Okta Authentication

[verbal coral]

I am looking to implement Okta Auth login for a store.

Since the customers are on Okta are not on the store, what would be a good way to add the customer info to the store.

What I am thinking is, when they login I would first checking using the store API to see if they are existing there if they are not there then create a account with the credentials that they have entered and continue with the flow.

Is there a better way to do this or the only way for the time being ?

(also sorry if the post is tagged incorrectly)

I think your flow seems pretty good

You can see that kind of example in the auth plugin as well

okta and auth0 are the same company, there is a plugin in progress with auth0

[cyan needle]

I was about to say the same 😄 you are faster

[verbal coral]

I did see the plugin. Seems like it is almost completed. I would like to try it once its public

i'm currently testing it in a dev env. The result is really good. I hope it will be release in the coming days(hours)

I ll do review asap and let you know guys. Also, @ocean lichen have you seen my pr that gets rid of the cookies in favour of the medusa session? I wasn’t able to do it previously but since the latest changes and plugin update it worked for me. Could you give it a shot if you have a slot?

[ocean lichen]

yeah. I was doing a test with the two PR this morning. But... blocked in meetings... I will do it this afternoon

[cyan needle]

No problem at all, only if you get a chance too ahah

[cyan needle]

@verbal coral few changes are requested and the. A first version should be available, followed by a small cleanup to simplify a bit more the ease of adding new strategies to the plugin

awesome

I see this PR here and I would like to test this feature. Just wondering if the branch is in a stable enough condition for me to test this with Auth0?

@quasi ginkgo I think that it will be once @indigo crest fixed the tests and cleaned up the pr. It should be merged and released soon after tht

[quasi ginkgo]

Can we merge this behind a feature toggle as a beta feature perhaps so people can start testing it?

[cyan needle]

It needs merging and be adjusted with what have been done on the main branch. Since it is a contributor branch I am not able to do it unfortunately and i have no choice than waiting the contributor works. Sorry for the delay

I saw that the plugin is ready for use, thanks for the development.
I am trying to follow the docs to use it for the admin using Okta.
I have a small question, does a user need to be created on the admin side so that he can login? Also does he need to have specific role for the same.
