title: Get Access Token from EndPoint LocalStorage AWS Cognito
body: <p>i work in electron js with aws cognito and oauth2. I need to get an accessToken dynamically from a Storage which is in a cloud endPoint in order to have the authorizations to get a list of data. As far as now, i can get the list if i specify the token in a static way. But i need it dynamic. The key for the token is CognitoIdentityServiceProvider.COGNITO_CLIENT_ID.username.accessToken But i can't seem to get it even if i configured Cognito</p>
  <p>Here is my code for the configuration file which also contains the signIn function:</p>
  <pre><code>const  { Auth } = require('@aws-amplify/auth');
  const { Amplify } = require('aws-amplify');
  const AmazonCognitoIdentity = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js');
  const CognitoUserPool = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js-node').CognitoUserPool;
  const CognitoUserSession = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js-node').CognitoUserSession;
  const CognitoUser = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js-node').CognitoUser;
  const CognitoIdToken = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js-node').CognitoIdToken;
  const CognitoAccessToken = require('@aws-amplify/auth');
  const CognitoRefreshToken = require('amazon-cognito-identity-js-node').CognitoRefreshToken;
  const COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID = 'eu-west-1_P0Jcr7nig';
  const COGNITO_CLIENT_ID = '4m1utu56hjm835dshts9jg63ou';
  const AWS_REGION = 'eu-west-1';
  
  Amplify.configure({
   Auth: {
       // OPTIONAL - Enforce user authentication prior to accessing AWS resources or not
   mandatorySignIn: false,
    region: AWS_REGION,
    userPoolId: COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID,
     userPoolWebClientId: COGNITO_CLIENT_ID,
    // OPTIONAL - Manually set the authentication flow type. Default is 'USER_SRP_AUTH'
     authenticationFlowType: 'USER_PASSWORD_AUTH',
  
  oauth: {
    domain: &quot;https://edc-echosens-cloud.auth.eu-west-1.amazoncognito.com&quot;,
    scope: [&quot;email&quot;, &quot;profile&quot;, &quot;openid&quot;],
    redirectSignIn: &quot;http://localhost:1962/&quot;,
    redirectSignOut: &quot;http://localhost:1962/&quot;,
    responseType: &quot;code&quot;, // or 'token', note that REFRESH token will only be generated when the responseType is code
  },
  
  API: {
    endpoints: [
      {
        name: 'PatientsList',
        endpoint: 'https://url',
      },
    ],
  },
  },
    });
  
   Auth.signIn({
    username: 'doctoredc@yopmail.com',
    password: 'kinG2804*D',
   }).then().catch(err =&gt; {
    console.log(err)});
  
    function getAccessToken() {
     const poolData = { 
       UserPoolId : COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID,
       ClientId : COGNITO_CLIENT_ID,
     };
     const userPool = new CognitoUserPool(poolData);
      var authenticationData = {
       Username : 'mymail@mail.com', // your username here
       Password : 'kinG2804*D', // your password here,
       authenticationFlowType: 'USER_PASSWORD_AUTH',
       Pool : userPool
         };
         var authenticationDetails = new AmazonCognitoIdentity.AuthenticationDetails(
           authenticationData);
         var cognitoUser = new CognitoUser(authenticationData);
         cognitoUser.authenticateUser(authenticationDetails, {
             onSuccess: function (result) {
               console.log('access token + ' + result.getAccessToken().getJwtToken());
             },
             onFailure: function(err) {
              console.log(err);
             },
          });
  }
  
  
  // You can get the current config object
  //const currentConfig = Auth.configure();
  exports.Auth = Auth;
   module.exports.getAccessToken = getAccessToken
  </code></pre>
  <p>I made the pool configurations, specified the api url, and the credentials. Also i added an Auth.signIn function and a getAccessToken function. Then this is the code to call the function in my main</p>
  <pre><code> const API_URL = 'https://url';
    const headers = {
      &quot;Content-Type&quot;: &quot;application/json&quot;,
      Authorization: theAccessToken.getAccessToken()
      };
      console.log('Token Value:', theAccessToken.getAccessToken());
      const getPatients = async(API_URL) =&gt; {
        try {
          const response = await fetch(API_URL,{
            method: 'GET', headers: headers}
            );
          const json = await response.json();
          console.log(json);
        } catch (error) {
          console.log(error);
        }
        };
     getPatients(API_URL);
  </code></pre>
  <p>The problem is the team which made the cloud endpoint specified the authFlowType to be USER_PASSWORD_AUTH but i get an error message USER_SRP_AUTH is not enabled for the client. And they work with USER_PASSWORD_AUTH. So it's blocking me and i don't know what's wrong with not getting the access token dynamically.</p>
  <p>Help me please i am so close to the answer .Thank you</p>
