This repository contains code that can be used as a base to initialize Auth0 in context of a Chrome Extension. The process looks like the following.
From browser_action/browser_action.html we open a new popup that contains Lock in redirect mode at login/#.html, the login.html code will intialize a new Lock based on parameters passed by browser_action allowing the same page to be used with multiple locks. The redirect_uri is set to callback/callback.html where we set the idToken if you have background events or background pages in your application you can optionally send a message to your extension with the callback and initiate a visual feedback, here we simply send a notification.
-
In chrome manifest you need to allow access to
src/callback/callback.html"web_accessible_resources": [ "src/callback/*" ]
-
You will need to allow access to your Auth0 domain and Auth0 CDN
"permissions": [ "https://chrome-extension-sample.auth0.com/*", ]
-
In content security policy, you'll need to allow, this is because Lock loads the client file from the CDN
"content_security_policy": "script-src 'self' https://cdn.auth0.com blob: filesystem: chrome-extension-resource:"
