01-Login

Example From

Example repo from the many samples at https://github.com/auth0-samples

• Node and Express - Regular Web App
• This repo has just the 01-Login folder, adjusted for Heroku deployment.

Running the Sample

Install the dependencies.

npm install

Rename .env.example to .env and replace the values for AUTH0_CLIENT_ID, AUTH0_DOMAIN, and AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET with your Auth0 credentials. If you don't yet have an Auth0 account, sign up for free.

# copy configuration and replace with your own
cp .env.example .env

If you're using a hosting provider that uses a proxy in front of Node.js, comment in the trust proxy configuration in app.js. This is a express-session configuration setting that allows for trusting this first proxy.

Run the app.

npm start

The app will be served at localhost:3000.

Two Environments

1. Run locally (on our machine)
2. Run on the web (hosted with Heroku).

Two Ways To Set Configuration

Our configuration information is secret - we manage our config variables differently:

1. Locally, set them in .env (and make sure you add .env to .gitignore). If accidentally committed, remove it from the repo.
2. On Heroku, in Settings / Reveal Config Vars / add and edit to provide the information.

AUTH0_CALLBACK_URL=http://localhost:3000/callback
AUTH0_CLIENT_ID={CLIENT_ID}
AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET={CLIENT_SECRET}
AUTH0_DOMAIN={DOMAIN}

Running the Sample With Docker

In order to run the example with docker you need to have docker installed.

You also need to set the environment variables as explained previously.

Execute in command line sh exec.sh to run the Docker in Linux, or .\exec.ps1 to run the Docker in Windows.

What is Auth0?

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.

Create a free account in Auth0

1. Go to Auth0 and click Sign Up.
2. Use Google, GitHub or Microsoft Account to login.
