You can use the following process to setup Okta for Authorization Code Flow:

Authorization Server

Densify requires the use of a custom authorization server. If you do not already have an authorization server configured, please contact Okta directly, for details. Okta’s API Access Management product is a requirement to use a custom authorization server and is an optional add-on in production environments. See Authorization Servers Concepts. You need to register Densify as a web application in your Okta Authorization Server. and then provide the following information to Densify:
  • Client ID
  • Client secret (password)
  • Issuer value

Create an Application

  1. In Okta, select Applications > Add Application.

  3. Accept the defaults and click Done.
We will come back and complete the configuration shortly.
