JWT Validation with Auth0 and Kong

To get setup with Auth0 and Kong.

Kong is pretty cool. Auth0 is pretty cool. They should work together. This guide details the fastest way to get your APIs protected using JWT tokens issued by Auth0.

Pre-requisites:

  • Create a Auth0 account. Account name is referred to "COMPANYNAME" for the sake of the guide.
  • Setup a Kong instance on your machine. This guide assumes a brand new blank instance.
  • Install httpie - a http command line utility built for humans (unlike curl).
