j4hpy (j4hpy) asked a question.

Can I use Okta to authenticate user from WPF login screen without using Web Service in between?

Is there anyway to register a windows app with Okta?

Hi Sachin!
We should be able to connect if the application is public facing. In Okta we can connect trough an application only by using:
1. SAML: https://developer.okta.com/standards/SAML/setting_up_a_saml_application_in_okta
2. WS FED: https://support.okta.com/help/Documentation/Knowledge_Article/Configuring-the-Okta-Template-WS-Federation-Application-1608603212
3. OAuth: https://developer.okta.com/docs/api/resources/oidc
4. https://support.okta.com/help/Documentation/Knowledge_Article/Using-the-App-Integration-Wizard-1111708899
For WPF might have to use Ws Fed template instead.

Thanks for the timely response. The application is a standalone exe which will be installed on client systems. This application will have its own login screen. So after capturing the credentials from there what do I need to do to connect to AWS Cognito or IAM user through Okta? Thanks, Sachin
