Cognito Authentication Flow

0

**Cognito Userpool question ** regarding Authentication Flows (e.g ALLOW_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH , ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH ) (Please note - I’m NOT talking about OAuth Flows. I am talking about Authentication Flows like ALLOW_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH).

What’s the importance of this? If I select SOME value or NO for Authentication flow from cognito UI nothing changes for me in terms of output. I still get the valid Auth Token back from Cognito.

Then what is the importance of Authentication Flow?

For example, I am using following endpoint to get the token: curl POST https://<cognito_domain>/oauth2/token

  1. No Authentication Flow chosen curl POST https://<cognito_domain>/oauth2/token ===> I get valid token back. No as a end-user any experience change.

  2. ALLOW_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH Authentication Flow chosen curl POST https://<cognito_domain>/oauth2/token ===> I get valid token back. No as a end-user any experience change

  3. ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH Authentication Flow chosen curl POST https://<cognito_domain>/oauth2/token ===> I get valid token back. No as a end-user any experience change

Then question is, what’s happening when I choose Authentication Flow?
