Make note of this URL as you’ll need it later. If you are on the Okta Admin console, the URL will appear as https://{your-tenant}-admin.okta.com. The the URL excluding -admin is your Okta domain.

3.2. Create API Token​

  • Login to the Okta Admin Console and navigate to the API Tokens page. (Sidebar: Security -> API -> Tokens)
  • Click on the Create Token button. You will see the following screen.
  • Add a name for the token(eg. leen-okta-idp), set allowable origin to Any IP and click on the Create Token button.
  • On the next screen, you will see the secret API token.
  • Record your API token secret somewhere safe. After the credential window is closed, the secret is no longer visible.
