Okta credentials#

You can use these credentials to authenticate when using the HTTP Request node to make a Custom API call.

Prerequisites#

Create an Okta free trial or create an admin account on an existing Okta org.

Supported authentication methods#

  • SSWS API Access token

Refer to Okta's documentation for more information about the service.

This is a credential-only node. Refer to Custom API operations to learn more. View example workflows and related content on n8n's website.

Using SSWS API access token#

To configure this credential, you'll need:

  • The URL: The base URL of your Okta org, also referred to as your unique subdomain. There are two quick ways to access it:
    1. In the Admin Console, select your Profile, hover over the domain listed below your username, and select the Copy icon. Paste this into n8n, but be sure to add https:// before it.
    2. Copy the base URL of your Admin Console URL, for example https://dev-123456-admin.okta.com. Paste it into n8n and remove -admin, for example: https://dev-123456.okta.com.
  • An SSWS Access Token: Create a token by going to Security > API > Tokens > Create token. Refer to Create Okta API tokens for more information.
