Hi, I browsed similar questions but no luck. We are building a SPA (Single Page App) which uses React.js on frontend and Node.js on backend and we want to authenticate our users upon successful registration. For the registration, we are creating user accounts through our backend using Auth0 manag…

There was no issue with audience. I just commented out headers in my Axios call options and it all just started working as expected.

Is it possible for someone to help me out with this?

Hi @assadullahch , Friendly tip: If you respond to your own post it removes it from the unanswered queue and it is likely to go unanswered.

Great let us know if you have any other questions.
