Could not have "Sign In with Cognito" link in the login page

[marcoarruda]

Hello,

I tried to follow the tutorial found here: https://www.cakedc.com/ajibarra/2019/03/15/how-to-cakephp-cakedc-users-and-amazon-cognito

But at the end I could not find the link "Sign In with Cognito" at the login page.

Is there something missing? Maybe I need to create the link manually and don't get it throughout the instructions.

Thanks in advance

Hi @marcoarruda , I am looking for the same. If you get anything to integrate Cognito with cakephp then please let me know. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks

Hey guys @roshnimansuri @marcoarruda, I am sorry I have missed this. I have updated article because I noticed some configuration details were in a wrong section.

If you are using Users plugin templates as recommended you just need to enable social login using

'Users.Social.login' => true

What I usually do is copying the whole users.php file to my app/config folder and then I add any configuration I want to include like previous one. Remember you also need to include clientID, secret, etc using:

'OAuth.providers.cognito.options.clientId' => 'CLIENT_ID',
'OAuth.providers.cognito.options.clientSecret' => 'CLIENT_SECRET',
'OAuth.providers.cognito.options.cognitoDomain' => 'DOMAIN',
'OAuth.providers.cognito.options.region' => 'REGION',

Please let me know if you still have problems and include your custom users.php file, you should remove sensitive information before pasting content here.

Hi,

I think I had the same issue with the docs but worked my way through it.
The docs at https://www.cakedc.com/ajibarra/2019/03/15/how-to-cakephp-cakedc-users-and-amazon-cognito

are missing a line of code.

It says

Add the following code to your src/Application.php pluginBootstrap() method to ensure we override the plugin defaults

But there is no code snippet after.

Working my way through the main cakedc plugin docs I found the answer.
edit src/Application.php

Find where it says
$this->addPlugin('CakeDC/Users');
and add
Configure::write('Users.config', ['users']);

Also don't forget that config/users.php must start with <?PHP and close with ?>

Also on Cakephp 4.3 I also had to fix the routing syntax

Colon prefixed route placeholders like :fooare deprecated. Use braced placeholders like{foo}instead. - /var/www/html/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Routing/Route/Route.php, line: 300 You can disable all deprecation warnings by settingError.errorLeveltoE_ALL & ~E_USER_DEPRECATED, or add vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Routing/Route/Route.phptoError.ignoredDeprecationPathsin yourconfig/app.php to mute deprecations from only this file.

Same as this issue from teh main cakedc
CakeDC/users#972

changed /:provider to /{provider}

in both

vendor/cakedc/users/config/routes.php
vendor/cakedc/auth/config/bootstrap.php

Lastly, After running bin/cake migrations migrate -p CakeDC/Users to create the tables, I also had to make some changes to the social_accounts table to allow for the token. I changed both token and token_secret to text as var char 500 was too small.
