Redirected to Okta homepage when accessing my own app
Hi,
I'm a developer working on a SCIM API and I'm trying to test using our API with Okta. I seem to have created an application successfully, and I can import users into Okta from the admin interface. I've also added my own Okta account to the org to access the app as a user.
However, when I try to access the app as a user (by clicking on the app shown in the attached screenshot) it redirects me to this URL: https://www.okta.com/?fromHome=true
Does anyone know what might cause this problem? I've tried this in both Firefox and Chrome. I'm new to Okta so please let me know if more information would be helpful!

Hello @f9c77 (f9c77) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
This would be expected behaviour if you only setup the Provisioning part. Depending on what type of SCIM app you configured, on the Sign on tab you have the option to add the application URL. However usually this application is hidden from the users and you can configure a separate application SWA or SAML depending on the needs.
Please see our doc for this below:

Hi Ashley
The best way to see how you ended up there is to look at installing something like SAMLtracer or use the network traffic developer tools in any browser. Those will show you what happens with your client, and how it ended up at the Okta homepage.
However, if you've only implemented SCIM ( which is a provisioning process to manage the lifecycle of accounts ) and not an SSO protocol ( SAML or OIDC for example ) then all Okta is doing is managing the accounts in your target app. It will not perform any authentication or redirect you to your application,
