Authenticating API Calls from Salesforce to Another App with Okta SSO on Behalf of the User
The situation is as follows: we are using Okta as the identity provider for SSO in Salesforce and another internally developed app. The requirement is as follows: when a user logs into Salesforce, there is an LWC component that, through Apex, needs to make an API call to the other app. Is there a way for this API call to be authenticated by Okta on behalf of the user who has already performed SSO to log into Salesforce?
Hello @e7n08 (e7n08) Thank you for posting on our Community page!
Through the normal SAML application that we have in the OIN I do not think this might be possible, however you could try to use an OIDC connection with Okta and Salesforce and maybe through this way you can achieve this:

Additionally you could check with Salesforce support to see if this is possible.
Thank you for reaching out to our Community and have a great day!
