Authentication failed not handling nested challenges

See original GitHub issue

Utilizing the develop branch commit a53cb082b6a07f32ddc5c9cacff6f5dfe926f170

Using this code which seems to be entirely correct doesn’t seem to authenticate correctly

    config = ce.get_config('Cognito', args.configfile)
    u = Cognito(config['pool_id'],config['client_id'], username=args.username)
    response = u.authenticate(args.password)

2017-04-11 12:24:16 DEBUG parsers.parse Response body:
{"ChallengeName":"NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED","ChallengeParameters":{"requiredAttributes":"[]","userAttributes":"{\"email_verified\":\"true\",\"email\":\"<ommitted email>\"}"},"Session":"<sessiong string ommitted>"}
2017-04-11 12:24:16 DEBUG hooks._emit Event needs-retry.cognito-idp.RespondToAuthChallenge: calling handler <botocore.retryhandler.RetryHandler object at 0x7fc01d531d90>
2017-04-11 12:24:16 DEBUG retryhandler.__call__ No retry needed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/auth-cognito", line 37, in <module>
    main()
  File "bin/auth-cognito", line 33, in main
    response = u.authenticate(args.password)
  File "~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/warrant/__init__.py", line 213, in authenticate
    self.id_token = tokens['AuthenticationResult']['IdToken']
KeyError: 'AuthenticationResult'

It doesn’t look like there is support for Challenges of NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED and it failed to raise like it should https://github.com/capless/warrant/blob/develop/warrant/aws_srp.py#L187

The current state:

  • Warrant raises ForceChangePasswordException for users which are required to change their passwords after successful first login (NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED challenge).

  • new_password_challenge method is not documented

  • Warrant raises NotImplementedError when a challenge is not supported.

  • Warrant doesn’t support SMS_MFA, CUSTOM_CHALLENGE, DEVICE_SRP_AUTH DEVICE_PASSWORD_VERIFIER challenges.

The first post says about the problem with the NEW_PASSWORD_REQUIRED challenge only and this issue is fixed. The title has more broad meaning, it implies that warrant should support all challenges.

@bjinwright The decision of closing the issue depends on what to take into account: the title or the first post.

Looks like it assumes there will only be one response challenge. We’ll need to add the ability to complete the challenge with an additional input (the new password).
