A basic demo of logging in to a game server with Amazon Cognito. The client and server use a socket to communicate a key obtained from Amazon Cognito.

Requirements

• An AWS account with access to Amazon Cognito: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 or higher (any edition): https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/

└── GameLoginClient/         # Contains solution file as well as the client project
    ├── GameLoginClient.sln  # Solution that builds both the client and server
    └── GameLoginClient/     # Contains the client project and source code

Building and using the sample

1. Create a new Amazon Cognito User Pool through the AWS console. In the app client details be sure to enable "username-password (non-SRP) flow for app-based authentication (USER_PASSWORD_AUTH)".
2. Modify the ClientSettings.h and ServerSettings.h file. The app client ID will get pasted in the client settings. Make sure the correct AWS region is set in both places.
3. Run the server application and then any number of clients.
