Carry login information between route navigations ReactJS

[rogeralsing]

Edit, my issue seems to be that isAuthenticated returns null, is there any documentation on how this should work?

[rogeralsing]

I’ve modified the code in my Home.js to have this code:

  async checkAuthentication() {
    const authenticated = await this.props.auth.isAuthenticated();
    console.log("Authenticated as " + authenticated); //<-- added logging
    if (authenticated !== this.state.authenticated) {
      this.setState({ authenticated });
    }
  }

When I press Logon, the output I’m seeing that the result of the isAuthenticated() call is “null”

Why and how can I find out why I am not getting any result back?

I’ve partially figured out what is going on.

if I’m at localhost:3000/ then press login, Okta is redirecting me back to this URI after logging in.
The /implicit/callback is never triggered as that is not the URI that I’m redirected back to.

So I think I am confused on what should go where,
Should the implicit callback be at /implicit/callback, and is that the redirect uri that should be available in the Admin dashboard?

This is how I read the example. but doing so will result in the user not being logged into the APP.
If I instad change the route path of the implicit callback to be just / then it gets triggered after the login, and I get the correct information.

I’m not sure if I’m holding it wrong, or if the tutorial is wrong or if there is a bug in the SDK.
Following the React SDK point by point, will result in an error saying that the URI (/ which is Home) is not whitelisted.

I could use some helping hand here

I found the issue

In one if the examples, there is this code

    redirectUri: window.location.origin + '/implicit/callback', //<-- redirectUri
    clientId: clientId
}

and in another snippet there is this:

redirect_uri={config.redirectUri} > //<-- redirect_uri

using the same in both places solved the issue.

We’re glad to see you figured it out!
