NGINX as API Gateway

Okta works with NGINX to provide secure access to API endpoints for both end users and applications. Using Okta, you can easily create and manage access policies tied to end-user attributes such as group membership and network location. When an end user authenticates with Okta, Okta creates a token that represents the user’s level of access. For API endpoints that are being served by NGINX, NGINX inspects the access tokens and validates whether or not the user is authorized. Users can also be prompted to grant the application visibility into their access levels.

Add this integration to enable authentication and provisioning capabilities.
