I am trying to use aws api gateway authorizer with cognito user pool. It is working fine when i test using aws api gateway console.

But when i try enabling the authorization in the api it says "message": "Unauthorized". Please check below screenshot

Can someone help please.

FYI I have followed the instructions as mentioned here http://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/apigateway-integrate-with-cognito.html
