Configure Auth0 Single Sign-On (SSO) with Joomla OAuth Client Plugin

This guide will walk you through configuring our Joomla OAuth Client extension to enable secure login with Auth0. By the end of this setup, your users will be able to sign into your Joomla site using their Auth0 credentials, providing a seamless and secure Single Sign-On (SSO) experience.

This integration delegates the authentication process to Auth0, a robust identity platform. This means you can centralize user management and utilize Auth0's advanced security features directly for your Joomla site. Our extension acts as the bridge, handling the complex OAuth 2.0 protocol behind the scenes.
