Using Auth0 with .NET Aspire

Last Updated: Feb 20, 2026

Overview

The expectation of the client is to use .NET Aspire with Auth0. The Aspire stack is delivered through a collection of NuGet packages that handle specific cloud-native concerns using a micro service architecture. .NET Aspire was recently released in May 21st, 2024 to the general public.

Cause

.NET Aspire does not offer built-in support for handling authentication/authorization with any Identity Provider. There are additional steps to take with Aspire for any authentication to work as expected.

Solution

When utilizing .NET Aspire, Auth0 is implemented through an ASP.NET Core application. Here is the quickstart documentation on how to integrate Auth0 with an ASP.NET Core application.
