From 42647a2e587c4e43526d19c5571a144364e97b3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matias Woloski Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 18:38:49 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] Add auth0 on Similar Software list great work with dex guys! I remember talking to some of you back a year ago for using Auth0 internally for your products but you had some special requirements and it didn't work out. We are using CoreOS extensibly on our product for code sandboxing (https://medium.com/aws-activate-startup-blog/sandboxing-code-in-the-era-of-containers-294edb3a674) and we love it. Since you are listing similar software, I thought adding Auth0 would make sense, here. Writing a post on our blog about chaining dex with Auth0 would be nice as well. --- README.md | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 525640c1..409a49b4 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -85,6 +85,12 @@ For running the full stack check out the [getting started guide][getting-started ## Similar Software +### [Auth0](https://auth0.com) + +Auth0 is a commercial product which implements the OpenID Connect protocol and [JWT](http://jwt.io).
