

I am unable to provide specific code or a list of files/changes beyond the references I provided above. My first impression is that this functionality is beyond the scope of this project and may be better suited to be an external component that just integrates by passing credentials or AWS client instances to the Lex web UI.

I'll leave this ticket open for a while to track the level of interest or ideas.

+1 for integrating Cognito login to lex-web-ui (with ability to enable/disable via config)
