Spring Boot Deploy Options

This example app shows how to deploy a Spring Boot application to Azure, AWS, and self-hosted WAR file.

Please read Deploy Your Spring Boot The Right Way to see how this app was created.

Prerequisites: Java 11.

Okta has Authentication and User Management APIs that reduce development time with instant-on, scalable user infrastructure. Okta's intuitive API and expert support make it easy for developers to authenticate, manage and secure users and roles in any application.

Getting Started

To install this example application, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/oktadeveloper/okta-spring-boot-deploy.git
cd okta-spring-boot-deploy

This will get a copy of the project installed locally. To install all of its dependencies and start each app, follow the instructions below.

To run the server:

./mvnw spring-boot:run

Create an Application in Okta

Log in to your Okta Developer account (or sign up if you don’t have an account).

  1. From the Applications page, choose Add Application.
  2. On the Create New Application page, select Web.
  3. Give your app a memorable name, add http://localhost:8080/login/oauth2/code/okta as a Login redirect URI, then click Done.

Copy your issuer (found under API > Authorization Servers), client ID, and client secret into src/main/resources/application.properties as follows:

okta.oauth2.issuer: https://{yourOktaDomain}/oauth2/default
okta.oauth2.client-id: {yourClientID}
okta.oauth2.client-secret: {yourClientSecret}

NOTE: The value of {yourOktaDomain} should be something like dev-123456.okta.com. Make sure you don't include -admin in the value!

After modifying this file, start the example with ./mvnw spring-boot:run. You should be able to authenticate with Okta at http://localhost:8080.
