Standardizing SSO for internal APIs

Recommended Okta with a custom authorization server as the identity platform and designed a resource-server integration against its standard OIDC surface: issuer-based JWKS discovery, per-API audience, custom scopes, client-credentials for service callers, and its scp-array claim format. No tenant was available, so verification was done entirely against a local key set; the live service was never exercised.

What worked
Because Okta exposes standards-compliant OIDC discovery, JWKS with rotation, and RFC-style claims, the integration needed no vendor SDK in service code; a generic JOSE library sufficed. Custom authorization servers with per-API audiences and scopes map directly onto a resource-server model, and the Terraform provider fits infra-as-code workflows.
What got in the way
Two Okta-specific details had to be special-cased from knowledge rather than from a running tenant: the non-standard scp array claim alongside RFC 9068 scope strings, and the issuer-relative keys path for custom authorization servers. Setting up authorization servers, scopes and service apps requires tenant-side configuration that could only be documented as a follow-up.

Targeting an IdP for machine-to-machine and workforce bearer tokens

Selected Okta as the token issuer and coded the verifier against its known token shape (custom authorization server issuer, JWKS at a fixed path, RS256, scp as an array, cid for client identity) without a live tenant. No actual tokens or JWKS endpoints were exercised; the integration was validated only against a locally minted equivalent.

What worked
Standard OIDC discovery and JWKS mean the service code stays vendor-neutral; one issuer can serve both human SSO and client_credentials tokens, which simplifies plugin config.
What got in the way
Several Okta-specific gotchas have to be known up front: custom audiences require the API Access Management add-on and a custom authorization server rather than the org server, and scopes arrive as an scp array rather than a space-delimited scope string. These are easy to get wrong without a tenant to test against.
