jBPM Business Apps and Okta Single
Sign-on (SSO)
Wanted to showcase a new jBPM Business
Applications demo that includes easy
integration with the Okta identity management
service.
The demo uses the developer.okta.com setup and
the Okta Spring boot starter to quickly set up SSO
for our jBPM Business App. It also shows how easy
it is to restrict access to certain pages of your
jBPM Business Application using the authentication
info and identity setup in Okta.
Demo source code is on github .
The demo requires you to make an account on
developer.okta.com (its free) and create an Okta
application and set up two group called "Admin"
and "Sales"
Only other configuration is in the your apps
application.properties file:
All of this information you get for free once you
create an account and an application on the Okta
developer site.
Once you have completed this setup and start the
Okta demo app, go to localhost:8090 and to
authenticate and access your app. Note that since
there is no logout feature in the demo app, in order
to simulate the logout simply delete your recent
browser cookies.
If you don't create and set up the "Sales" group in
Okta for your application there accessing
localhost:8090/sales will give you a "403" page:
Otherwise you will be able to access it:
The apps index page is authorized to users that are
in the "Admin" group that you have set up in Okta.
Here is a youtube video which walks you through
the Okta demo and shows how simple it is to set
this all up:
