# Auth0 SSO

Follow the sections in this guide to set up Auth0 SSO.

<Important>

Security requirements for your **production** environment:
- **DELETE** the admin default account shipped by OM in case you had [Basic Authentication](/deployment/security/basic-auth)
  enabled before configuring the authentication with Auth0 SSO.
- **UPDATE** the Private / Public keys used for the [JWT Tokens](/deployment/security/enable-jwt-tokens). The keys we provide
  by default are aimed only for quickstart and testing purposes. They should NEVER be used in a production installation.

</Important>

## Create Service Account (optional)

This is a guide to create ingestion bot service account. This step is optional if you configure the ingestion-bot with
the JWT Token, you can follow the documentation of [Enable JWT Tokens](/deployment/security/enable-jwt-tokens).

### Step 1: Enable Client-Credential

- Go to your project dashboard.

After the applying these steps, you can update the configuration of your deployment:

<InlineCalloutContainer>
  <InlineCallout
    color="violet-70"
    icon="celebration"
    bold="Docker Security"
    href="/deployment/security/auth0/docker"
  >
    Configure Auth0 SSO for your Docker Deployment.
  </InlineCallout>
  <InlineCallout
    color="violet-70"
    icon="storage"
    bold="Bare Metal Security"
    href="/deployment/security/auth0/bare-metal"
  >
    Configure Auth0 SSO for your Bare Metal Deployment.
  </InlineCallout>
  <InlineCallout
    color="violet-70"
    icon="fit_screen"
    bold="Kubernetes Security"
    href="/deployment/security/auth0/kubernetes"
  >
    Configure Auth0 SSO for your Kubernetes Deployment.
  </InlineCallout>
</InlineCalloutContainer>

## Configure Ingestion

After everything has been set up, you will need to configure your workflows if you are running them via the 
`metadata` CLI or with any custom scheduler.

When setting up the YAML config for the connector, update the `workflowConfig` as follows:

```yaml
workflowConfig:
  openMetadataServerConfig:
    hostPort: 'http://localhost:8585/api'
    authProvider: auth0
    securityConfig:
      clientId: '{your_client_id}'
      secretKey: '{your_client_secret}'
      domain: '{your_domain}'
```
