These Connections allow users to log in to your application using those identities (such as log in with Google), and share their data from that application to your application. Auth0 standardizes the authentication process from various sources to simplify the integration of different identity providers. For AI agents that utilize Token Vault, Connections are essential. They allow your AI agents to securely access external APIs, such as Google Calendar or Microsoft 365, on behalf of the user. This is achieved by the user granting your application consent to access their data through these Connections. Within the Auth0 Dashboard, Connections are grouped into two categories: Social Connections allow users to log in to your application using their credentials from popular social media and consumer platforms. This provides a frictionless login experience and can enrich user profiles with additional information. Enterprise Connections are used to authenticate users against a federated corporate directory or identity provider. This is crucial for B2B applications where users need to log in with their company credentials or use single sign-on (SSO).

Create and configure the Connection

In the Auth0 Dashboard, navigate to Authentication and select the desired Social or Enterprise Connection type, and configure using the obtained Client ID and Client Secret.

Enable Token Vault on the Connection

Scroll down to the end of the page to the Advanced section and toggle Enable Token Vault and save the Connection.
