AWS Certified Solutions Architect study material · question 41 of 500

An API only needs to verify signed-in users and receives no AWS resource calls from them. Which Cognito component suffices?

  1. An identity pool, which issues AWS credentials
  2. Both a user pool and an identity pool
  3. Neither, because Cognito always requires an identity pool
  4. A user pool, which can issue JSON web tokens directly
Show the answer

Answer: D. A user pool, which can issue JSON web tokens directly

A user pool can hand JWTs straight to an app, a web server or an API with no identity pool involved.
