Portal includes a built-in Okta authentication provider that uses OAuth for user authentication. To enable Okta authentication for your Portal instance, follow these steps.

​
Create App integration In Okta

Within your Okta dashboard create a new app integration where the sign-in method is OIDC - OpenID Connect. In addition, your application type should set to Web Application. Once created, you can fill out the new web app integration form:
  1. App integration name: “Spotify Portal” (or your own custom app name)
  2. Grant type: Authorization Code & Refresh Token
  3. Sign-in redirect URIs: https://<your-organization>.spotifyportal.com/api/auth/okta/handler/frame
  4. Sign-out redirect URIs: https://<your-organization>.spotifyportal.com
  5. Store your Client ID and generate and store your Client Secret
  6. Click Save
For more information on how to Create an OIDC App Integration in Okta, refer to the Okta documentation.

  1. Open Config Manager in Portal and navigate to the Auth plugin.
  2. Scroll to auth.providers.okta
  3. Add a new configuration entry with “Key name” of production
  4. Enter the following details from your Okta Web App Integration:
    • clientId
