Integrate Okta Oauth 2.0

Last updated on June 5, 2024

Overview​

Integrate Okta OAuth 2.0 to enable your users with existing Okta accounts to log in to the AccelByte Development Toolkit (ADT) Web. Okta Oauth 2.0 controls who is authorized to access a protected resource, like your web app, native app, or API service.

note

If you want to grant secure access to your application data, use the OAuth 2.0 protocol.

OAuth 2.0 has four important roles:

  1. The authorization server issues access tokens. In this case, Okta acts as the authorization server.
  2. The resource owner uses an access token to grant access to the resource server. In this case, your application's Administrator is the resource owner.
  3. The client application requests the access token from Okta and passes it to the resource server.
  4. The resource server accepts and verifies the access token. In this case, the resource server is your application.

This guide will show you how to integrate ADT Web with Okta OAuth 2.0.

Prerequisites​

  • You need access to the Okta Admin console.
  • You need access to ADT Web as an Administrator.
