OAuth0 is one of the OAuth2 SSO methods. Click here to learn more about how OAuth2 SSO works and what other OAuth2 SSO methods Bettermode supports.

Required credentials for setting up Auth0 SSO

Client ID:* An alphanumeric string publicly exposed and used by the service API to identify the application. This is also used to build authorization URLs that are presented to users.
Client Secret:* A secret known only to the application and the authorization server. It protects the resources by only granting tokens to authorized requestors.
Auth0 Domain:* Domain URL of your SSO provider.
Login Button Text:* Text defined here will appear on the login page for the users. You can insert any text. For example: Login with ABC
Callback URL: The URL a browser redirects to once the process of Authentication is complete.
