Overview

This article explains how to add the prompt=select_account parameter to the /authorize request when using a Google OIDC IdP registered in Okta. This configuration allows users to choose which Google account to use during authentication.

Applies To
  • Generic OIDC Identity Provider (IdP)
Solution
  1. In the Okta Dashboard, navigate to Security > Identity Providers section.
  2. Choose Add identity provider and select the Generic OIDC IdP type instead of the preconfigured Google IdP type.

 Generic OIDC IdP  

  1. When configuring the Google OIDC IdP, it is necessary to enter various endpoints, including the authorization endpoint.  Refer to Google's Discovery document for this information.
  2. For the authorization endpoint, append ?prompt=select_account to the end of the URL.

Authorization endpoint

 

Limitations:

  • For generic OIDC IdPs, it is possible to pass additional static authorization query parameters as shown above.
  • Dynamic parameter addition based on the authorize request made to Okta is not supported.
