Step 2: Configure an Okta Developer Account

Once you’ve created a (free!) Okta developer account , you’ll need to add users and then create an App to link the IDP to your Yext Site.

Add Users

Navigate to Directory, People.
Click “Add a Person” to add users to your Okta Account.
You can choose to create user groups to easily add certain controls to certain sets of users.

Create an App

Navigate to Applications on the left panel.
Click “Create App Integration”.
Choose OIDC as your sign-in method.
Choose Web Application as your application type.
Under general settings, you’ll want to name your App, “Yext Site with Okta” as an example.
Add your sign-in Redirect URIs.
You can choose to add your production and/or staging link, which can be obtained from the Yext Platform as configured in Step 1.
After copying and pasting your link, append “/oauth/callback” and make sure to add “https://” to the beginning of the URL.
Choose the appropriate access controls to choose users you’d like to assign to your integration.
Click Save.

Next, you’ll want to navigate to the General tab on your app and take note of the generated Client ID and Client Secret, which you will need for the next part.

If you haven’t already, you’ll also want to navigate to assignments and make sure that you have the correct set of users / user groups assigned to your app.
