Hi,
New here so please forgive the dumb questions.
Angular 9 SPA
Spring Boot Resource Server
used the OKTA SDK in the Angular app, client runs and logs in fine. Trying to run an “authorisation code” grant flow? and calling the server, I get 401 returned from the Spring Boot resource server (also using the spring boot starter library), which is configured for a custom authorization request resolver because of the PKSE in the SPA.
I’ve been following the various example on the web, but I’m not sure that I’ve configured the resource server correctly in Okta, the screens in the control panel don’t match up with the screen shots of the control panel in the examples I’ve tried following.
So to go back to basics can someone please confirm the correct steps for setting up both the SPA (which I think is ok because it runs and logs in) and more importantly the spring boot resource server?

Are you certain you have an Okta developer account? If not, you can create a free one at https://developer.okta.com/signup.
Setting up a Spring Boot resource server is pretty straightforward. In fact, all you need is the Okta Spring Boot starter in your dependencies. You can even use the Okta Maven Plugin to create your account and configure Spring Boot.
Then, on the Angular side, you just need an interceptor that adds your access token to the Authorization header.

Hi,
Yes thats one of the posts I was following. The main confusion was the setup for the Spring resource Server in the Okta control panel on my developer account. There after the first step “Web Application” which Sign On Method should I use for resource server - Secure Web Authentication, SAML or OpenID connect?

It sounds like you’re in a workforce account rather than a developer account. You should be able to switch to the developer console in the top left corner.
When you go to Applications > Add Application, you should see a screen like the following.
Thanks,
I think you’re right. Ok, Ill setup again and wok through the link. thanks for the help, I’m hoping there won’t be any more questions heading your way.

Darren
Ok, now configured using the developer console. Followed the tutorial as per the link, front end authenticates ok but backend I get a forbidden…

When do you get the error on your server? Are you calling it from Angular? If so, you might want to look at your browser’s developer console and make sure it’s passing the access token in an Authorization header.
Yep definitely sending a bearer the in the Authorization header.
