ASP.NET MVC & Okta Authentication SDK Example

This example shows you how to use the Okta.Auth.Sdk library to:

  • Log in a user
  • Change a user's password (only if the password has expired)

The user's browser is first redirected to the self-hosted login page on your ASP.NET MVC application. Once the user is successfully authenticated via Okta, a ClaimsIdentity is created with the user's information. If the user's password has expired, the user will be redirected to a change password form.

Prerequisites

Before running this sample, you will need to have an Okta Developer Account. You can sign up for one at https://developer.okta.com/signup/.

Running This Example

Clone this repo and replace the configuration placeholder in the Web.Config with your Okta domain. You can see all the available configuration options in the Okta.Auth.Sdk GitHub.

Now start your server and navigate to https://localhost:44314 in your browser.

If you see a home page that allows you to login, then things are working! Clicking the Log in link will redirect you to the self-hosted sign-in page.

You can login with the same account that you created when signing up for your Developer Org, or you can use a known username and password from your Okta Directory.

Note: Because of recent changes in Set-Cookie behavior (SameSite) this code will only work properly if it's configured to use https. Check out Work with SameSite cookies in ASP.NET for more details.
