Can I authenticate using OIDC without redirecting the user?

We have front end applications (combination of Android apps and websites) and we store our users in Okta. We have a backend auth service which all requests from any frontend route through in order to log in.

So far so good.

We have also started offering our services to clients who manage their own users in service providers (for example, Ping) and we have configured these as an IdP within Okta.

My question is whether there’s any way which our backend auth service can make the request to Okta, receive the redirect back, and then make the login request to the IdP without having to redirect the frontend user to a different login screen? I created a diagram but it turns out new users can’t upload images!

I have reached the point where we begin the request with Okta and the ProceedContext comes back indicating the redirect URL (which renders a login screen from the IdP if used) but we really want the use of the IdP to be hidden from our end users.

Many thanks!

Hi,

You can upload images in the post reply. I think that will give us a clear idea about the flow you are inquiring about.
