How to configure Auth0 for authentication

There are two authentication backends supported for Spoke. The first and default is using https://auth0.com. This service allows support for e.g. Google authentication and others, and supports things like password resets and account management separate from Spoke.

The alternative and default for development environments is local login, where passwords are hashed locally in the database and resets, etc are administered all within Spoke. While good for development, we believe Auth0 still provides better security for production environments. Below are the steps to configure Spoke for Auth0.

Configuration Steps

  1. First configure the environment variable PASSPORT_STRATEGY=auth0 in .env or wherever to configure Spoke environment variables.
  2. Create an Auth0 account. In your Auth0 account, go to Applications, click on Default App and then grab your Client ID, Client Secret, and your Auth0 domain (should look like xxx.auth0.com). Add those inside your .env file (AUTH0_CLIENT_ID, AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET, AUTH0_DOMAIN respectively).
  3. Run yarn dev to create and populate the tables.
  4. In your Auth0 app settings, set the following (Note: for development use http://localhost:3000 instead of https://yourspoke.example.com):
    • Allowed Callback URLs - https://yourspoke.example.com/login-callback
    • Allowed Web Origins - https://yourspoke.example.com
    • Allowed Logout URLs - https://yourspoke.example.com/logout-callback
    • Allowed Origins (CORS) - https://yourspoke.example.com
  5. In Advanced Settings, under the OAuth section, turn off 'OIDC Conformant'.
  6. Add a new empty rule in Auth0:
function (user, context, callback) {
context.idToken["https://spoke/user_metadata"] = user.user_metadata;
callback(null, user, context);
}

  1. Update the Auth0 Universal Landing page, click on the Customize Login Page toggle, and copy and paste following code in the drop down into the Default Templates space:
