Overview
If a specific identity provider or service isn’t available out of the box, Auth0 allows you to create custom social connections. This is particularly useful for integrating with proprietary systems, regional services, or specialized OAuth2 providers. To learn more and configure a custom OAuth2 connection with Auth0, see our Connect Apps to Generic OAuth2 Authorization Servers documentation.Configure Connected Accounts for Token Vault
After creating the connection, in the Purpose section, toggle on Connected Accounts for Token Vault. This allows your connection to retrieve and securely store access tokens for external APIs. To learn more, read Connected Accounts for Token Vault.If your application uses Organizations, authenticate the user with the target organization before initiating the Connected Accounts flow. Token Vault still stores the connected account on the user’s Auth0 profile, so each organization member authorizes their own external account.
