Okta

This guide explain how to configure Okta with Hoop.

Requirements

Hoop Command Line

An account in OKTA

API_URL is the public DNS name of the hoop gateway instance

Contact the administrator of the hoop gateway instance to retrieve the API_URL address.

Identity Provider Configuration

1) Create a new application

Go to Applications > Applications and click on the Create App Integration button

In Sign-in Method, select OIDC - OpenID Connect

In Application type, select Web Application

2) Configure the redirect URIs

Signin redirect URIs: {API_URL}/api/callback

Signout redirect URIs: {API_URL}/api/logout

Save the Application

3) Collect the required information

IDP_CLIENT_ID & IDP_CLIENT_SECRET

In the Application Home

IDP_ISSUER

The Issuer URI depends on the authorization server being used. For more information, refer to this documentation.

If Okta does not have the ability to allow external applications to validate access tokens, make sure to add the query string _userinfo=1. This indicates that the userinfo endpoint should be used.

bash
IDP_ISSUER=https://${yourOktaOrg}?_userinfo=1

the _userinfo value is removed when it's used to exchange information with the identity provider.

4) Add ‘https://app.hoop.dev/groups’ claim to ID Token (optional)

Go to Security > API > {authorization server} > Claims

Add https://app.hoop.dev/groups in the ID Token
