This example leverages the information found in the OidcUser object that is automatically injected after authenticating
using OpenId Connect.
It uses JPA to add user activity information to a MySQL database.
In order to use this example, you'll need to create an Okta Org here
You'll also need to create an application.properties file in src/main/resources:
okta.oauth2.issuer={authServerUrl}
okta.oauth2.clientId={clientId}
okta.oauth2.clientSecret={clientSecret}
## MySQL
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://{mysql url}:{mysql port}/{dbName}
spring.datasource.username={dbUser}
spring.datasource.password={dbPassword}
# drop in to create the table, good for testing, comment this in production. This will create the table for you on each load of application, so you may want to comment this out after the first load
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create
Once you've created an Okta org, configured it according to the blog post and set your application.properties file, you can run the application like so:
mvn spring-boot:run
