# AWS Cognito PKCE Authentication Example
This directory contains a test harness for validating AWS Cognito PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) authentication
and authorization with Go and the Echo web framework. It demonstrates a complete OAuth 2.0 flow with
role-based access control (RBAC).
It is temporary and will go away once the final middleware is in place.
## What is PKCE?
PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) is an extension to the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow designed to prevent authorization code interception attacks. It's particularly important for:
- Public clients (like SPAs and mobile apps)
- Applications where securely storing a client secret is difficult
- Applications that run in potentially untrusted environments
PKCE works by using a dynamically created cryptographic challenge derived from a secret code verifier. This prevents attackers from exchanging an intercepted authorization code for tokens without possessing the original code verifier.
## How PKCE Works in This Application
1. **Code Verifier Generation**: When a user initiates login, the application generates a random string (code verifier).
2. **Code Challenge Creation**: The application derives a code challenge from the verifier using SHA-256 hashing and Base64URL encoding.
3. **Authorization Request**: The application redirects to Cognito with the code challenge.
4. **User Authentication**: The user authenticates with Cognito.
5. **Authorization Code**: Cognito redirects back to the application with an authorization code.
6. **Token Exchange**: The application exchanges the code and original code verifier for access and ID tokens.
## Prerequisites
- Go 1.16+
- AWS account with Cognito User Pool
- Properly configured Cognito App Client (see setup section)
## Dependencies
- [Echo](https://github.com/labstack/echo) (v4) - Web framework
- [JWKS](https://github.com/lestrrat-go/jwx) - JSON Web Key Set handling for token verification
## Cognito App Client Requirements
Your Cognito App Client must be configured as follows:
1. **No Client Secret**: The app client should be configured as a public client without a client secret.
2. **Allowed OAuth Flows**: Authorization code grant
3. **Allowed OAuth Scopes**: `openid`, `email`, `profile` (and optionally `phone`)
4. **Callback URL**: Must include `http://localhost:8080/query` (or your custom endpoint)
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Description | Example | Required |
|----------|-------------|---------|----------|
| `COGNITO_CLIENT_ID` | Your Cognito App Client ID | `6u3ppajoksbkdlteacg0ukbnfi` | Yes |
| `COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID` | Your Cognito User Pool ID | `us-east-2_1y6po8rR8` | Yes |
| `AWS_REGION` | AWS Region of your Cognito User Pool | `us-east-2` | Yes |
| `COGNITO_DOMAIN` | Your Cognito domain | `your-domain.auth.us-east-2.amazoncognito.com` | No (falls back to default) |
| `DEBUG` | Enable debug logging | `true` | No (defaults to false) |
## Creating a Compatible Cognito App Client
You can create a compatible app client with the AWS CLI:
# Creating a cognito app client for cognito pkce /login
Assumed the cognito user pool is already created.
```
aws --profile aarete --region us-east-2 --endpoint-url https://cognito-idp.us-east-2.amazonaws.com cognito-idp create-user-pool-client \
--user-pool-id us-east-2_1y6po8rR8 \
--client-name "public-pkce-client" \
--no-generate-secret \
--refresh-token-validity 5 \
--access-token-validity 60 \
--id-token-validity 60 \
--token-validity-units "RefreshToken=days,IdToken=minutes,AccessToken=minutes" \
--explicit-auth-flows ALLOW_REFRESH_TOKEN_AUTH ALLOW_USER_AUTH ALLOW_USER_SRP_AUTH \
--supported-identity-providers COGNITO \
--callback-urls http://localhost:8080/query \
--allowed-o-auth-flows code \
--allowed-o-auth-scopes email openid phone profile \
--allowed-o-auth-flows-user-pool-client \
--prevent-user-existence-errors ENABLED
```
## Setup and Running
1.2 omitted
3. Set your environment variables:
```bash
export COGNITO_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
export COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID=<your-user-pool-id>
export AWS_REGION=<your-region>
export DEBUG=true # Optional for debug logging
```
4. Run the application:
```bash
go run main.go
```
5. Visit `http://localhost:8080/login` in your browser to start the authentication flow
## Key Features
- **PKCE Implementation**: Secure authentication flow without client secrets
- **Token Validation**: JWT verification using Cognito's JWKS
- **Authorization**: Role-based access control using Cognito groups
- **Caching**: JWKS caching to minimize API calls
- **Token Handling**: Access and ID token management
- **Middleware Architecture**: Authentication and authorization via Echo middleware
## Authorization & Groups
This application implements role-based access control using Cognito user groups. Routes can be protected based on group membership:
```go
routePermissions := map[string][]string{
"/users": {"exporters"},
"/users/:id": {"exporters", "querybuilders"},
// Other routes and permissions
}
```
Users must belong to the required groups to access protected routes.
## Security Considerations
- The application uses in-memory state management for PKCE sessions. In production, use a persistent and scalable storage solution.
- The application has a 5-minute expiration for PKCE sessions.
- Proper error handling prevents information leakage.
- Token verification checks issuer, signature, and expiration.

# Cognito Auth Test Harness
This repository contains a test harness for validating AWS Cognito authentication and authorization with Go and the Echo web framework. It demonstrates a complete OAuth 2.0 flow with role-based access control (RBAC).
This directory contains a test harness for validating AWS Cognito authentication and authorization with Go and the Echo web framework. It demonstrates a complete OAuth 2.0 flow with role-based access control (RBAC).
It is temporary and will go away once the final middleware is in place.
