The AWS Cognito documentation is very sketchy when it comes to explaining OpenID Connect providers or how to implement auth using say LinkedIn. The nearest example is of SalesForce
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/building-an-app-using-amazon-cognito-and-an-openid-connect-identity-provider/
These steps did not work for LinkedIn using it Javascript SDK. Not able to retrieve id_token similar to FB or Google JS SDK. AWS needs id_token to return the AWS credentials.
Anyone has successfully implemented Linked with AWS Cognito?

OpenID Connect is an open standard for authentication that a number of login providers support. Amazon Cognito supports you to link identities with OpenID Connect providers that you configure through AWS Identity and Access Management .
Q: When using public identity providers, does Amazon Cognito Identity store users' credentials? No, your app communicates directly with the supported public identity provider (Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Google, or an Open ID Connect-compliant provider) to authenticate users.
Amazon Cognito provides an identity store that scales to millions of users, supports social and enterprise identity federation, and offers advanced security features to protect your consumers and business.
Nope. It seems Linkedin does not offer full OpenID Connect. Also see this thread on the AWS Forum.
A possible solution would be to use Cognito with Auth0 (which can log you in via Linkedin).
