Configuring Auth0 authentication

This is a configuration guide for integrating Auth0 with an ACE environment for developer authorization.

Auth0 setup​

Create an Auth0 application​

First, create the "Regular Web Application" application from Auth0 and navigate to the application settings.

Create the application

Configure application settings​

From the application settings page it is necessary to configure the following fields:

  • Allow Callback URLs - set to https://<app-domain>/auth/oidc/callback
  • Allowed Logout URLs - set to https://<app-domain>/auth/oidc/logout, https://<app-domain>/auth/oidc/logout/callback

Make sure to replace <domain> with your respective ACE domain (e.g., https://myace.app.com/auth/oidc/logout for the domain myace.app.com).

Finally, write down the Domain, Client ID and Client Secret for use in the following step.

The application settings

Create an API​

Create an API from Auth0 and write down the Identifier you choose for the API.

Create an API

Configure ACE environment variables​

Configure the necessary variables described here using the values noted in the guide:

  • Assign Domain to ACE_OIDC_ISSUER_BASE_URL in ace-designer, ace-runtime-server services.
  • Assign Identifier to ACE_OIDC_AUDIENCE in ace-designer, ace-runtime-server services.
  • Assign Client ID to ACE_OIDC_CLIENT_ID in ace-designer.
  • Assign Client Secret to ACE_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET in ace-designer.

Additional configuration​

After following the previous steps, ACE should be successfully configured to use with Auth0. Going forward, configure necessary connections (Github, Gmail, etc.) from the Auth0 Connections tab and use it to authenticate as an ACE user.
