Okta is a secure, customizable, and easy-to-integrate solution to add authentication and authorization services to applications. It features provisioning, single sign-on (SSO), Active Directory (AD) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) integration, centralized deprovisioning of users, multi-factor authentication (MFA), mobile identity management, and flexible policies for organization security and control.

We'll learn about Okta organizations and their management. We'll also learn how to use Okta as the user store for single-page applications and sign users in with a practical example.

Lastly, this course will provide some recommendations and resources for further exploration of Okta.

Authenticating Application Users with Okta in JavaScript

**Okta** provides easy and customizable authentication and authorization services in one secure package.

It allows us to build scalable authentication into our applications without having to bear the development costs. Additionally, it helps us eliminate any potential security risks and maintenance overheads that would come with building an application on our own.


We can connect any application to Okta and define how users sign in to it. Okta verifies the identity of the user each time there is an attempt to authenticate. This information is then sent back to our application.

Using the Okta API and its SDKs, we can seamlessly integrate apps with Okta’s services. That will allow us to set up the authentication and authorization processes, change the sign-in pages according to our needs, and track services as needed.


This course is designed for developers interested in exploring Okta for authentication. It will provide a basic understanding of Okta authentication with hands-on examples and enable us to get a firm grip on Okta and its protocols.

This course assumes prior knowledge and a basic understanding of the following concepts:
* Authorization and authentication of a basic client-server application model.
* The JavaScript programming language
* The React library for building user interfaces based on UI components.
