An Okta authorization server provides token-based resource protection implementing the OAuth authorization protocol. You use an Okta authorization server to register clients as applications as your application must be authorized to access the Okta authorization server to consume any web APIs.
You must create an Okta administration account in order to log in as an administrator
and configure the Okta authorization server.
You configure your system for Okta authorization in two stages:
-
The creation of items within Okta to support the generation of OAuth tokens for the application. This includes the creation of a user group, a new application, and an authorization server.
-
The configuration of the application server web.config file and the Web Client settings.json file.
