Getting started

Prerequisites

  • Java 11 or later

To use this SDK, you will need to include the following dependencies:

For Apache Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.okta.sdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>okta-sdk-api</artifactId>
    <version>${okta.sdk.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.okta.sdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>okta-sdk-impl</artifactId>
    <version>${okta.sdk.version}</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

For Gradle:

compile "com.okta.sdk:okta-sdk-api:${okta.sdk.version}"
runtime "com.okta.sdk:okta-sdk-impl:${okta.sdk.version}"

where ${okta.sdk.version} is the latest published version in Maven Central.

SNAPSHOT Dependencies

Snapshots are deployed off of the 'master' branch to OSSRH and can be consumed using the following repository configured for Apache Maven or Gradle:

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/

You will also need:

Construct a client instance by passing it your Okta domain name and API token:

ApiClient client = Clients.builder()
    .setOrgUrl("https://{yourOktaDomain}")  // e.g. https://dev-123456.okta.com
    .setClientCredentials(new TokenClientCredentials("{apiToken}"))
    .build();

Hard-coding the Okta domain and API token works for quick tests, but for real projects you should use a more secure way of storing these values (such as environment variables). This library supports a few different configuration sources, covered in the configuration reference section.

OAuth 2.0

Okta allows you to interact with Okta APIs using scoped OAuth 2.0 access tokens. Each access token enables the bearer to perform specific actions on specific Okta endpoints, with that ability controlled by which scopes the access token contains.

This SDK supports this feature only for service-to-service applications. Check out our guides to learn more about how to register a new service application using a private and public key pair.

Check out our guide to learn how to generate a JWK and convert the same to PEM format which would be used as PrivateKey in Client creation.

When using this approach, you will not need an API Token because the SDK will request an access token for you. In order to use OAuth 2.0, construct a client instance by passing the following parameters:

ApiClient client = Clients.builder()
    .setOrgUrl("https://{yourOktaDomain}")  // e.g. https://dev-123456.okta.com
    .setAuthorizationMode(AuthorizationMode.PRIVATE_KEY)
    .setClientId("{clientId}")
    .setKid("{kid}") // optional
    .setScopes(new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList("okta.users.manage", "okta.apps.manage", "okta.groups.manage")))
    .setPrivateKey("/path/to/yourPrivateKey.pem")
    // (or) .setPrivateKey("full PEM payload")
    // (or) .setPrivateKey(Paths.get("/path/to/yourPrivateKey.pem"))
    // (or) .setPrivateKey(inputStream)
    // (or) .setPrivateKey(privateKey)
    // (or) .setOAuth2AccessToken("access token string") // if set, private key (if supplied) will be ignored
    .build();

Usage guide

These examples will help you understand how to use this library. You can also browse the full API reference documentation.

Once you initialize a ApiClient instance, you can pass this instance to the constructor of any API area clients (such as UserApi, GroupApi, ApplicationApi etc.). You can start using these clients to call management APIs relevant to the chosen API area.

Non-Admin users

Non-admin users will require to be granted specific permissions to perform certain tasks and access resources.

Check out the following resources to learn more:

Authenticate a User

This library should be used with the Okta management API. For authentication, we recommend using an OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect library such as Spring Security OAuth or Okta's Spring Boot integration. For Okta Authentication API you can use Authentication SDK.

Get a User

UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);
userApi.getUser("userId", "application/json", "true");

List all Users

UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);
List<User> users = userApi.listUsers("application/json", null, null, 5, null, null, null, null);

// stream
users.stream()
    .forEach(user -> {
      // do something
    });

For more examples of handling collections see the pagination section below.

