Step 1: Setting up an Account on Auth0
Before we start the integration process, you're going to need an Auth0 account. Head over to https://auth0.com/ and click on the "Sign Up" button at the top right corner of the webpage. Follow the sign-up process and create a tenant for free.
After successful signup and tenant creation, head over to the dashboard.
Step 2: Set up Auth0 Application
To integrate Auth0 with Bubble.io, you will need an OAuth application set up in Auth0. In your dashboard, navigate to Applications, then click CREATE APPLICATION. Choose a meaningful name for your application and then select Regular Web Applications as the Application type, then click CREATE.
Step 3: Configure Auth0 Application
In the Settings tab of your newly created application, you will have to fill or modify some details:
Set the Allowed Callback URLs to your Bubble app link followed by /auth0/callback
(replace Your_Bubble_Website with the actual URL): https://Your_Bubble_Website.com/auth0/callback
.
Set the Allowed Logout URLs to your Bubble app link: https://Your_Bubble_Website.com
.
Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
Step 4: Keep the Required Information Handy
Scroll down to the bottom of your Settings page and copy the Client ID and Client Secret, and retain the Domain as well. You'll need these later when you configure things at the Bubble.io end.
Step 5: Get Bubble.io Ready
Go to your Bubble.io dashboard and select your Application. Then click Settings on the left side of the page.
Open the General tab on the main page. Scroll down to the Domain & Email section. Here, you will find your app's domain. Keep this handy as well.
Then, click on the Plugins on the left side of the dashboard to go to the Plugins section.
Step 6: Add Auth0 Plugin into Bubble.io Application
Click the Add plugins button. In the search bar, look for Auth0 and you will find the Auth0 - Single Sign On SSO & Multiple Accounts plugin. Click the plugin to check it out. If it's what you're looking for, click the Install button to add the plugin to your Bubble.io Application.
Step 7: Bubble.io Configuration
After successfully adding the Auth0 Plugin in to Bubble.io application, you will see it in your plugins list. Click the plugin to configure it.
Fill in the Client ID
, Client Secret
, Domain
, Redirect URI
and App Name
which you collected earlier. The Redirect URI
will be simply https://Your_Bubble_Website.com
(replace Your_Bubble_Website with your actual URL) or you can use the one set in Allowed Callback URLs earlier /auth0/callback
.
Step 8: User Interface Design
Then, go to your app's design in Bubble.io. Here you have to design Login/Signup buttons triggering the Auth0 login.
Select the Workflow option for the login/signup buttons. Choose Plugins > Auth0 > Trigger Auth0 signup or login
option.
Step 9: Test the Integration
Now, preview your application. Click on the signup/login button that you designed. You should be redirected to Auth0's login page.
Congratulations on your successful integration of Bubble.io with Auth0! Your application now uses Auth0 for user authentication. Enjoy the added security and customization that comes with Auth0 integration!
Scenario: An online education platform wants to authenticate their users, manage user sessions, and ensure the secure access of users. They use Bubble.io to build the platform UI where students and teachers will interact. They need a robust authentication and authorization management tool to securely authenticate their own users, manage session timeouts, user roles and permissions, and track users' login history.
Solution: Integration of Bubble.io with Auth0
Platform Creation: The educational site is built on Bubble.io which offers a comprehensive range of design and functionality options for crafting the user interface (UI) of the platform.
Setting Up the Integration: The educational site installs the Auth0 plugin into Bubble.io and configures it with their Auth0 API credentials. They set up workflows in Bubble.io to trigger when a user attempts to login, register, logout, or perform actions that require specific permissions.
Authentication Workflow: When a user attempts to login or register, the workflow is triggered. Authentication requests are automatically sent to Auth0 using the configured Auth0 plugin actions. Auth0 authenticates the user credentials, creates a user session for authorized users, and returns user information and user tokens to Bubble.io.
Authorization Workflow: For tasks that require specific permissions, Bubble.io sends a request to Auth0 for an access token. Auth0 evaluates the user role and checks the user’s permissions before granting the requested access token to Bubble.io.
Logout Workflow: When a user chooses to log out, Auth0 invalidates the user's session and removes the user tokens, ensuring that the user is securely logged out.
User Tracking: With the integration, every user access event triggers an interaction that can be logged and tracked for monitoring purposes. The educational site can monitor all user interactions, including enrolment, access to courses, and teaching resources.
Benefits:
Efficiency: Automating the user authentication and authorization process saves time and minimizes the chances of errors.
Security: A secure platform safeguards critical user information. It allows the educational site to build trust and credibility with their users, knowing their data is protected.
Control: The educational site can grant, modify, or revoke access at any time. It provides control over security aspects, specifically when dealing with sensitive data.
Data Insights: User behavior within the platform is monitored and tracked. This serves as a resource for further user behavior analytics, providing insights to improve the user experience.
By integrating Bubble.io with Auth0, the educational platform can manage its user authentication and authorization securely and efficiently, enhancing the user experience and data security while gaining deeper user insights.
