Features

---

Alternative Root Tenant Authority

If you are attempting to work on labs for Layer0 based cloud environments, you can tell the extension to use an alternate root tenant by passing the following environment variables.

• VSCODE_EXTENSION_ISSUER - Default:https://auth0.auth0.com The root tenant authority to use.
• AUTH0_VSCODE_EXTENSION_CLIENT_ID - Default: w94YV1qvYFMH2PnmFSIQVxkGJwk0tBGt The client id that was created specifically for the extension with the alternative root tenant authority.
• AUTH0_VSCODE_EXTENSION_AUDIENCE - Default: https://*.auth0.com/api/v2/ The Management API audience specific to your environment. Note: The wild card tenant segment is required. This enables the RTA to prompt the user for a specific tenant to authorize.

Contributed Commands

In addition to the visual features listed below, the Labs extension also contributes the following commands to the command palette:

• Auth0: Sign In - auth0.auth.signIn Starts the authentication process.
• Auth0: Sign Out - auth0.auth.signOut Clears all authentication tokens.
• Auth0: Switch Tenant - auth0.auth.switchTenant Clears all authentication tokens and starts the authentication process allowing the selection of a new tenant.
• Auth0: Add Application - auth0.app.add Starts a wizard to create a new client registration in the current Auth0 tenant.
• Auth0: Add API - auth0.api.add Starts a wizard to create a new resource server registration in the current Auth0 tenant.
• Auth0: Configure Lab - auth0.lab.configure Configures tenant and local environment for the current lab materials. Only available when lab materials are present in workspace.
• Auth0: Configure Local Environment - auth0.lab.localConfigure Configures local environment for the current lab materials. Only available when lab materials are present in workspace.
• Auth0: Configure Tenant Resources - auth0.lab.tenantConfigure Configures tenant for the current lab materials. Only available when lab materials are present in workspace.
• Auth0: Export Tenant - auth0.exportTenant Exports tenant configuration yml to the root directory. This exports everything and needs to be edited down for a lab.
• Auth0: Open Endpoint Url - auth0.lab.openEndpointByName?["Endpoint 1, Endpoint 2"] Opens the URL associated with a specific named endpoint in the default browser. Multiple endpoints can be opened by supplying a comma-separated list. Only available when lab materials are present in the workspace.
• Auth0: Run Post Configure Command auth0.lab.postConfigureCommand Allows you to specify the path of a shell script in environment.json (i.e., "postConfigureCommand": "<script-path>"), that will execute upon configuration completion. Enables you to run a script to perform actions like storing values client id and client secret as secrets in the environment. This command currently has access to the following environment variables:
  • AUTH0_DOMAIN: Your Auth0 domain URI
  • AUTH0_TOKEN: The access token issued to your client from the authorization server.

Auth0 Deploy CLI Keyword Replacement

This extension uses the Auth0 Deploy CLI, which makes it possible to leverage environment-specific keyword replacement in resource files (e.g., yml and json). These are the current keywords supported:

• CODESPACE_NAME: Returns the domain of the GitHub Codespaces forwarded port. For example, app.github.dev (when using a Codespaces environment)
• GITHUB_CODESPACES_PORT_FORWARDING_DOMAIN: Returns the name of the GitHub Codespace (when using a Codespaces environment)
• AUTH0_DOMAIN: Your Auth0 domain URI

Authenticating

The first thing to do is connect to your Auth0 account.

You can also log out, or switch your selected tenant

Managing Auth0 Resources

From within VSCode, you can now:

View your Applications and APIs, and also see or copy their pertinent details into your code

Create or Update Applications, including setting up your applications to use a local callback URL for development purposes

Advanced Auth0 Resource Updates

You can also take advantage of our yaml configuration integration to make more complex changes to your Auth0 resources, then deploy them right from within VSCode.

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.
