Authenticating with Okta

Okta is a well-known authentication provider for enterprises. The process is very similar to Google, but it only requires you to register your application with Okta to generate a client ID and secret. To generate the appropriate secrets, you’ll need to sign up for a developer account. Once you’ve logged into your Okta developer account, follow these instructions:

1. From the Dashboard area, open Applications, select Applications, and click on Create App Integration:
