Simple Token Authentication with Java

An example app that shows you how to do token authentication with Java and Spring Boot.

Please read Simple Token Authentication for Java Apps to see how this app was created.

Prerequisites: Java 8.

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.

Getting Started

To install this example application, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/oktadeveloper/okta-spring-boot-token-auth-example.git
cd okta-spring-boot-token-auth-example

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

./gradlew bootRun

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, give the app a name you’ll remember, and select "Client Credentials". Click Done and copy the clientId and clientSecret into src/main/resources/application.yml.

server:  
  port: 8080  
                                         
okta:  
  oauth2: 
    issuer: https://{yourOktaDomain}/oauth2/default  
    clientId: {yourClientId}
    clientSecret: {yourClientSecret}

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

After modifying this file, restart your app and you should be able to authenticate with an access token. Please read the companion blog post for additional information.
