Validate Amazon SessionToken Cognito

0 votes

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/authentication-flow.html

From the implementation I've seen it usually uses S3 as an example resource it tries to access. In my case, I just want to know if the credential provided is valid.


mobile sends username / password -> developer server authenticates and generates openIdToken (GetOpenIdTokenForDeveloperIdentity)

mobile sends openId token -> developer server get credentials (accessKeyId, secretAccessKey, sessionToken) with AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity

mobile sends accesskey accessSecret and sessionToken to server -> 
How do I validate if the credentials are correct?

You can use it as an OAuth token provider. 

I am using Amazon STS to manage generating the token and their validity similar to how facebook and google.
