d8ea041c56 docs: introduce versioned docs and migrate to fuma (#11166)
## Todos for release

- [x] Configure Env in docs project on vercel
- [x] Configure Root Path in the docs project on vercel
- [ ] Remove old CSP https://github.com/zitadel/website/pull/1592

## What we did

This pull request migrates the project documentation from the old
`docs/` directory to the new `apps/docs/` directory, introduces a new
documentation system built with Next.js and Fumadocs, and updates all
relevant references, configuration files, and documentation to reflect
this change. It also adds new configuration and ignore files for the new
documentation app, updates CI and linting to exclude the new docs from
certain checks, and revises the contributing guidelines accordingly.

**Documentation System Migration and New Docs App**

* Migrated all documentation from `docs/` to `apps/docs/`, and updated
all references in `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, and other files to
point to the new location.

and a comprehensive `README.md` with development and contribution
instructions.

**Configuration and Tooling Updates**

* Updated `.github/workflows/codeql.yml`, `.golangci.yaml`, and
`.github/dependabot.yml` to properly handle the new docs app: excluded
`apps/docs` from certain checks, added npm dependency updates for the
docs app, and excluded generated content.

* Updated `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` to use the latest Go 1.25.3
version for consistency.

**Licensing and Miscellaneous**

* Added `apps/docs/` to the list of licensed directories in
`LICENSING.md`.

These changes ensure the documentation is now maintained in a modern,
scalable system and all project tooling is updated to support the new
structure.

title: Log in with ZITADEL on Auth0 through SAML 2.0
sidebar_label: Auth0 (SAML)
---
This guide shows how to enable login with ZITADEL on Auth0.
It covers how to:
- create and configure the application in your project
- create and configure the connection in your Auth0 tenant
Prerequisites:
- existing ZITADEL Instance, if not present follow [this guide](/guides/start/quickstart)
- existing ZITADEL Organization, if not present follow [this guide](/guides/manage/console/organizations-overview)
- existing ZITADEL project, if not present follow the first 3 steps [here](/guides/manage/console/projects-overview)
- existing Auth0 tenant as described [here](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/auth0-overview/create-tenants)
> We have to switch between ZITADEL and a Auth0. If the headings begin with "ZITADEL" switch to the ZITADEL Management Console and
> if the headings start with "Auth0" please switch to the Auth0 GUI.
## **Auth0**: Create a new connection
In Authentication -> Enterprise
![](../../../../public/img/saml/auth0/auth_enterprise.png)
1. Press the "+" button right to "SAML"
![](../../../../public/img/saml/auth0/enterprise_connections.png)
2. Fill out the fields as follows in the SAML Connection:
![](../../../../public/img/saml/auth0/connection.png)
This includes:
- a unique "Connection name"
- the "Sign In URL"
- the "Sign Out URL"
- used "User ID Attribute"
- the definition how the request should be signed
- which binding should be used to call ZITADEL
All the information is filled out as an example, and to connect with any other environment you only have to change the
used domain, for example "example.com" with "zitadel.cloud".
Lastly, upload the certificate used to sign the responses, provided for you under the
URL \{your_instance_domain}/saml/v2/certificate.
Then just press the button "Create" and the connection on Auth0 is configured.
## **ZITADEL**: Create the application
You need to upload the SAML metadata to ZITADEL for it to recognize this newly created connection.
[Under this link](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/protocols/saml/saml-identity-provider-configuration-settings) are
all necessary information to correctly fill out the metadata or download the metadata-file directly under the
URL https://YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN/samlp/metadata?connection=YOUR_CONNECTION_NAME, which in this example would
be https://example.auth0.com/samlp/metadata?connection=SAML-ZITADEL.
In your existing project:
1. Press the "+"-button to add an application
![](../../../../public/img/saml/zitadel/project.png)
2. Fill in a name for the application and chose the SAML type, then click "Continue".
![](../../../../public/img/saml/zitadel/application_saml.png)
3. Either fill in the URL where ZITADEL can read the metadata from, or upload the metadata XML directly, then click "
Continue".
![](../../../../public/img/saml/zitadel/application_saml_metadata.png)
4. Check your application, if everything is correct, press "Create".
![](../../../../public/img/saml/zitadel/application_saml_create.png)
Everything on the side of ZITADEL is done if the application is correctly created.
## **Auth0**: Try the connection
To then test the connection you only have to press "Try" on the created connection in the Authentication -> Enterprise
screen.
![](../../../../public/img/saml/auth0/auth_enterprise_try.png)
To further customize the requests you can also customize the SAML communication as
described [here](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/protocols/saml/saml-configuration/customize-saml-assertions)
