Overview
This article explains the following error that occurs when attempting to enable a domain connection for a third-party application:
Client <client_id> isn’t first party. Only first-party clients can be enabled for a connection.
Applies To
- Third-Party Applications
- Domain Connections
Cause
This behavior is expected. An application designated as “third-party” is designed to use only domain-level connections, which are enabled implicitly.
Solution
No action is required to enable the connection for a third-party client. When the connection is a domain connection and the application is a third-party application, the connection is enabled by default. The Auth0 dashboard does not explicitly show this status because the connection is enabled implicitly. Third-party clients will automatically use the domain connections.
