Auth0 (Okta Customer Id), invalid_request_uri

The request URI is invalid or not allowed.

Understanding Auth0 (Okta Customer Id)

Auth0, now part of Okta, is a flexible, drop-in solution to add authentication and authorization services to your applications. It provides a comprehensive platform for managing user identities, including single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and user management. Auth0 is widely used by developers to secure applications and APIs, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive resources.

Identifying the Symptom: invalid_request_uri

When integrating Auth0 into your application, you might encounter the invalid_request_uri error. This error typically manifests when attempting to authenticate users or access resources, and it indicates that the request URI being used is not valid or not allowed by the Auth0 configuration.

Common Observations

  • Authentication requests fail with an error message.
  • Logs show an invalid_request_uri error code.
  • Users are unable to log in or access certain resources.

Exploring the Issue: What is invalid_request_uri?

The invalid_request_uri error occurs when the URI specified in the authentication request does not match any of the allowed URIs configured in the Auth0 dashboard. This mismatch can happen due to typos, incorrect configurations, or changes in the application’s URL structure.

Root Causes

  • The request URI is not listed in the allowed callback URLs in the Auth0 dashboard.
  • There is a typo or formatting error in the URI.
  • The application’s URL has changed, but the Auth0 configuration has not been updated.

Steps to Fix the invalid_request_uri Issue

To resolve the invalid_request_uri error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify the Request URI

Ensure that the request URI being used in your application matches exactly with the allowed URIs configured in the Auth0 dashboard. Pay attention to details such as protocol (http vs. https), subdomains, and trailing slashes.

Step 2: Update Allowed Callback URLs

Log in to your Auth0 dashboard and navigate to the application settings. Under the 'Allowed Callback URLs' section, add or update the URIs to include the correct request URI. Ensure that each URI is on a new line.

Step 3: Test the Configuration

After updating the URIs, test the authentication flow in your application to ensure that the error is resolved. If the issue persists, double-check the URIs for any discrepancies.

Additional Resources

For more information on configuring URIs in Auth0, refer to the Auth0 documentation. If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to Auth0 Community for support.
