AEM Publish Integrate with Auth0

[chetan001]

Hello Everyone,

We are planning to authenticate our AEM application through Auth0 Platform.

Anyone have information how and what configuration we have to create in AEM as cloud service instance to AuthO

@chetan001 You mean OAuth2? Please check the below documentation from Adobe

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/destinations/destination-sdk/functionali...

and blog also

it is not OAuth ,,

Hello @chetan001 

We had used server-to-server credentials to integrate AEM with Auth0. 

• Auth0 was available only as a jar, so converted it into a bundle
• Hosted Auth0 bundle in a private artifactory
• Added the Artifactory details to AEM project
• Henceforth, we were able to use the Auth0 APIs for token validation etc.

Hi Aanchal,

Thanks for reply..  could you please more eleborate on these points.

Auth0 bundle in a private artifactory  : should be embedded Autho jar in POM and then deploy to AEM ?

Should be need to create configuration file where need to put clientId and client ClientSecret

Our use case is Autho already having registered user and from AEM login page users should validate from Autho Users

Hello @chetan001 

In our case it was App-to-App, so we didn't have to use login page. We had deployed Auth0 bundle in AEM and validating the Tokens received from third-party,

Generally, when SSO is not the one driving authentication through its login page, then custom login modules can be developed

I would suggest waiting for other Advisors to confirm as I used Auth0 only for app-to-app.

Thanks Aanchal for your input.

1. what process you used to create Auth0 Bundle ?

[aanchal-sikka · Accepted solution]

Hello @chetan-vir 

There are multiple ways:

- Using Bnd : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_fuse/6.2.1/html/deploying_into_apache_ka...

- Eclipse: https://aemsimplifiedbynikhil.wordpress.com/2020/08/23/resolve-dependencies-by-converting-jar-to-bun...

- Inserting Manifest file in jar:

Hi @aanchal-sikka ,

I have been working on the auth0 integration with the AEM application and have been stuck at some dependency integrations. While the default application works with the redirects and is fine, I am facing issue with the below error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: kotlin/jvm/internal/Intrinsics

at okhttp3.HttpUrl$Companion.parse(HttpUrl.kt) [okhttp:4.10.0]

We have tried adding explicitly the kotlin bundles to repository as well and still this error happens when maven build is triggered. There is no bundle dependency issue and is active post build. The only error is at this build trigger and as a result the connection is not getting established.

Can you please suggest if any alternate methods are available to counter this? Did you face this issue while implementing in the project?
