Connect Your Auth0 Application with Okta Workforce Enterprise Connection

The Okta Workforce Enterprise connection is an officially-supported, streamlined integration, and the preferred method to implement Okta as an Identity Provider (IdP) in Auth0.

This integration allows your customers to manage their employees’ access to your application with Okta.

Additionally, if you are using Auth0 for customer identity management and Okta for workforce identity management internally, this integration is effective way to manage your identity spaces.

If the Okta Workforce Enterprise connection does not support your use case, you can configure Okta as a SAML IdP or configure a custom authorization server to serve your needs.

Create Okta OIDC app integration

To learn how to create an Okta OIDC app integration, read Create OIDC app integrations on Okta Help Center.

Use the following settings when you set up your Okta OIDC app integration:

1. Select OIDC as the Sign-in method.
2. Select Web application as the Application type, and set the following parameters:

Field	Description
Name	The name of your application.
Sign-in Redirect URIs	https://{YOUR_AUTH0_TENANT}.{YOUR_TENANT_REGION}.auth0.com/login/callback
Trusted Origins	https://{yourDomain}

Find your Auth0 domain name for redirects

If your Auth0 domain name is not shown above and you are not using our custom domains feature, your domain name is a concatenation of your tenant name, your regional subdomain, and auth0.com, separated by the dot (.) symbol.

For example, if your tenant name is exampleco-enterprises, and your tenant is in the US region, your Auth0 domain name would be exampleco-enterprises.us.auth0.com and your Redirect URI would be https://exampleco-enterprises.us.auth0.com/login/callback.

However, if your tenant is in the US region and was created before June 2020, then your Auth0 domain name would be exampleco-enterprises.auth0.com and your Redirect URI would be https://exampleco-enterprises.auth0.com/login/callback.

If you are using custom domains, your Redirect URI would be https://<YOUR CUSTOM DOMAIN>/login/callback.

3. Record the Client ID and Client Secret that Okta generates for your app integration.

Add test user to Okta app integration

Create a test user in your Okta Directory to test your app integration:

1. In your Okta Admin Dashboard, navigate to Directory > People.
2. Select Add Person.
3. Enter user test details, including a password.
4. Save the test user.
5. In the Directory, select the new user
6. Navigate to the Applications tab for the user and choose Assign Applications.
7. Select the application name you created in the previously.

Create Okta Workforce Enterprise connection in Auth0

3. In the Provisioning view, configure how user profiles get created and updated in Auth0.

Field	Description
Sync user profile attributes at each login	When enabled, Auth0 automatically syncs user profile data with each user login, thereby ensuring that changes made in the connection source are automatically updated in Auth0.
Sync user profiles using SCIM	When enabled, Auth0 allows user profile data to be synced using SCIM. For more information, see Configure Inbound SCIM.

4. Switch to the Login Experience view, and configure how your users log in with this connection:

Field	Description
Home Realm Discovery	Compares a user’s email domain with the provided identity provider domains. For more information, read Configure Identifier First Authentication
Display connection button	This option displays the following choices to customize your application’s connection button.
Button display name (Optional)	Text used to customize the login button for Universal Login. When set the button reads: “Continue with {Button display name}”.
Button logo URL (Optional)	URL of image used to customize the login button for Universal Login. When set, the Universal Login login button displays the image as a 20px by 20px square.

Optional fields are available with Universal Login only. Customers using Classic Login will not see the Add button, Button display name, or Button logo URL.

Enable connection for Auth0 applications

To use your new Okta Workforce Enterprise connection, you must enable the connection for your Auth0 Applications.

Test the connection

Now you’re ready to test your connection.

Configure Global Token Revocation

This connection type supports a Global Token Revocation endpoint, which allows a compliant identity provider to revoke Auth0 user sessions, revoke refresh tokens, and trigger back-channel logout for applications using a secure back-channel.

This feature can be used with Okta’s Universal Logout.

For more information and configuration instructions, see Universal Logout.
