Hi Everyone,
From past one week am working on this feature, But I couldn’t find the solution

Feature: Providing the SSO Feature to My WebApp (My Web Application need to Access from OKta)

So Okta will initiate the Login flow, I need to capture the Access token and validate it and authorize user to login to the Web Application.

Following are the dependencies I have added to work

org.springframework.security.extensions spring-security-saml-dsl 1.0.0.M3 
          <dependency>
                 <groupId>com.okta.spring</groupId>
                 <artifactId>okta-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
                 <version>1.1.0</version>
          </dependency>

         <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.security.oauth</groupId> 
                 <artifactId>spring-security-oauth2</artifactId> 
          </dependency>

Backend Code used this link reference but no luck !!

Can you help me with the piece of working code or Reference links which will really helpful to me !

As you can probably see, most posts in this deserted forum have zero replies. Okta simply doesn’t care about support, sorry to say but you’re on your own.

hi @dragos
I tried this example, but this is not my requirement.
I have created a SAML 2.0 application in Okta and wanted provide SSO feature to My Web Application. In most of the references am getting OAuth SSO examples (which is Login with Okta).

I need to capture the SAML POST response and maintain the Session for the user who clicked on MyApp.

hi @Basant
Thanks for the response,
In your example you have created the Application as Web Application.
I have created as SAML 2.0 Application which will connect to My Web App and Post the SAML Response. that i need to capture and before it redirected to Home page i will check in my database and based on the user role will redirect to authorized page.

So here am unable to get the SAML POST response !
What Okta SAML expecting from My Web App ?
