Okta does not enforce an explicit character limit for redirect URIs in an OpenID Connect (OIDC) application. However, Okta generates an error if the combined length of all configured URIs exceeds the maximum allowed length. Optimizing the length and number of redirect URIs prevents the following validation error:
Api validation failed: redirect_uris
- Okta Identity Engine (OIE)
- Okta Classic Engine
- OpenID Connect (OIDC) Application
- Redirect URI
How does Okta handle redirect URI limits?
Okta does not enforce an explicit character limit for individual redirect URIs. However, the combined length of all URIs affects the total number of entries Okta accepts. Configuring shorter URIs allows more entries in the configuration, accommodating applications that require multiple endpoints. Conversely, incorporating longer URIs reduces the number of possible entries.
Optimizing Redirect URIs Requires Specific Best Practices
Optimize the number of redirect URIs and prevent configuration errors by implementing the following practices:
- Use the most concise and direct URIs possible.
- Regularly review and streamline the URIs to remove any unnecessary entries.
- Account for every character, including special characters and spaces, when calculating the length of each URI.
