This example code is used in the blog post found here
This example takes you from using Spring Security for basic authentication, to form authentication and finally to integrating with Okta using OAuth 2.0.
Okta has Authentication and User Management APIs that reduce development time with instant-on, scalable user infrastructure. Okta's intuitive API and expert support make it easy for developers to authenticate, manage, and secure users and roles in any application.
In the first two examples, you can simply switch into the basic-auth and form-auth folders respectively and run:
./gradlew bootRun
For the final example, switch into the oauth-okta folder.
You'll need to create an Okta org here.
Follow the instructions in the blog post for creating an application in Okta.
Setup src/main/resources/application.yml like so:
okta:
oauth2:
issuer: https://okta.okta.com/oauth2/default
client-id: {yourClientID}
client-secret: {yourClientSecret}
spring:
thymeleaf:
cache: false
Then, you can run the app as before:
./gradlew bootRun
