Applications Configuration

Applications in AuthAction represent your client apps (web, mobile, or backend services) that use AuthAction for authentication. This guide covers creating applications and configuring their settings.

Application Types

Type	Description	Use Case
Single Page Application (SPA)	Public client for web apps	React, Angular, Vue, Next.js, or other frontend frameworks
Machine-to-Machine (M2M)	Confidential client for backend services	APIs, scripts, server-side integrations

Creating an Application

1. Log in to the AuthAction Dashboard.
2. Select your tenant.
3. Navigate to Applications in the sidebar.
4. Click Create Application.
5. Enter a name and select the application type (SPA or M2M).
6. Save the application.

Configuring Callback URLs (SPA)

For SPA applications, configure the following:

• Redirect URI: Where users are sent after login (e.g. http://localhost:3000/callback or https://myapp.com/callback).
• Logout Redirect URI: Where users are sent after logout (e.g. http://localhost:3000 or https://myapp.com).

The redirect URI must exactly match the URL used in your authorization request. Wildcards may be supported depending on your tenant configuration.

Granting API Access (M2M)

For M2M applications that call the Management API or other APIs:

1. Open the application settings.
2. Go to the API Server or APIs tab.
3. Enable access to the required API resources (e.g. AuthAction Management API).
4. Save the changes.

Enabling Connections

Link your application to the authentication methods you want to support:

• Database Connection: Enable the database connection for email/password or passkey sign-in.
• Social Connections: Enable Google, GitHub, and other providers as needed.
