How to make a username password request with auth0 custom api, getting error “unsupported grant type: password” error

问题

I tried using the auth0 postman template to make an authentication request using username and password and I'm getting an unsupported grant type: password error. What am I doing wrong?

var client = new RestClient("https://test.auth0.com/oauth/token");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("postman-token", "abc");
request.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddParameter("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "grant_type=password&client_id=foo&audience=&username=test&password=test&scope=openid%20email%20picture%20nickname", ParameterType.RequestBody);

回答1:

Log into the Auth0 dashboard
Go to account settings (top right under your username)
On the general tab scroll down to the API Authorization Settings section
Default Audience would be your API identifier (if you have an API)
Default Directory would be your connection such as database connection name

In your POST to oauth/token do not include audience (if you specified the default above).

Gotta love how Auth0 makes authentication easy and painfully hard at the same time.

Refer below screenshot as a reference.

These are the exact steps I have taken in order to resolve this exact issue

Scroll down to API Authorization Settings

Enter valid values in BOTH Default Audience, and Default Directory.

For example, for me I already had been using the Lock screen, and had already setup a Default Audience which I was setting in my client application and everything was working.

I also had already setup a Connections > Database, with the name of Username-Password-Authentication.

Here is a screenshot of it working after doing the above, using the postman collection , which at the time of writing, is contained here

Go to Default App > Settings >

In the bottom of settings, Click {Show Advanced Settings}

Select Grant Types Tab

Check the password which is unchecked by default

Post request to *//oauth/token and it works
