Describe the bug

There's a bug related to authentication and overriding authentication per auth methods. Bug has been narrowed to lack of applying options from events.connect and events.subscribe methods (

amplify-js/packages/api-graphql/src/internals/events/index.ts

Line 44 in d401727

const providerOptions = configure();

)

From code perspective

await events.connect(this.channelId, {
      authMode: 'lambda',
      authToken: 'asdad3s',
    });

The authToken is not included in configuring connection which results in No auth token specified error being thrown.

Similar issues (which describes problem in more details):

• AWS Amplify (Events API): Unable to pass authToken with lambda authMode #14124
• Appsync Events: Can't pass authToken while using authMode: "lambda" #14062

Expected behavior

The authToken can be used with calls to events.connect and events.subscribe

Reproduction steps

1. Install Amplify and create sample project
2. Configure amplify
3. Execute following code

await events.connect(this.channelId, {
      authMode: 'lambda',
      authToken: 'asdad3s',
    });

Code Snippet

await events.connect(this.channelId, {
      authMode: 'lambda',
      authToken: 'asdad3s',
    });

@HuiSF how are you following Amazon's Leadership Principles, and, in particular, Customer Obsession and Ownership, by not solving this issue for over a month? there is also an open PR that wants to solve this issue and it is not being approved.

@HuiSF thank you and i hope i didn't come across as too harsh!

Hello @redjonzaci and @rsmogura ,

This has been on my backlog for the past several weeks and I appreciate @HuiSF taking the time to look at it yesterday. The Event API is a newer feature and these changes require additional testing that I hadn't yet made the time to perform in this case.

I have performed my testing this morning and have proposed several changes directly to the PR. With my changes, this has my approval and I'll work with the team to get the additional approval/review needed to get the fix merged, posting updates here as I have news.

Thanks,
Aaron
