Connect Your Auth0 Application with Okta Enterprise Connection
Before you start
You'll need:
An application registered in Auth0.
An Okta workforce account and your Okta domain.
If you do not have previously configured applications in Auth0 or Okta, review the following documentation to get started:
The Okta Workforce Identity Provider Connection is now available for all Auth0 users. The Okta Enterprise Connection allows Auth0 customers to implement Okta as their IdP for their customers as an officially supported integration. The Okta Enterprise connection aims to help customers using Auth0 with their customer identity management and Okta for their workforce identity management. This integration enables customers of both Auth0 and Okta better to manage their identity spaces with a streamlined connection.
In this article, you will enable and configure the Okta Enterprise Connection in your Auth0 environment.
The Auth0 Okta Enterprise Connection relies on OIDC Connect scopes to authorize access to user details.
Auth0 limits the scope of user data to the openID Profile data of the Okta user. For more information on OIDC Connect scopes, review the Auth0 documentation.

To connect your Okta tenant as an identity Provider in Auth0, you must create an OIDC application. In your Okta Admin Dashboard, create a new application.
Select Applications > Applications, and Create App Integration.
Select Create New App.
Choose OIDC as the Sign-in method. Choose Web Application as your Application Type.
Select Next.
Enter your App integration name.

Select Create and find your Client ID and Client Secret fields. You will use these in the Auth0 Management Dashboard to configure your Okta Connection.
Add a test user to your Okta application
