What is not working with Auth0?
When auth0 is used as authentication provider, some of the HTTP Commander features would not work :- Impersonation of end user. When Auth0 authentication enabled, HTTP Commander will work under application pool identity and all operation with file system will be performed under that identity.
It is impossible to impersonate under end user account even if you did configured Active Directory provider in Auth0.
We recommend to use Windows authentication in HTTP Commander if you need to have integration with Active directory. - WebDav. We are working to make it work with Auth0.
- Assign individual users to folder permissions in HTTP Commander. Only regular groups and regular expressions are supported at this moment. We are working to make it work.
