Version 14.0.9 - 2026/09/22 

This release fixes two failures of the backend login that both stayed invisible: one that hits every installation running behind a caching proxy, and one that has kept the per-application signature algorithm from having any effect since 2022.

Fixed 

  • The backend login no longer fails behind a caching proxy: the callback returned the Auth0 session as Set-Cookie headers but declared no cache directives at all. An intermediary was therefore free to treat the response as storable — and a storable response may not carry per-user cookies, so it stripped them. The browser arrived back at the login screen without a session and was offered the Auth0 button again, with nothing indicating that anything had gone wrong. Every response CallbackMiddleware returns now declares Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, max-age=0 together with Pragma: no-cache. All of them, not just the successful exchange: they share a redirect target and an intermediary cannot tell them apart.
  • The signature algorithm configured on an application takes effect again: ApplicationFactory passed it to the SDK as id_token_alg, which was the option's name in Auth0 SDK 7. The migration to SDK 8 in v13.0.0 carried the key over unchanged, but SDK 8 calls it tokenAlgorithm and skips configuration keys it does not know without a word. Identity tokens have been verified with the default RS256 ever since, whatever the record said, so installations whose tenant signs with a shared secret could not log in at all — the login failed with "Expected token signed with RS256 algorithm, but token uses HS256", an error pointing at the tenant rather than at the extension.
  • A failed authorization code exchange is reported instead of hidden: it returned the same redirect as a successful one, so a broken login was indistinguishable from one that was never started. The login screen now states that the login failed, and the underlying cause is logged at error level instead of warning. The cause is deliberately not carried in the URL, where the user could read, copy and share it.

Changed 

  • An application without a usable signature algorithm falls back to RS256: Application::setSignatureAlgorithm() normalises anything that is neither RS256 nor HS256. A record predating the field, or one edited outside the backend form, would otherwise hand the SDK a value it rejects and the connection could not be built at all.

Upgrade Notes 

  • No database migration is required, and existing Auth0 sessions stay valid.
  • Check the signature algorithm on your application records. The field states how your Auth0 tenant signs identity tokens; it does not switch anything. Since it had no effect, a record may carry a value that does not match the tenant without anyone noticing. A record set to HS256 against a tenant that signs with RS256 worked only because the setting was discarded and will stop working now. The tenant's algorithm is shown in the Auth0 dashboard under the application's advanced settings; the record must name the same one.
  • Installations whose tenant signs with HS256 and whose backend login has been failing since v13.0.0 need no change beyond updating — this release is the fix.
  • If a caching proxy or CDN sits in front of the installation, /auth0/callback needs no special treatment any more. An intermediary that ignores cache directives still has to be told to pass the path through, the same way /typo3/ usually already is.
