Connect Backendless with Auth0?

User Service
1

Hi all,

Like the title. Can I connect Auth0 as a “login provider”?

I am trying to add it under users>login providers. I think I have all the right values filled in, but I am not sure on the “default mapping” and the “token scope”. What values must be given there?

Is there any thoughts on connecting Backendless to Auth0 in the future?

Hello @overcardio,

Default mappings – a mapping of user properties between the OAuth provider and Backendless.
The mapping must be represented as JSON.
For example, I use my custom provider, which returns me data in the following form:

{
    my_email: 'foo",
    my_password: "bar"
}

But Backednless User doesn’t have columns like my_email or my_password , he has email and password so we need to map this data.
That is how it should look map file in this case:

{
   my_password: 'password',
   my_email: 'email'
}

In case you don’t want to do any customization, you need to specify the mapping to at least get the identity field.

{"email": "email"}

The description of token scope can be found here:
