Creating new users who will be authenticated against AWS Cognito User Pool

[Yogeswari Narayasamy]

I have the following config in the Tinode server's local.conf file (set by a senior colleague).

From the front-end, users are able to get authenticated to the chat app with their AWS Cognito user pool id and password.

1. Referring to "mhub" & "mhubconsummer" definitions below, will I be able to create a new user on the chat server with a grpc call?

2. Are "mhub" & "mhubconsummer" considered "anonymous" scheme? (we want the users to use their cognito user name and password to login to the chat app, thus Tinode doesn't have to define a separate password for the user)

// Authentication configuration.

   "auth_config": {

       "logical_names": [],

        // Basic (login + password) authentication.

       "basic": {

           // Add 'auth-name:username' to tags making user discoverable by username.

           "add_to_tags": true,

           "min_login_length": 4,

           "min_password_length": 6

       },

       "mhub": { // admin user pool

           "region": "ap-southeast-1",

           "user_pool_id": "ap-southeast-1_ir........",

           "app_client_id": "4vnm..........",

           "access_key_id": "AKIAW...........",

           "secret_access_key": "yIGUtK.............",

       },

       "mhubconsumer": { // customer user pool

           "region": "ap-southeast-1",

           "access_key_id": "AKIAWA..............",

           "secret_access_key": "yIGUtK................",

       },

        // Token authentication

       "token": {

           "expire_in": 1209600,

            "serial_num": 1,

            "key": "wfaY2RgF2S1......"

       }

   },

If you want to use a custom authentication method you should create your own custom authenticator. Your authenticator will have the name you assigned in the config file. I.e. authenticator 'mhub' will have the name 'mhub'.
