Overview
This n8n workflow streamlines the process of validating Auth0 JWT tokens by leveraging either JSON Web Key Sets (JWKS) or public signing certificates. It is designed to securely authenticate incoming API requests and ensure only authorized access to protected resources.
Key Features
- Webhook Integration: Listens for incoming HTTP requests containing JWT tokens.
- Dual Validation Methods: Supports both JWKS (JWK-RSA) and public certificate validation for flexibility.
- Automated Response Handling: Returns appropriate HTTP responses (200 OK or 401 Unauthorized) based on token validity.
- No-Op Nodes: Ensures smooth workflow transitions and error handling.
Benefits
- Enhanced Security: Automates robust JWT validation, reducing manual errors and improving API security.
- Time Savings: Eliminates the need for custom code in each application, centralizing authentication logic.
- Scalability: Easily adapts to different Auth0 configurations and validation requirements.
Use Cases
- API Gateways: Securely validate tokens for microservices or serverless endpoints.
- Integration Layers: Authenticate requests between internal or third-party systems.
- Custom Applications: Add a security layer to web or mobile apps using Auth0 authentication.
Integrations & Processes
- Auth0: Utilizes Auth0's JWKS endpoint or public certificate for signature verification.
- Webhooks: Handles real-time HTTP requests and responses for seamless integration with external services.
