Architecture Scenarios
This page describes the typical architecture scenarios we have identified when working with customers on implementing Auth0.
Step 1: Create Your API Management Instance
Application configurations
These scenarios describe the different type of technology architectures your application may use, and how Auth0 can help for each of those.
The goal of these scenarios is to walk you through the implementation process from beginning to end.
-
Single Sign-On for Regular Web Apps
Traditional web application which needs to authenticate users using Access TokensOpenID Connect (OIDC).
-
Server Application + API
Server to server communication where a server needs to make secure calls to an API.
-
SPA + API
Single-Page Web Application which talks to an API. The application will use OpenID Connect with the Implicit Grant Flow to authenticate users with Auth0.
