June 25 Auth0 Community Ask Me Anything: Multiple Custom Domains

Community News Community AMA Series

End-users could login from different domains through a single tenant deployment that supports multiple custom domains for these sites using a common custom DB connection.

In myDisney example, we make it possible to have all the following sample domains to authenticate with one credential:

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the questions.
Different customers could have regional/regulatory/branding needs to have multiple custom domains. Having this capability over a single tenant allows customers to leverage the same DB connections, Enterprise connections, etc. across the different domains. Admin overhead for creating and maintaining multiple tenants could be avoided this way. However if such commonalities are not desired and mutually exclusive sets of DB/enterprise connections need to be leveraged, separate tenants will be required.

Forgive my ignorance (newbie to this community) but where are Pawan’s answers to the following topics?

Thanks for the response, I would like to ask a follow-up question.

Now, let’s pretend that today all these hulu, espn and disneyplus services have their own identity stores. As an example: jennifer@acme.com exists in all 3 different stores as 3 distinct credentials. Now, if Disney’s intent is to follow your direction of having 1 tenant and 1 custom DB connection, how would you propose Disney migrates to your solution? Please provide a HL sequence of events that need to take place :smiley:

hi @jennifer.mangaliman thanks for the follow-up… let me get back to you on this

Hi, not sure if it is too late to ask a question, but I was wondering if there will be a way to keep user logins in sync across multiple domains, similar to how google logins stay in sync across google.com and youtube.com, by using a series of redirects after you log in. For example:

  1. User signs in to some google app (i.e. gmail)
  2. After login, the user is redirected to accounts.google.com which sets session cookies for all google.com domains
  3. The user is then redirected to accounts.youtube.com which sets session cookies for all youtube.com domains
  4. The user is redirected back to the original app, and are now logged in.

This way, the user’s login stays in sync across domains, without relying on third party cookies or anything that might be blocked by privacy settings. Will something similar be possible with Auth0, or will users have to re-enter their login information on each domain?

I’m excited to see this long awaited feature coming!
I just created a new Auth0 tenant today but I havn’t see the early access feature for “Multi-Custom Domains” yet, has it been deployed to public cloud tenants yet or should I make a request before getting early access? Thank you.

hi Joe, we had a slight delay in announcing the Early Access availability. It’s planned to be done next week (July 15th). Please reach out to us through the support channel to enable this for your Auth0 tenant post EA. Please note this capability will be available to Enterprise customers only. Thanks.

Hi Morgan, thanks for the note.
As of now we do not support the login sync across domains. We will keep this in consideration for future evolution though.

hi Jennifer,

It took a bit to get back to you; thanks for understanding.

This user store merge case is fit for our Professional services to assist with. If you’ve a need for this, please open a request for further help.

Best regards,
Pawan
