Click Save. Okta will provide a Client ID and Client Secret.

On the left side menu, select Security then API where you will find the Issuer URI that should be provided to SpaceDeck when you are setting up the IDP. Here the client has the option to customize and create a new authorization server. In this specific example, it was tested using the default:

To manager users in Okta, on the left side menu, select Directory then People:

To manage groups in Okta (which are translated as roles in SpaceDeck), on the left side menu go to Directory then Groups. By default in Smart DIH Smart DIH allows enterprises to develop and deploy digital services in an agile manner, without disturbing core business applications. This is achieved by creating an event-driven, highly performing, efficient and available replica of the data from multiple systems and applications, the role of ROLE_ADMIN has all privileges. It is customizable and can be changed via the config map.  However, to follow the default behavior and to use the ROLE_ADMIN in SMART DIH Digital Integration Hub. An application architecture that decouples digital applications from the systems of record, and aggregates operational data into a low-latency data fabric., a ROLE_ADMIN group has to be created in OKTA and people assigned to this group.  This group will contain administrators and will have all privileges. To create a group in Okta, on the left side menu, go to Directory then Groups and click Add group, supply the name ROLE_ADMIN and then click Save.

From the drop-down of Group source type, select Okta groups. The ROLE_ADMIN group will be in the list.

To assign users to ROLE_ADMIN (or any other created group) on the left side menu, go to Directory then People and choose users from the list of users. Click the user. To switch the users groups, type the group name and then click enter.

Now the access token claims have to be customized so it will have groups used in Smart DIH.  To accomplish this, on the left side menu go to Security then API and on the API screen, Authorization Servers:

Select the server that is being used and go to the Claims tabs then Access:

Click Add Claim and input a name for the Claim. In the Value type drop-down select Groups. For Filter, provide the filter to be applied. In this example, only groups with the ROLE_ prefix should be used. Click Create.
