Functional GoLang Oath2 Example

Questions API
1

Apologies, I am not a top level developer and reading all the github docs and SDK’s is making me cross-eyed…

Could anyone provide a functional example of using Oath2 in a GoLang app? I have the basics, but I am quite unsure about the layout and where to put things…

So far I have this…

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/okta/okta-sdk-golang/v2/okta"
)

func main() {
	ctx := context.TODO()
	ctx, client, err := okta.NewClient(ctx,
		okta.WithOrgUrl("https://mycompany.okta.com"),
		okta.WithAuthorizationMode("PrivateKey"),
		okta.WithClientId("{myClientId}"),
		okta.WithScopes([]string{"'okta.groups.read','okta.users.read','okta.groups.manage'"}),
		okta.WithPrivateKey("{private_key}"),
		okta.WithPrivateKeyId("{private key id}"), //needed if Okta service application has more then a single JWK registered
	)

	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Context: %+v\n Client: %+v\n", ctx, client)

	user, resp, err := client.User.GetUser(ctx, "{UserId|Username|Email}")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Error Getting User: %v\n", err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("User: %+v\n Response: %+v\n\n", user, resp)
}

Adding on to this… There is Postman examples, but they are all using an API key. Our company has decided that we can only use Oath.
