Getting Started

To install this example application, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/oktadeveloper/okta-spring-jwt-and-opaque-token-example.git
cd okta-spring-jwt-and-opaque-token-example

This will get a copy of the project installed locally. To install all of its dependencies and start the app, follow the instructions below.

To run the application:

./mvnw spring-boot:run

Create an Application in Okta

You will need to create an OpenID Connect Application in Okta to get your values to perform authentication.

Log in to your Okta Developer account (or sign up if you don’t have an account) and navigate to Applications > Add Application. Click Web, click Next, and give the app a name you’ll remember.

• Change the Login redirect URIs to https://oidcdebugger.com/debug
• Check Implicit (Hybrid)
• Click Done.

Server Configuration

Set the issuer and copy the client-id and client-secret into server/src/main/resources/application.properties.

NOTE: The value of {yourOktaDomain} should be something like dev-123456.oktapreview.com. Make sure you don't include -admin in the value!

spring.security.oauth2.client.provider.okta.issuer-uri = https://{yourOktaDomain}/oauth2/default
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.okta.client-id = {clientId}
spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.okta.client-secret = {clientSecret}
