Enable Express Configuration

Identity Engine

This guide walks you through how to enable Express Configuration for your Auth0-enabled

OIN integration and verify the setup to ensure successful integration.

What you need

Authenticate with Auth0 CLI

To get started with Express Configuration, you need to authenticate with the Auth0 CLI (opens new window). This establishes a connection between your app environment and your Auth0 tenant. Run the following command to authenticate with the Auth0 CLI with the right scopes.

Configure roles and permissions

Follow these steps to configure the roles and permissions required for managing Express Configuration.

Assign permissions to the role

Create and assign Client Credentials

Assign Client Credentials to the Okta OIN Integration Client

Use this Client Credentials to authorize the Okta OIN Integration Client to access the Auth0 Management API with defined scopes. The OIN can use the token that's returned to create and manage connections on behalf of the orgs. The scopes (create:connection, update:connection, and so on) securely allow your Auth0 tenant's Management API to create and update Okta Workforce connections (opens new window).

Email the Okta Express Configuration team

Email the following information to the Okta Express Configuration team at expressconfig@okta.com:

  • Confirmation that you completed all the steps in this guide and that your app is ready to support Express Configuration.
  • Your app name in the OIN
  • Okta OIN Integration Client app client ID

The Okta Express Configuration team configures your app in the OIN and then assigns it to your Okta Integrator Free Plan org.

You can test the feature by creating an instance of your app in the OIN catalog.

Verification and testing

Follow these steps to verify and test the Express Configuration feature:

  1. Sign in to your org as a user with either the super admin (SUPER_ADMIN) role, or the app (APP_ADMIN) and org (ORG_ADMIN) admin roles (opens new window).
  2. Go to Applications > Applications in the Admin Console.
