On the following screen, you can edit the application's settings. Make sure that the port number is 3000 and the base URI is http://localhost:3000/. Change the Login Redirect URI to http://localhost:3000/callback. Once you are done, you will see a Client ID.

Configure your Okta Settings

Copy your Okta domain and client ID into src/config.js:

export default {
  oidc: {
    clientId: '{yourClientID}',
    issuer: 'https://{yourOktaDomain}/oauth2/default',
    redirectUri: 'http://localhost:3000/callback',
    scopes: ['openid', 'profile', 'email'],
    pkce: true
  }
}

Start everything with npm start, click the Profile link, and you'll be prompted to login with React and Okta.
