Kong is pretty cool. Auth0 is pretty cool. They should work together. This guide details the fastest way to get your APIs protected using JWT tokens issued by Auth0.
Pre-requisites:
- Create a Auth0 account. Account name is referred to "COMPANYNAME" for the sake of the guide.
- Setup a Kong instance on your machine. This guide assumes a brand new blank instance.
- Install httpie - a http command line utility built for humans (unlike curl).
