Thank you @Ryan Foster for providing very detailed instructions. I was able to run the application by following instructions from beginning to end, and able to run the application without single fail.

Could you please share your thoughts, how do I integrate Okta with existing Web API application which has manual token based authentication. For example, first time user will pass Email and Password and API will return Token (auto generated guid) and after all subsequent request it will pass only token. Now i would like to use Okta for the Authentication.

Your valuable feedback are most appreciated!
