Going to need a lot more specific details. Will likely need to at least see the relevent views, urls, and settings.

Below are okta config sent for authentication.

OKTA\_AUTH = {  
“ORG\_URL”: “[dev.okta.com/](http://dev.okta.com/)”,  
“ISSUER”: “[dev.okta.com/oauth2/default](http://dev.okta.com/oauth2/default)”,  
“CLIENT\_ID”: “clientid”,  
“CLIENT\_SECRET”: “client secret”,  
“SCOPES”: “openid profile email offline\_access”, # this is the default and can be omitted  
“REDIRECT\_URI”: “127.0.0.1:8000/authorization-code/callback”,  
“LOGIN\_REDIRECT\_URL”: “127.0.0.1:8000/test”, # default  
“CACHE\_PREFIX”: “okta”, # default  
“CACHE\_ALIAS”: “default”, # default  
“PUBLIC\_NAMED\_URLS”: (), # default  
“PUBLIC\_URLS”: (), # default  
“USE\_USERNAME”: False, # default  
}

What it does is, it authenticates the request for okta oidc and should redirects login to my application "127.0.0.1:8000/test

I had to remove http and https ahead of every request as django community was not allowing me to put more than 2 urls

Redirect uri is a callback route of okta. Can you please help? Thanks

When posting code here, you can enclose it between lines of three backtick - ` characters. That means you’ll have a line of ```, then the code, then another line of ```. This will maintain the formatting of the code and prevent interpretation of things like `https://...`
