web2py AWS cognito authentication
kryto...@gmail.com
I am changing the login authentication to be handled by AWS Cognito and require some clarification around the approach as cannot get it to work correctly
- I have created a class cog_login that has been assigned to the
auth.settings.login_methods = [cog_login]
One of the functions that is in the class is called authenticate() that takes username and password arguments that the user enters from the standard web2py forms user/login
In the def user() controller in default I have the following:
cog_login().authenticate(request.vars.email, request.vars.password)
This queries AWS and returns True if passes, False otherwise.
I am not clear on what to do with the True, False response within the def user() as it doesn't seem to populate auth.user which always remains as None.
I have tried to force the population of auth.user getting the contents of auth_user, i.e. auth.user = row[0]. This does populate auth.user performing tests auth.is_logged_in() results in a True response.
However when continuing through the def user() the standard onlogin redirect doesn't forward to the main page indicating web2py isnt recording this as authentication accepted.
- I have also tried a redirect if "auth.is_logged_in()" but the decorators @auth.requires_login on the main page don't detect the login and redirect back to the login page.
Is this approach correct, I seem to be missing a step that knits the successful AWS login to Web2py
