Issues with Okta Authentication Integration on My CapCut Resource Website

Hi everyone,

I’m using Okta to handle authentication for my CapCut-related website, which allows users to access premium tutorials, save projects, and manage their templates. However, I’m encountering a few technical issues:

  1. SSO Redirection Errors: Some users report being stuck in a login loop when attempting to use Single Sign-On (SSO). They successfully authenticate with Okta but are redirected back to the login page instead of the dashboard.
  2. Token Validation Failures: My backend API (Node.js) frequently throws invalid token errors for access tokens issued by Okta. The error log shows that the tokens sometimes lack the aud (audience) claim, which is required for validation.
  3. Role-Based Access Issues: I’ve implemented role-based access control (RBAC) via Okta to restrict access to certain features (e.g., uploading templates). However, user roles are not consistently being passed to the application after login.

Here’s my setup:

  • Frontend: React, using the Okta React SDK.
  • Backend: Node.js, validating JWTs with @okta/jwt-verifier.
  • Okta settings: Configured as a single-page application with authorization code flow.

I’ve double-checked my Okta settings and application configurations, including redirect URIs, audience values, and roles assigned in the Okta dashboard.

Has anyone experienced similar issues or have suggestions on debugging Okta integrations for web applications? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Is there anyone who can help me?

I want guidance please help!

Hi,

  1. SSO Redirection Error - Can you check if the users are being successfully authenticated from the system logs since I would assume that there is some problem with the authentication and instead of throwing a error, it is being redirected back to the login page. Check in the Developer tools of the browser to check for any endpoint failure
  2. Token Validation Failures - Do you see the aud missing error every time when the token is validated? This failure means that the aud value is not set for your Custom Authorization Server.
  3. Role-Based Access Issues - How are you passing the role values to CapCut? If the roles values are being sent via tokens to the downstream app, I would suggest you to decode the tokens that are being passed to the app and check if the roles claim is being populated correctly.

Thank You
