Scale Agent-to-app Connections with Cross App Access

Integrating AI agents often relies on static API keys or forces repetitive user consent screens, creating massive security blind spots for enterprise IT teams. To solve this, Auth0 supports the Cross App Access (XAA) protocol. This learning path provides an early adopter guide for developers to establish secure enterprise-managed authorization using the XAA protocol. You will begin by exploring the core mechanics of XAA for resource apps, learning how to configure an Auth0 tenant to automatically accept identity assertions (ID-JAG) and configure an enterprise connection with an enterprise Identity Provider (IdP). Then, you will discover how to securely build Requesting Apps by leveraging Auth0 Token Vault as a secure broker to fetch third-party access tokens. Finally, you will validate your newly acquired expertise by completing the required assessment items to earn your skill badge.

Cross App Access (XAA) for the Resource App is in Early Access. Enterprise, B2B Pro, and B2B Essential customers can use it as a feature of Enterprise Connections. You can also try it during the trial period on Free tenants. By using this feature, you agree to the applicable Free Trial terms in Okta's Master Subscription Agreement.
