  title: 'Amazon Cognito Identity Provider #X Amz Target=AWSCognitoIdentityProviderService.RespondToAuthChallenge API'
  description: <p>With the Amazon Cognito user pools API, you can set up user pools and app clients, and authenticate users. To authenticate users from third-party identity providers (IdPs) in this API, you can <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-identity-federation-consolidate-users.html">link IdP users to native user profiles</a>. Learn more about the authentication and authorization of federated users in the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-userpools-server-contract-reference.html">Using the Amazon Cognito user pools API and user pool endpoints</a>.</p> <p>This API reference provides detailed information about API operations and object types in Amazon Cognito. At the bottom of the page for each API operation and object, under <i>See Also</i>, you can learn how to use it in an Amazon Web Services SDK in the language of your choice.</p> <p>Along with resource management operations, the Amazon Cognito user pools API includes classes of operations and authorization models for client-side and server-side user operations.

      description: <p>Responds to the authentication challenge.</p> <note> <p>Amazon Cognito doesn't evaluate Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you can't use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you can't grant IAM permissions in policies. For more information about authorization models in Amazon Cognito, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pools-API-operations.html">Using the Amazon Cognito native and OIDC APIs</a>.</p> </note> <note> <p>This action might generate an SMS text message. Starting June 1, 2021, US telecom carriers require you to register an origination phone number before you can send SMS messages to US phone numbers. If you use SMS text messages in Amazon Cognito, you must register a phone number with <a href="https://console.aws.amazon.com/pinpoint/home/">Amazon Pinpoint</a>. Amazon Cognito uses the registered number automatically. Otherwise, Amazon Cognito users who must receive SMS messages might not be able to sign up, activate their accounts, or sign in.</p> <p>If you have never used SMS text messages with Amazon Cognito or any other Amazon Web Service, Amazon Simple Notification Service might place your account in the SMS sandbox. In <i> <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/dg/sns-sms-sandbox.html">sandbox mode</a> </i>, you can send messages only to verified phone numbers. After you test your app while in the sandbox environment, you can move out of the sandbox and into production. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pool-sms-settings.html"> SMS message settings for Amazon Cognito user pools</a> in the <i>Amazon Cognito Developer Guide</i>.</p> </note>
