### Describe the bug
Hello!
I'm trying to authenticate a user using `CognitoIdentityProviderClient`.
**TL;DR:** Using USER_SRP_AUTH flow and a correct secret_hash, I get a response saying SECRET_HASH was not sent.
Here's the relevant portion of the code:
```
Aws::Map authParameters;
authParameters["USERNAME"] = username.c_str();
// authParameters["PASSWORD"] = password.c_str(); // Used to test with USER_PASSWORD_AUTH below
authParameters["SECRET_HASH"] = "some_secret_hash";
authParameters["SRP_A"] = srp.A();
Aws::CognitoIdentityProvider::CognitoIdentityProviderClient cipClient(clientConfig );
Aws::CognitoIdentityProvider::Model::InitiateAuthRequest authRequest;
authRequest.SetClientId( m_clientID.c_str() );
// authRequest.SetAuthFlow(Aws::CognitoIdentityProvider::Model::AuthFlowType::USER_PASSWORD_AUTH );
authRequest.SetAuthFlow(Aws::CognitoIdentityProvider::Model::AuthFlowType::USER_SRP_AUTH );
authRequest.SetAuthParameters( authParameters );
Aws::Map __authParameters = authRequest.GetAuthParameters();
// check if the correct value is in the map. It is.
Aws::CognitoIdentityProvider::Model::InitiateAuthOutcome authResult = cipClient.InitiateAuth( authRequest );
```
Then I get: "NotAuthorizedException: Client is configured with secret but SECRET_HASH was not received"
- I have tested all the credentials (user, password, pool Id, app ID, secret_hash, SRP_A, same flow type, etc...) with both Python's `boto3` and `requests` and it works fine both ways (i get tokens and challange).
- Strangely, in the c++ version above:
- Using USER_PASSWORD_AUTH flow instead (and provide a password in the `authParameters`), I don't get the error of "SECRET_HASH was not received"
- Using USER_SRP_AUTH and `authParameters["SECRET_HASH"] = "some_INCORRECT_secret_hash"`, I get an error saying the hash was not correct (but it was, apparently, received)
From what I have read in several StackOverflow that SRP doesn't work with apps with secrets, but those threads seem outdated, and the python test seems to disprove that?
Could you please advise? Is this a limitation of the c++ sdk or is this a bug?
Many thanks in advance!
