Before you proceed...

We want to start writing code and deploying our Microservices to Amazon Web Services. So you will need to have a few things prepared.

Step1: Have a Source Control system ready. The easiest way of having a source control system is to sign up with GitHub at https://github.com with a free account.

Step2: Install .NET Core SDK. It can be any .NET Core SDK as long as it is not .Net Core 3.0 or 3.1
Install Visual Studio 2017 or higher

Step3: Create a free account at AWS ( https://aws.amazon.com/free ). You will need this account to deploy your Microservices.

If you did not reach out Part-1 then please go through the below link.
(Introduction about the Microservices architecture and Monolithic application/architecture and problems.)
An Introduction of a Microservices with ASP.net core 3x(Part-1)
https://qiita.com/alokrawat050/items/66a512dc840827107260

In this part, we will do the sign-up, confirm the email, and will play with AWS settings.
Let's Create a project file and will do AWS Cognito setting part:

Step 1: Open you vs code and create a .net core application.

<:-------------------------------------------**1**-----------------------------------------:>

<:-------------------------------------------**2**-----------------------------------------:>

<:-------------------------------------------**3**-----------------------------------------:>

Step 2: Add a few AWS Packages in the project
Go to the "Project" -> "Manage NuGet Pacakges..."

then search "Amazon.AspNetCore.Identity.Cognito"

then search "Amazon.Extensions.CognitoAuthentication"

Step 3: Create a new User in AWS
here I already created a new user called "ad_word_user"

<:-------------------------------------------**1**-----------------------------------------:>

<:-------------------------------------------**2**-----------------------------------------:>

now set a new permission, AmazonCognitoDeveloperAuthenticatedIdentities

Step 5: Create a New App Client
Create a new app client and copy the app_client_id and app_client_secret

<:-------------------------------------------**1**-----------------------------------------:>

<:-------------------------------------------**2**-----------------------------------------:>

Step 6: SetUp app client ID and client secret
Open the file appsettings.json and copy the below code and paste in your file.

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft": "Warning",
      "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
    }
  },
  "AllowedHosts": "*",
  "AWS": {
    "Region": "<YOUR_REGION>",
    "UserPoolClientId": "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",
    "UserPoolClientSecret": "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>",
    "UserPoolId": "<YOUR_POOL_ID>"
  }
}

UserPoolId,

Step 7: Create Below files in the following directories:
■. in the Controllers directory, create a Accounts.cs controller.

   right-click on Controllers directory
   add -> new file
   ASP.NET Core -> MVC Controller Class

■. in the Models directory, create a new directory, called Accounts and inside the newly created directory, create two model files, ConfirmModel.cs and SignupModel.cs

   right-click on Models directory
   add -> new folder -> [Accounts]

   then right-click on the newly created directory, called Accounts
   add -> new class
   General -> Empty Class

■. in the Views directory, create a new directory, called Accounts and inside the newly created directory, create two model files, Confirm.cshtml and Signup.cshtml

   right-click on Views directory
   add -> new folder -> [Accounts]

   then right-click on newly created directory, called Accounts
   add -> new file
   ASP.NET Core -> Razor Page

Step 8: Code:
in the Accounts.cs file,

using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Amazon.AspNetCore.Identity.Cognito;
using Amazon.Extensions.CognitoAuthentication;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using WebAdWord.Models.Accounts;

public class Accounts : Controller
    {
        private readonly SignInManager<CognitoUser> _signInManager;
        private readonly UserManager<CognitoUser> _userManager;
        private readonly CognitoUserPool _pool;

        public Accounts(SignInManager<CognitoUser> signInManager, UserManager<CognitoUser> userManager, CognitoUserPool pool)
        {
            _signInManager = signInManager;
            _userManager = userManager;
            _pool = pool;
        }
    }

public async Task<IActionResult> Signup()
        {
            var model = new SignupModel();
            return View(model);
        }

[HttpPost]
        public async Task<IActionResult> Signup(SignupModel model)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                var user = _pool.GetUser(model.Email);
                if (user.Status != null)
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("UserExists", "User with this email alred exits");
                    return View(model);
                }

                user.Attributes.Add(CognitoAttribute.Name.AttributeName, model.Email);
                var createdUser = await _userManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password).ConfigureAwait(false);

                if (createdUser.Succeeded)
                {
                    RedirectToAction("Confirm");
                }
            }
            return View();
        }

[HttpGet]
        public async Task<IActionResult> Confirm(ConfirmModel model)
        {            
            return View(model);
        }

        [HttpPost]
        [ActionName("Confirm")]
        public async Task<IActionResult> Confirm_Post(ConfirmModel model)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                var user = await _userManager.FindByEmailAsync(model.Email).ConfigureAwait(false);
                if (user == null)
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("NotFound", "A user with the given email address was not found.");
                    return View(model);
                }
                
                var result = await (_userManager as CognitoUserManager<CognitoUser>).ConfirmSignUpAsync(user, model.Code, true).ConfigureAwait(false);
                if (result.Succeeded)
                {
                    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
                }
                else
                {
                    foreach(var item in result.Errors)
                    {
                        ModelState.AddModelError(item.Code, item.Description);
                    }

                    return View(model);
                }
            }

            return View(model);
        }

            <button type="submit">Confirm</button>
        </form>
    </div>
</div>

Step 9: Debug the Code:

After sign-up you will get a mail.

Copy the verification code and then access the below URL:
https://localhost:5001/Accounts/Confirm

After Successfully confirming you will redirect to the Home Page.

Step 10: AWS Cognito Dashboard
Here you can see that newly created user's display in the dashboard.

In the next part, we will implement login, forgot password, and reset password functionality.
