Include an Upstream 'Nonce' Parameter with OIDC Connections

Overview

An external identity provider may require an upstream nonce parameter to be sent in the request to the authorization endpoint from an OIDC connection in Auth0.

Applies To

  • OIDC Enterprise Connections

Cause

If a nonce parameter appears to be missing, it is likely because the OIDC connection is set to ‘Back Channel’.

Solution

At the moment, a nonce is not included as an upstream parameter for OIDC connections set to ‘Back Channel’. The only way to include a nonce is to use the Front Channel setting.
