Okta Application Setup

An Okta Application defines a client application that can use the Okta domain for authentication.

The steps below are for setting up an application using the console... hint hint these should all be available via the Okta API, maybe next step would be to write a small script... followed by automation?

  2. Create a new app in Okta as "Single-Page App"

  3. Save

  4. Not done yet, we need to make a couple changes after we save...
