Create a Cognito Pool

 

Now that we have a Facebook App registered we need to create a Cognito pool that will be linked to the Facebook app.

Go to the Cognito start page and click Get Started Now

 

Step 1:

Give your app a name in Identity Pool Name.

Paste your Facebook App ID.

Leave Enable Access to Unauthenticated Identities unchecked.

Click Create Pool

Step 2:

An IAM role has been automatically created for you. Click Update Roles

Step 3:

Example code for native mobile apps has been created for you which is useless for us with javascript so just click Done.

Finished! You have created a Cognito pool and are viewing its dashboard. Next, lets use OpenFB to sign in and get our Facebook session token.
