loi36 (loi36) asked a question.
I have a single page react app and I am using the widget to sign on from the login route.
it works fine when I go to the apps login page.
but when I sign in through Okta by clicking on the dashboard it does not log me in but sends me to the login page.
with other apps when you click on the app in the dashboard Okta automatically logs one in and redirects them to a protected route.

Can anyone lend Nathan a hand here?
Hi Nathan,
Thank you for posting your question on the Okta Help center.
Depending on the app login flow, you can integrate the app using the Okta Application Integration Wizard to create a SWA app (Secure Web Authentication) or to use one of the Template Apps available in the Okta OIN depending the app requirements.
For example, for apps requiring three fields (e.g. company,username and password) , you can use the Template Plugin 3 fields app found in the Okta OIN.
Configure a Template Plugin app from the Okta OIN using your app CSS selectors and attempt to login.
Example of Template Plugin app configuration:
URL - https://website.com/login - The app login page where users input their credentials;
Username field - #username
Password field - #password
Login Button - #login
Browser plugin auto-submit - enabled.
If you'll encounter any issues, please open a case with Okta Support.
Kind Regards,
Sergiu Costea
Technical Support Engineer

Sorry but this is not what I was asking when I click on the app from the dashboard it does not log me into my app but sends me to the login page how can I make it automatically log me in
Nathan,
Based on your latest response, I would say that the application is misconfigured in Okta, and/or the target application isn't set up to receive SSO.
