Auth0 Update SAML Connection encryption certs

This example shows how you can use the Auth0 Management API to update the encryption

  1. create a new private public key pair for encryption
  • openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -sha256 -out saml.crt -keyout saml.pem
  • Save these 2 files in the certs folder
  1. In the Auth0 Management Console create a new application of type Machine to Machine Applications. Call that application "Management API Client"
  • From the API drop down select the Auth0 Managemment API as the API and then authorize the "Management API Client" to have
    • read:connections, update:connections, delete:connections, create:connections scope
  1. Clone this repo

  2. Copy the client_id and secret of the client created in Step 2 and the auth0 domain ( e.g. tenant.auth0.com) into the .env.example file and rename it to .env

  3. Also copy the name of the connection from Auth0 and set the value of Connection_Name as the connection name

  4. Install the dependencies using - npm install

  5. Run the update - node index.js. This will update the connection with the new encryption key and cert and then download the metadata and share with the IDP
