Create a Cognito User Pool

The text and image portion of the guide about Enable sign-in API for server-based authentication needs to be updated to reflect a change from AWS. The new option is Enable username password auth for admin APIs for authentication (ALLOW_ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH) as per User Pool Authentication Flow - Server Side Authentication Flow:

  • Pass ADMIN_USER_PASSWORD_AUTH (formerly known as ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH ) for the ExplicitAuthFlow parameter in your server-side app’s call to CreateUserPoolClient or UpdateUserPoolClient .

@SamuelEarl @angququ hope this helps, I got stuck on it too!
