*The connector can optionally sync role permissions.

Gather Auth0 credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in Auth0. Gather these credentials before you move on.

ImportantA user with the ability to create a new application in Auth0 must perform this task.

Create an Auth0 application

In Auth0, navigate to Dashboard > Applications > Applications and click Create Application.

Give the new application a name, such as “ConductorOne”.

Select the Machine to Machine Applications option and click Create.

Select the management API for your domain.

Give the application’s access token permissions:You’ll need these permissions to give ConductorOne READ access (syncing access data):

read:users
read:grants
read:organizations
read:organization_members
read:roles
read:role_members
read:resource_servers (required only if you configure the connector to sync role permissions)

You’ll need these permissions to give ConductorOne READ/WRITE access (syncing access data and provisioning access):

read:users
read:grants
read:organizations
read:organization_members
read:roles
read:role_members
update:users
create:role_members
create:organization_members

Click Authorize.

On the Application Settings page, click Settings.

Carefully copy and save the Client ID and Client Secret for the application.

That’s it! Next, move on to the connector configuration instructions.

Configure the Auth0 connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
Access to the set of Auth0 credentials generated by following the instructions above

Cloud-hosted
Self-hosted

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by ConductorOne.

In ConductorOne, navigate to Admin > Connectors and click Add connector.

Search for Auth0 and click Add.

Choose how to set up the new Auth0 connector:

Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)
Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
Create a new managed app

Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed. If you choose someone else, ConductorOne will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

Click Next.

Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

In the Base URL field, enter the base URL for your Auth0 instance in https://companyname.auth0.com format.

In the Client ID and Client Secret fields, enter the credentials.

Optional. If you want the connector to sync role permissions, enable Sync permissions.

Click Save.

The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

That’s it! Your Auth0 connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.

Follow these instructions to use the Auth0 connector, hosted and run in your own environment.When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with ConductorOne, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the ConductorOne UI for access reviews and access requests.

Step 1: Set up a new Auth0 connector

In ConductorOne, navigate to Connectors > Add connector.

Search for Baton and click Add.

Choose how to set up the new Auth0 connector:

Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)
Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
Create a new managed app

Click Next.

In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.

Click Rotate to generate a new Client ID and Secret. Carefully copy and save these credentials. We’ll use them in Step 2.

Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your Auth0 connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-auth0-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-auth0-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # ConductorOne credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <ConductorOne client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <ConductorOne client secret>
  
  # Auth0 credentials
  BATON_AUTH0_BASE_URL: <Base URL of the Auth0 instance>
  BATON_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID: <Auth0 app client ID>
  BATON_AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET: <Auth0 app client secret>

  # Optional: include if you want ConductorOne to provision access using this connector
  BATON_PROVISIONING: true

  # Optional: include if you want to sync role permissions 
  BATON_SYNC_PERMISSIONS: true

See the connector’s README or run --help to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

Deployment configuration

# baton-auth0.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-auth0
  labels:
    app: baton-auth0
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-auth0
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-auth0
        baton: true
        baton-app: auth0
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-auth0
        image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-auth0:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        env:
        - name: BATON_HOST_ID
          value: baton-auth0
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-auth0-secrets

Step 3: Deploy the connector

Create a namespace in which to run ConductorOne connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.

Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In ConductorOne, click Applications. On the Managed apps tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the Auth0 connector to. Auth0 data should be found on the Entitlements and Accounts tabs.

That’s it! Your Auth0 connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.
