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 “C1”.

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 C1 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 C1 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.

Done. 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 C1
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 C1.

In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.

Search for Auth0 and click Add.

Choose where to add the connector: Create a new app, or Add to an existing app (then select the app).If you’re creating a new app, choose whether to link it to an application discovered from your identity provider: select Yes and pick the IdP application, or No to continue with just the connector.

Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.

Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.

Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.

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.

Done. Your Auth0 connector is now pulling access data into C1.

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 C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

Step 1: Set up a new Auth0 connector

In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.

Search for Baton and click Add.

Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.

Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.

Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.

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:
  # C1 credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 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 C1 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: public.ecr.aws/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 C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.

Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click Apps. 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.

Done. Your Auth0 connector is now pulling access data into C1.
