Is there a way to pass the username and password to an external source for verification. To be able to program our own authentication logic would be best so that we could use our current authentication logic instead of moving all our apps over at once to Auth0.
Hi @bluebaron
Welcome to the Auth0 Community!
Thank you for posting your question. You can’t fully move the authentication logic to the 3rd party; the only option that I can think of is to:
- Extend the signup process with the per-user registration action → https://auth0.com/docs/customize/actions/explore-triggers/signup-and-login-triggers/pre-user-registration-trigger to ask the 3rd party system for and deny the registration process
- Use the post-login action to send the information to an external system or redirect the user to your application (or other place) for further authentication, but in both examples, the user need to be authenticated by auth0 first → https://auth0.com/docs/customize/actions/explore-triggers/signup-and-login-triggers/login-trigger
However, I would encourage you to open a new thread in the Product Feedback category explaining your use case and what you would like to achieve.
Thanks
