The OpenID Connect (OIDC) connection allows you to integrate with any identity provider that supports the OpenID Connect standard, providing flexibility for custom integrations.

​
Overview

OpenID Connect is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It allows your application to verify the identity of users and obtain basic profile information in an interoperable and REST-like manner. To learn more and configure a custom OIDC connection with Auth0, see our Connect to OpenID Connect Identity Provider documentation.

Configure Token Vault

You will need to configure your connection so it can retrieve and store access tokens for third-party APIs. Auth0’s Token Vault organizes the access and refresh tokens of federated connections in secure tokensets. Applications can then access the Token Vault to retrieve access tokens to call third-party APIs. To learn more, read Configure Token Vault.
