Hey! I’m trying to develop a sign-in page with react that allows our users to log in once and then navigate to other apps without having to log in again. What this means is that a user would sign in on `auth.mydomain.com` and be able to acces `myapp1.mydomain.com`. During development I have the sign-in widget on port `8080` and my app on port `3000`. Right now I can log in on port `8080` and get redirected to port `3000`. After doing so, `authState.isAuthenticated` is false. I can go 2 separate ways from here. I can get the tokens using `oktaAuth.token.getWithoutPrompt()` but this does not update `authState`, neither does executing `oktaAuth.authStateManager.updateAuthState()` right after. The other way is to trigger a login with `oktaAuth.signInWithRedirect()` which updates `authState`, but this reloads the page and wrecks user experience. Here are the versions I’m using: ```auto "@okta/okta-auth-js": "^6.7.1", "@okta/okta-signin-widget": "^6.5.0", "@okta/okta-react": "^6.5.0" ``` `okta-signin-widget` is not present on the app in port `3000`. ---
