In this Okta Training hands-on lab, you will learn how to call your API from an M2M application using the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials grant with Auth0.
-
A GitHub account with Codespaces access (you can use the free plan, which gives you 60 hours of use per month). Create a free account here if you do not already have one.
⚠️ Note to internal Okta employees: Do NOT use your EMU (Enterprise-managed user) account since Codespaces are disabled. -
An Auth0 account: You'll also need an Auth0 account. You should use a new account for our labs so that you have a fresh tenant. Register for one here.
- After logging into GitHub, open the lab repo in a Codespace: From the Code dropdown menu of this branch, toggle to the Codespaces tab. Click the plus sign to create and open the lab in a Codespace. A new tab will open, and Codespaces will begin configuring the lab environment. Wait for the environment to finish building.
- Begin working with the lab: Once the environment is ready you'll see a Codetour popup with instructions for connecting the lab to your Auth0 account. This can take some time, as the environment is installing several extensions and libraries to facilitate the lab. Once it is complete, you can open the Codetour to view all steps using the panel in the lower right. At this point, you should follow the remainder of the instructions within Codetour!
- If you'd like to save your work to your own fork: You can commit and push your changes to a fork of this repo. (See: Using Source Control in Your Codespace).
- Close the Codespace when you're finished with the lab: Codespaces come with a set amount of free usage. To avoid using all of your free use allocation, be sure to return to the forked repo, select the "Code" dropdown, select the dots next to your open Codespace, and select "Delete." This will not delete your forked repository. You can keep that forever, and open a new Codespace whenever you like.
Auth0 helps you to:
- Add authentication with multiple authentication sources, either social like Google, Facebook, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, Box, Salesforce, among others, or enterprise identity systems like Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS or any SAML Identity Provider.
- Add authentication through more traditional username/password databases.
- Add support for linking different user accounts with the same user.
- Support for generating signed JSON Web Tokens to call your APIs and flow the user identity securely.
- Analytics of how, when, and where users are logging in.
- Pull data from other sources and add it to the user profile, through JavaScript rules.
