Creating a user through self-signup with self-confirmation

To create a user through self-signup and self-confirmation, observe the following steps:

Create an app client for our user pool. The user pool should support email verification:

aws cognito-idp create-user-pool-client 
    --user-pool-id us-east-1_cRtc8peWU 
    --client-name UserPoolClientForSignUp 
    --profile awssecadmin

We should get the following response:

Create a user account through signup, providing an email:

aws cognito-idp sign-up 
    --client-id 5r4f3tpvi026j51atur29uqlme 
    --username testuser3 
    --password Passw0rd$ 
    --user-attributes Name=email,[email protected]

We should get the following response:

We should also get a confirmation code via email, shown as follows:

Self-confirm the account with the confirmation code received:

aws cognito-idp confirm-sign-up 
    --client-id 5r4f3tpvi026j51atur29uqlme 
    --username testuser3 
    --confirmation-code 923042

We can now log in with this user using any of the authentication flows, such as admin authentication (server-side) or client-side authentication flows (using SRP or a password with a username), while using an appropriate app client.
