The Auth0 strategy will provide the standard OmniAuth hash attributes:
:provider
- the name of the strategy, in this caseauth0
:uid
- the user identifier:info
- the result of the call to/userinfo
using OmniAuth standard attributes:credentials
- tokens requested and data:extra
- Additional info obtained from calling/userinfo
in the:raw_info
property
{
:provider => 'auth0',
:uid => 'auth0|USER_ID',
:info => {
:name => 'John Foo',
:email => '[email protected]',
:nickname => 'john',
:image => 'https://example.org/john.jpg'
},
:credentials => {
:token => 'ACCESS_TOKEN',
:expires_at => 1485373937,
:expires => true,
:refresh_token => 'REFRESH_TOKEN',
:id_token => 'JWT_ID_TOKEN',
:token_type => 'bearer',
},
:extra => {
:raw_info => {
:email => '[email protected]',
:email_verified => 'true',
:name => 'John Foo',
:picture => 'https://example.org/john.jpg',
:user_id => 'auth0|USER_ID',
:nickname => 'john',
:created_at => '2014-07-15T17:19:50.387Z'
}
}
}
To send additional parameters during login, you can specify them when you register the provider:
provider
:auth0,
ENV['AUTH0_CLIENT_ID'],
ENV['AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET'],
ENV['AUTH0_DOMAIN'],
{
authorize_params: {
scope: 'openid read:users write:order',
audience: 'https://mydomain/api',
max_age: 3600 # time in seconds authentication is valid
}
}
This will tell the strategy to send those parameters on every authentication request.
In some scenarios, you may need to pass specific query parameters to /authorize
. The following parameters are available to enable this:
connection
connection_scope
prompt
screen_hint
(only relevant to New Universal Login Experience)organization
invitation
ui_locales
(only relevant to New Universal Login Experience)
Simply pass these query parameters to your OmniAuth redirect endpoint to enable their behavior.
Organizations is a set of features that provide better support for developers who build and maintain SaaS and Business-to-Business (B2B) applications.
Note that Organizations is currently only available to customers on our Enterprise and Startup subscription plans.
Logging in with an Organization is as easy as passing the parameters to the authorize endpoint. You can do this with
<%=
button_to 'Login', 'auth/auth0',
method: :post,
params: {
# Found in your Auth0 dashboard, under Organization settings:
organization: '{AUTH0_ORGANIZATION}'
}
%>
Alternatively you can configure the organization when you register the provider:
provider
:auth0,
ENV['AUTH0_CLIENT_ID'],
ENV['AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET'],
ENV['AUTH0_DOMAIN']
{
authorize_params: {
scope: 'openid read:users',
audience: 'https://{AUTH0_DOMAIN}/api',
organization: '{AUTH0_ORGANIZATION}'
}
}
When passing openid
to the scope and organization
to the authorize params, you will receive an ID token on callback with the org_id
claim. This claim is validated for you by the SDK.
When Organization login prompt is enabled on your application, but you haven't specified an Organization for the application's authorization endpoint, org_id
or org_name
claims will be present on the ID and access tokens, and should be validated to ensure that the value received is expected or known.
Normally, validating the issuer would be enough to ensure that the token was issued by Auth0, and this check is performed by the SDK. However, in the case of organizations, additional checks should be made so that the organization within an Auth0 tenant is expected.
In particular, the org_id
and org_name
claims should be checked to ensure it is a value that is already known to the application. This could be validated against a known list of organization IDs, or perhaps checked in conjunction with the current request URL. e.g. the sub-domain may hint at what organization should be used to validate the ID Token. For org_id
, this should be a case-sensitive, exact match check. For org_name
, this should be a case-insentive check.
The decision to validate the org_id
or org_name
claim is determined by the expected organization ID or name having an org_
prefix.
Here is an example using it in your callback
method
def callback
claims = request.env['omniauth.auth']['extra']['raw_info']
validate_as_id = expected_org.start_with?('org_')
if validate_as_id
if claims["org_id"] && claims["org_id"] !== expected_org
redirect_to '/unauthorized', status: 401
else
session[:userinfo] = claims
redirect_to '/dashboard'
end
else
if claims["org_name"] && claims["org_name"].downcase !== expected_org.downcase
redirect_to '/unauthorized', status: 401
else
session[:userinfo] = claims
redirect_to '/dashboard'
end
end
end
For more information, please read Work with Tokens and Organizations on Auth0 Docs.
Auth0 Organizations allow users to be invited using emailed links, which will direct a user back to your application. The URL the user will arrive at is based on your configured Application Login URI
, which you can change from your Application's settings inside the Auth0 dashboard.
When the user arrives at your application using an invite link, you can expect three query parameters to be provided: invitation
, organization
, and organization_name
. These will always be delivered using a GET request.
You can then supply those parametrs to a button_to
or link_to
helper
<%=
button_to 'Login', 'auth/auth0',
method: :post,
params: {
organization: '{YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID}',
invitation: '{INVITE_CODE}'
}
%>
