cognitoidentityprovider_confirm_sign_up: Confirms the account of a new user

In paws.security.identity: 'Amazon Web Services' Security, Identity, & Compliance Services

Confirms the account of a new user

Description

Confirms the account of a new user. This public API operation submits a code that Amazon Cognito sent to your user when they signed up in your user pool. After your user enters their code, they confirm ownership of the email address or phone number that they provided, and their user account becomes active. Depending on your user pool configuration, your users will receive their confirmation code in an email or SMS message.

Usage

cognitoidentityprovider_confirm_sign_up(
  ClientId,
  SecretHash = NULL,
  Username,
  ConfirmationCode,
  ForceAliasCreation = NULL,
  AnalyticsMetadata = NULL,
  UserContextData = NULL,
  ClientMetadata = NULL,
  Session = NULL
)

Arguments

ClientId	[required] The ID of the app client associated with the user pool.
SecretHash	A keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) calculated using the secret key of a user pool client and username plus the client ID in the message. For more information about SecretHash, see Computing secret hash values.
Username	[required] The name of the user that you want to query or modify. The value of this parameter is typically your user's username, but it can be any of their alias attributes. If username isn't an alias attribute in your user pool, this value must be the sub of a local user or the username of a user from a third-party IdP.
ConfirmationCode	[required] The confirmation code that your user pool sent in response to the sign_up request.
ForceAliasCreation	When true, forces user confirmation despite any existing aliases. Defaults to false. A value of true migrates the alias from an existing user to the new user if an existing user already has the phone number or email address as an alias. Say, for example, that an existing user has an email attribute of [e-mail] and email is an alias in your user pool. If the new user also has an email of [e-mail] and your confirm_sign_up response sets ForceAliasCreation to true, the new user can sign in with a username of [e-mail] and the existing user can no longer do so. If false and an attribute belongs to an existing alias, this request returns an AliasExistsException error. For more information about sign-in aliases, see Customizing sign-in attributes.
AnalyticsMetadata	Information that supports analytics outcomes with Amazon Pinpoint, including the user's endpoint ID. The endpoint ID is a destination for Amazon Pinpoint push notifications, for example a device identifier, email address, or phone number.
UserContextData	Contextual data about your user session like the device fingerprint, IP address, or location. Amazon Cognito threat protection evaluates the risk of an authentication event based on the context that your app generates and passes to Amazon Cognito when it makes API requests. For more information, see Collecting data for threat protection in applications.
ClientMetadata	A map of custom key-value pairs that you can provide as input for any custom workflows that this action triggers. You create custom workflows by assigning Lambda functions to user pool triggers. When Amazon Cognito invokes any of these functions, it passes a JSON payload, which the function receives as input. This payload contains a clientMetadata attribute that provides the data that you assigned to the ClientMetadata parameter in your request. In your function code, you can process the clientMetadata value to enhance your workflow for your specific needs. To review the Lambda trigger types that Amazon Cognito invokes at runtime with API requests, see Connecting API actions to Lambda triggers in the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide. When you use the ClientMetadata parameter, note that Amazon Cognito won't do the following: Store the ClientMetadata value. This data is available only to Lambda triggers that are assigned to a user pool to support custom workflows. If your user pool configuration doesn't include triggers, the ClientMetadata parameter serves no purpose. Validate the ClientMetadata value. Encrypt the ClientMetadata value. Don't send sensitive information in this parameter.
Session	The optional session ID from a sign_up API request. You can sign in a user directly from the sign-up process with the USER_AUTH authentication flow.
