How to configure Auth0¶

Auth0 is a flexible, drop-in solution to add authentication services to your applications. Auth0 supports OIDC and can be used to authenticate users in the Anbox Cloud Dashboard. This guide shows you how to set up Auth0 as the login provider for the dashboard.

  1. Open a free account on Auth0.com.

  2. After logging into the Auth0 web interface, from the main navigation’s Applications section, select Applications > Create application.

    • Select the type Single Page Application and click Create.

  3. Go to the Settings tab of your new application.

    • Scroll to the Allowed Callback URLs field in this tab and enter your Anbox Cloud Dashboard address, followed by /oidc/callback.

      • Example: https://example.com:8406/oidc/callback

      • An IP address can be used instead of a domain name.

      • Remember that :8406 is the default listening port and it might differ for your setup.

    • In the Allowed Logout URLs field, enter your Anbox Cloud Dashboard address.

      • Example: https://example.com:8406

    • Enable Allow Refresh Token Rotation.

    • Select Save Changes.

  4. Near the top of the Settings tab, locate the Domain field. Copy the value and prefix it with https://. This is your issuer URL.

  5. From the Settings tab and copy the Client ID.

  6. Configure the preseed YAML with the client ID and issuer URL values obtained in the previous steps.
