OTDS Authentication with Cognito token

Alfredo Morales · 2024-02-23T16:56:03+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I`m having problems authenticating AWS Cognito users, I need to do operations in the repository with their credentials, and I cant find a way to create a IDFSESSION,

I can take their credentials, authenticate then against aws and get an access token, but I can`t find an example to take that token, and pass it to DFCs, DFSs or DCTM Rest,

Checking OTDS webservices I found these endpoints /otdsws/services/Authentication?wsdl, can I use any of these endpoints to translate the AWS token to a DCTM ticket, a otds token on any other way to have access to the repository functionality,

are DFCs capable of taking a token string and instantiate a session?

Hi, this should be more or less clear (depending on the Documentum version). In theory, if I understood you correctly, what you have is an external authentication handler configured with AWS Cognito. This returns a token that you need to use as input parameter to OTDS authentication/token endpoint. This will return an OTDS token.

Then you can use that token/ticket as password with the prefix dm_otds_token=<token> or dm_otds_ticket=<ticket>
