## Prerequisites
### Create an Okta Web app
Follow the steps on [the Okta documentation](https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/sign-into-web-app/nodeexpress/main/#understand-the-callback-route) to create Okta web app and get client ID, client secret and issuer
## How to use
#### Create the strategy instance
```typescript
// app/utils/auth.server.ts
import { Authenticator } from "remix-auth";
import { OktaStrategy } from "remix-auth-okta";
// Create an instance of the authenticator, pass a generic with what your
// strategies will return and will be stored in the session
export const authenticator = new Authenticator<User>(sessionStorage);
let oktaStrategy = new OktaStrategy(
{
// example of issuer: https://dev-1234.okta.com/oauth2/default
issuer: "YOUR_OKTA_ISSUER",
clientID: "YOUR_OKTA_CLIENT_ID",
clientSecret: "YOUR_OKTA_CLIENT_SECRET",
callbackURL: "https://your-app-domain.com/auth/okta/callback",
},
async ({ accessToken, refreshToken, extraParams, profile }) => {
// Get the user data from your DB or API using the tokens and profile
return User.findOrCreate({ email: profile.email });
}
);
authenticator.use(oktaStrategy);
```
### Setup your routes
```typescript
// app/routes/login.tsx
export default function Login() {
return (
<Form action="/auth/okta" method="post">
<button>Login with Okta</button>
</Form>
);
}
```
```typescript
// app/routes/auth/okta.tsx
import type { ActionFunction, LoaderFunction } from "remix";
import { authenticator } from "~/utils/auth.server";
export let loader: LoaderFunction = () => redirect("/login");
export let action: ActionFunction = ({ request }) => {
return authenticator.authenticate("okta", request);
};
```
```typescript
// app/routes/auth/okta/callback.tsx
import type { ActionFunction, LoaderFunction } from "remix";
import { authenticator } from "~/utils/auth.server";
export let loader: LoaderFunction = ({ request }) => {
return authenticator.authenticate("okta", request, {
successRedirect: "/private",
failureRedirect: "/login",
});
};
```
## How to use with custom login page
#### Create the strategy instance
```typescript
// app/utils/auth.server.ts
import { Authenticator } from "remix-auth";
import { OktaStrategy } from "remix-auth-okta";
// Create an instance of the authenticator, pass a generic with what your
// strategies will return and will be stored in the session
export const authenticator = new Authenticator<User>(sessionStorage);
let oktaStrategy = new OktaStrategy(
{
// example of issuer: https://dev-1234.okta.com/oauth2/default
issuer: "YOUR_OKTA_ISSUER",
clientID: "YOUR_OKTA_CLIENT_ID",
clientSecret: "YOUR_OKTA_CLIENT_SECRET",
callbackURL: "https://your-app-domain.com/auth/okta/callback",
// Add this to options for custom login form
withCustomLoginForm: true,
// example of okta domain: https://dev-1234.okta.com
oktaDomain: "YOUR_OKTA_DOMAIN"
},
async ({ accessToken, refreshToken, extraParams, profile }) => {
// Get the user data from your DB or API using the tokens and profile
return User.findOrCreate({ email: profile.email });
}
);
authenticator.use(oktaStrategy);
```
### Setup your routes
```typescript
// app/routes/login.tsx
export default function Login() {
return (
<Form action="/auth/okta" method="post">
<input type="text" name="email"/>
<input type="password" name="password"/>
<button>Log in</button>
</Form>
);
}
```
```typescript
// app/routes/auth/okta.tsx
import type { ActionFunction, LoaderFunction } from "remix";
import { authenticator } from "~/utils/auth.server";
export let loader: LoaderFunction = () => redirect("/login");
export let action: ActionFunction = ({ request }) => {
return authenticator.authenticate("okta", request);
};
```
```typescript
// app/routes/auth/okta/callback.tsx
import type { ActionFunction, LoaderFunction } from "remix";
import { authenticator } from "~/utils/auth.server";
export let loader: LoaderFunction = ({ request }) => {
return authenticator.authenticate("okta", request, {
successRedirect: "/private",
failureRedirect: "/login",
});
};
```
