Prerequisites

• Have Okta or Entra ID OIDC provider credentials.
• The OIDC callback URL should be configured as http://localhost:5000/callback/
  • In Okta, configure Allowed Callback URLs as  http://localhost:5000/callback/
  • In Entra ID, configure Redirect URLs as  http://localhost:5000/callback/
• Ensure both the Authorization Code and Refresh Token are selected as Grant Types in your OIDC administration settings.

Set your OIDC credentials

• Assign the OpenID Connect Provider. It can be a nickname for your Okta or Entra ID. (For internal use only).
• Insert the Authority URL provided by the OIDC provider. It is the endpoint where the authentication process starts, typically in the format of https://login.provider.com/....
• Insert your Client ID (unique identifier) for the application registered with the OIDC provider.
• Insert your Client Secret credential provided by the provider.
• Click on the  button to make your Client Secret visible.

  Find here your Okta or Entra ID credentials.

• Click on the Login button to initiate the OIDC login.
  • A web browser appears where you have to authenticate against the OIDC provider.
    
    • On valid authentication, a success message appears.
    • If the authentication fails, an unsuccessful message appears.
• The Authentication status label displays in the wizard whether the user is Authenticated or Not Authenticated.
• Once authenticated, the Required checkbox will be available to change if you want to disable OIDC.
  

  If you enable/disable the OIDC, you will enable/disable it for all users of this repository.

• Click on the Logout button to logout from the current OIDC session. It clears any stored tokens or session data.

  You can logout whenever you want from the same wizard.

• Click OK to save your changes in the Repository and Management Service Settings wizard.

  If the token expires, the next time you login, a new token will be generated automatically. If the authorized session is revoked by the provider, the Authentication Failed message will show, and you will need to authenticate again.
