The Okta platform makes many powerful features available through our APIs and SDKs. Whether you are managing authentication and application access for the employees of your enterprise, or providing the identity infrastructure for other business units of your company to launch their business initiatives, or providing federated authentication and provisioning support in your cloud offering for your valuable customer - this session will provide deep insights and hands-on labs to demonstrate some advanced usages of the platform.
This lab is split into two sessions, a morning session covering internal use cases and an afternoon session covering external use cases.

Building a simple login page
Starting from scratch, we’ll build a simple Login Page using the Okta API in Python.
-
Adding SSO support - SAML into an Okta managed application
This exercise will leverage your earlier AWS IAM setup to show how you can SSO directly into an app in a branded end user flow leveraging our APIs. It will also look into SAML specifics including IDP and SP initiated logins and
RelayState. -
Adding Social Login to the login page
Building on the previous exercise, we’ll add Social Login support to your page. If you think about B2C use cases, this is almost a pre-requisite today to allow registration and authentication – using Social Identity Providers like Facebook and Linkedin.
Our Social Identity Provider offering also introduces webhooks for the first time. It is not part of the lab – but we will discuss how webhooks are used in the context of our social authentication/registration flow.
