cppm7 (cppm7) asked a question.
How to perform authentication via IdP though backend code.
We have 2 okta instance(X and Y). In Y we have users created. We created IdP(openID connect IdP) in X which has clientId and client_secret of app in Y. We want to perform authentication with the help Y account. When we try it in UI based on domain rule it correctly redirect us to Y instance URL to sign in and it get authenticated. But when we give user_id password and call sign in our backend code calling "api/v1/authn" with host of okta instance x, it does not validate User. How can we resolve this issue?
Hello @cppm7 (cppm7)
Thanks for posting.
