aws-cognito-token-cli

Generate access and identity tokens for your AWS Cognito User Pools.

What

Generate access and identity tokens for a specific user per application environment.

NOTE: This project was a quick implementation. At this time it would be best to fork the project and configure users and resources in your own repo.

Why

If you are using AWS Cognito User Pools to authenticate calls to your application API then you will need an identity token to authenticate your calls. Perhaps you want to develop a Serverless API and test it with a REST client, such as insomnia. You can use this project to generate your identity token and then drop it into the Authorization header in your request.

How

• Add you UserPool's ID and Client's ID for each application enviroment.
• Run the following command:

USERNAME=<username> PASSWORD=<password> TARGET_RESOURCES=<target-environment> npm run gen:token

Sample input:

USERNAME=test@test.com PASSWORD=P@ssword1 TARGET_RESOURCES=BETA npm run gen:token

Sample output:
