Okta Authentication

Oxy supports Okta OAuth 2.0 authentication, allowing users to sign in using their Okta credentials. This provides enterprise-grade authentication with support for SSO, MFA, and centralized user management.

​
Prerequisites

Before configuring Okta authentication, you need:
  1. An Okta account (or Okta Developer account)
  2. Administrative access to create an OAuth 2.0 application
  3. Your Okta domain (e.g., dev-12345678.okta.com)

​
Setting Up Okta Application

​
Step 1: Create an OAuth 2.0 Application

  1. Log in to your Okta Admin Console
  2. Navigate to Applications → Applications
  3. Click Create App Integration
  4. Select OIDC - OpenID Connect
  5. Choose Web Application
  6. Click Next

​
Step 2: Configure Application Settings

Configure your application with the following settings: App integration name: Oxy (or your preferred name) Sign-in redirect URIs: 
http://localhost:3000/auth/okta/callback (for development)
https://your-domain.com/auth/okta/callback (for production)
Sign-out redirect URIs: 
http://localhost:3000 (for development)
https://your-domain.com (for production)
Controlled access: Choose who can access this application (e.g., Everyone, specific groups)

​
Step 3: Get Client Credentials

After creating the application:
  1. Go to the General tab of your application
  2. Copy the Client ID
  3. Copy the Client secret (you may need to reveal it)
  4. Note your Okta domain from the URL (e.g., dev-12345678.okta.com)

​
Step 4: Configure Authorization Server (Optional)

By default, Oxy uses the default authorization server. If you need to use a custom authorization server:
  1. Navigate to Security → API → Authorization Servers
  2. Note the issuer URI of your authorization server
  3. Update the Oxy code if needed (see Advanced Configuration below)

​
Configuring Oxy

​
Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables: 
# Okta OAuth Configuration
OKTA_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
OKTA_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here
OKTA_DOMAIN=dev-12345678.okta.com

​
Starting Oxy with Okta Authentication

Start the Oxy server: 
oxy serve
The authentication configuration will be automatically loaded from environment variables or the config file.
