AayushD.03281 (Customer) asked a question.
Is there any way we can use okta with our external user database and without registering users to okta?
Currently, we are using okta for SSO among multiple react applications,
For that okta is authenticating users and returning Idtoken, AccessToken and RefreshToken
Then we are passing access token to the backend API call as a Bearer AccessToken from the react application
For this scenario, currently we have users present in the okta
So now we want to achieve the same flow, but instead of user present in the okta
is okta supports the approach where we can have users in our system and okta will provide accessToken, refreshToken and idTokens by verifying users from our application.
We also do not want to use google, amazon kinds of identity providers
So Is okta supporting this type of flow?
Hi @AayushD.03281 (Customer) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
This is currently not supported. The user would have to be registered and assigned to an app in Okta to be able to use SSO services.
If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
Hope my answer helps!
