# SSO With Auth0

This document details the steps to set up Auth0 single sign-on (SSO) to manage authentication for StrongDM.

### Steps

{% hint style="info" %}
These instructions vary based on your organization's StrongDM region (not your individual location).
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="US" %}

1. In Auth0, click **Create Application**. Name the application **StrongDM** and select **Regular Web Applications** as the application type.
2. Next, configure the application. If you are prompted to select a technology to integrate with, click **Skip Integration**. Then under the Settings tab, enter the following information depending on your tenant location:
   1. **Allowed Callback URLs:** `https://app.strongdm.com/auth/return`
   2. **Allowed Web Origins:** `https://app.strongdm.com`
3. In the **Basic Information** section, copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** values. You will need them in the next step.
4. In the StrongDM Admin UI, go to **Settings** > **User Management**. In the **Single Sign-on** section, click the lock icon to make changes. Select **Auth0** from the provider drop-down menu. Add your single sign-on URL (e.g., `https://yourorg.auth0.com`; be sure to include the `https://`), **Client ID**, and **Client Secret**.
5. Back at Auth0, confirm that the email addresses for all users are identical in both StrongDM and your SSO provider. Confirm that all users to whom you intend to grant database access have access to the StrongDM application by default.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.strongdm.com/admin/principals/sso/auth0-oidc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
