Dear Vishi, dear logs for today.

Okta

Okta is an Identity Provider (IdP). Identity Providers are responsible for implementing authentication and authorization.

First, let’s talk about OAuth 2.0. OAuth 2.0 is a protocol primarily focused on authorization. In a nutshell, the protocol expects a Bearer Token to be included in the headers of an HTTP request.

How we obtain the bearer token depends on the use case. Common approaches include:

Hard-coding the token
Using SSO (logging in through a webpage)
Using machine-to-machine communication, also known as the Client Credentials Grant Type.
