Prerequisites

Before you begin, sign up for and configure an account with Salesforce.

Get Salesforce credentials

If you have already set up a Salesforce Sandbox, set up your app in the Sandbox, and deployed the app to production, then you need to locate the app's production Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.

Alternatively, if you are setting up a new app in production, you need to create an app in Salesforce and generate credentials for it, using Salesforce's Create a Connected App documentation. During this process, Salesforce will generate a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret for your application; make note of these.

While setting up your app, use the following settings:

Field	Value to Provide
API (Enable OAuth Settings)	Click `Enable OAuth Settings`
Callback URL	`https://YOUR_DOMAIN/login/callback`
Selected OAuth Scopes	Add `Access your basic information`

Find your Auth0 domain name

If your Auth0 domain name is not shown above and you are not using our custom domains feature, your domain name is your tenant name, your regional subdomain (unless your tenant is in the US region and was created before June 2020), plus.auth0.com. For example, if your tenant name were exampleco-enterprises, your Auth0 domain name would be exampleco-enterprises.us.auth0.com and your callback URL would be https://exampleco-enterprises.us.auth0.com/login/callback. (If your tenant is in the US and was created before June 2020, then your domain name would be https://exampleco-enterprises.auth0.com.)

If you are using custom domains, your redirect URI will have the following format: https://<YOUR CUSTOM DOMAIN>/login/callback.

Find Salesforce Community's base path

Salesforce Community base paths have the following format: https://{communitydomain}.force.com/{communitybasepath} For example, if the community name is Trailblazers and the community exists for customers, the base path would be https://trailblazers.force.com/customers.

Create and enable connection in Auth0

Set up the Salesforce Community social connection in Auth0. Make sure you have the generated Consumer Key and Consumer Secret, and the Salesforce Community base path.

Besides the standard social connection settings, the Salesforce Community social connection configuration includes the following:

Setting	Description
Community Base URL	Base path for the Salesforce Community. This is the section of the community's URL that follows the domain (example: https://{communitydomain}.force.com/{communitybasepath}).

Salesforce Community Authorization URL

When you authenticate users in a Salesforce Community, you use different endpoints than the regular Salesforce app. The authorization URL is the base path plus /oauth2/authorize. For example, if the community name is Trailblazers and the community exists for customers, the authorization URL would be:

https://trailblazers.force.com/customers/oauth2/authorize?
response_type=token&
client_id=your_app_id&
redirect_uri=your_redirect_uri

You only need to configure the base path for the social connection because Auth0 automatically passes all required OAuth2 parameters (e.g., response_type, client_id) and concatenates other elements to the base path (i.e., oauth2/authorize).
