Rocket app that authenticates users with Auth0

OAuth with Rocket + Auth0

A basic app that integrates with Auth0.

Configuration

Copy the example Rocket.toml file

cp Rocket.toml.example Rocket.toml

Edit the client_id, redirect_uri, and auth0_domain with your own values.

If you want to use tls, run our provided script to create certs (needs Go installed)

./generate-cert.sh

You must also set AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET in your environment. We use an env var to avoid leaking our secret key to the console during startup.

All values should be available from from Auth0's management console for your application.
