Descope Authentication Hosting App

This is a React web application that runs Descope's login flows according to the project created in your Descope account.

Deployment

By default, the app is deployed to the Descope hosting page in https://auth.descope.io.
The main purpose is to allow easy integration for descopers implementing authentication with Descope (such as OIDC use case).

In case you want to have your own hosted page (customize styling, your own domain, etc.), you can use this repository as a template, do the relevant modification and host it (using Vercel, etc.)

Open ID Connect (OIDC) use cases in Descope

Descope allows you to integrate with your existing Identity Provider (IdP) via OpenID Connect (OIDC) or with any deployed OIDC client.
With this implementation, you can seamlessly add Descope authentication to your application utilizing any OIDC provider.

You can refer to either the main documentation on how to set it up, or you can review a few of the tutorials published that showcase how to use Descope with many major existing identity providers:

• Auth0
• Cognito
• Firebase
• Salesforce

Running locally

• yarn install
• yarn start
• Go to http://localhost:3000/<PROJECT_ID>

Using URL params

• Descope's deployment: https://auth.descope.io/<PROJECT_ID>
• Locally: http://localhost:3000/<PROJECT_ID>?flow=sign-in&debug=true

These are the different query parameters you can use:

1. <PROJECT_ID> as part of the URL path is required to use the desired Descope's PROJECT_ID.

2. flow query parameter is optional. If none provided the default flow is sign-up-or-in.

3. tenant query parameter is optional. You can input a Tenant ID or Tenant Domain to use with this query parameter (e.g. tenant=descope.com or tenant=T2UjlUN1tJsRnrV3jnAkJ3WziaEq).

If present, then you will be able to authenticate via SSO, without having to first specify an email with an input screen in your flow.

4. debug query parameter is optional. If debug mode is needed use debug=true.

5. bg query parameter is optional. If you wish to use a different background color, you can use this parameter. (ex. bg=black or bg=gray)

6. wide query parameter is optional. If wide mode is nedded use wide=true. This will widen the flow component that is rendered, which is used for large forms made with Flow screens.

Using .env

In case you don't want to provide the project ID as part of the URL, you can specify it as an environment variable DESCOPE_PROJECT_ID.
You can use .env file for that.
From the project root directory run: cp .env.example .env, and set your Descope Project and flow IDs.
