Auth0

Auth0 OAuth2

Auth0 provides OAuth2 authentication. This is the original Auth0OAuth2 backend.

For a newer OpenID Connect implementation, see Auth0 OpenID Connect.

Setup

To enable Auth0 OAuth2 support:

1. Register your application at Auth0 Dashboard to get your Auth0 domain, Client ID, and Client Secret.

2. Fill in the settings with your Auth0 domain, Client ID, and Client Secret:

   SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTH0_KEY = ''
   SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTH0_SECRET = ''
   SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTH0_DOMAIN = 'yourdomain.auth0.com'
   

   Replace yourdomain with your Auth0 tenant domain.

3. Add the backend to your authentication backends:

   AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
       ...
       'social_core.backends.auth0.Auth0OAuth2',
       ...
   )
   

Scopes

You can define custom scopes using the SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTH0_SCOPE setting:

SOCIAL_AUTH_AUTH0_SCOPE = ['openid', 'profile', 'email']

The backend will handle JWT token validation and extract user details including username, email, full name, and profile picture.