Filter or search for Users

UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);

// search by email
List<User> users = userApi.listUsers("application/json", null, null, 5, null, "profile.email eq \"jcoder@example.com\"", null, null);

// filter parameter
userApi.listUsers("application/json",null, null, null, "status eq \"ACTIVE\"",null, null, null);

Create a User

UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);
User user = UserBuilder.instance()
    .setEmail("joe.coder@example.com")
    .setFirstName("Joe")
    .setLastName("Code")
    .buildAndCreate(userApi);

Create a User with Group(s)

UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);
User user = UserBuilder.instance()
    .setEmail("joe.coder@example.com")
    .setFirstName("Joe")
    .setLastName("Code")
    .setGroups(Arrays.asList("groupId-1", "groupId-2"))
    .buildAndCreate(userApi);

Update a User

UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);
UpdateUserRequest updateUserRequest = new UpdateUserRequest();
UserProfile userProfile = new UserProfile();
userProfile.setNickName("Batman");
updateUserRequest.setProfile(userProfile);
userApi.updateUser(user.getId(), updateUserRequest, true);

Get and set custom attributes

Custom user profile attributes can be added with code like below, but the respective property must first be associated to the User schema. You can use the Profile Editor in your Org Administrator UI (Developer Console) or the Schemas API to manage schema extensions.

Once you have created the custom attributes via UI, you can use the code below to get and set values:

UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);
UpdateUserRequest updateUserRequest = new UpdateUserRequest();
UserProfile userProfile = new UserProfile();
userProfile.getAdditionalProperties().put("foo", "bar");
updateUserRequest.setProfile(userProfile);
userApi.updateUser(user.getId(), updateUserRequest, true);

Remove a User

UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);

// deactivate first
userApi.deleteUser(user.getId(), false, null);

// see https://developer.okta.com/docs/api/openapi/okta-management/management/tag/User/#tag/User/operation/deleteUser
userApi.deleteUser(user.getId(), false, null);

List Groups

GroupApi groupApi = new GroupApi(client);
List<Group> groups = groupApi.listGroups(null, null, null, 10, null, null, null, null);

Create a Group

GroupApi groupApi = new GroupApi(client);
Group group = GroupBuilder.instance()
    .setName("a-group-name")
    .setDescription("Example Group")
    .buildAndCreate(groupApi);

Add a User to a Group

// create user
UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);
User user = UserBuilder.instance()
    .setEmail("joe.coder@example.com")
    .setFirstName("Joe")
    .setLastName("Code")
    .buildAndCreate(userApi);

// create group
GroupApi groupApi = new GroupApi(client);
Group group = GroupBuilder.instance()
    .setName("a-group-name")
    .setDescription("Example Group")
    .buildAndCreate(groupApi);

// assign user to group
groupApi.assignUserToGroup(group.getId(), user.getId());

List a User's enrolled Factors

UserFactorApi userFactorApi = new UserFactorApi(client);
List<UserFactor> userFactors = userFactorApi.listFactors("userId");

Get a User Factor

UserFactorApi userFactorApi = new UserFactorApi(client);
UserFactor userFactor = userFactorApi.getFactor("userId", "factorId");

Enroll a User in a new Factor

UserFactorApi userFactorApi = new UserFactorApi(client);
UserFactorSMSProfile UserFactorSMSProfile = new UserFactorSMSProfile();
UserFactorSMSProfile.setPhoneNumber("555 867 5309");
UserFactorSMS UserFactorSMS = new UserFactorSMS();
UserFactorSMS.setProvider(UserFactorProvider.OKTA);
UserFactorSMS.setFactorType(UserFactorType.SMS);
UserFactorSMS.setProfile(UserFactorSMSProfile);
userFactorApi.enrollFactor("userId", UserFactorSMS, true, "templateId", 30, true, null);

Activate a Factor

UserFactorApi userFactorApi = new UserFactorApi(client);
UserFactorCall userFactor = (UserFactorCall) userFactorApi.getFactor("userId", "factorId");
UserFactorActivateRequest userFactorActivateRequest = new UserFactorActivateRequest();
userFactorActivateRequest.setPassCode("123456");
userFactorApi.activateFactor("userId", "factorId", userFactorActivateRequest);

Verify a Factor

UserFactorApi userFactorApi = new UserFactorApi(client);
UserFactor userFactor = userFactorApi.getFactor( "userId", "factorId");
UserFactorVerifyRequest userFactorVerifyRequest = new UserFactorVerifyRequest();
userFactorVerifyRequest.setPassCode("123456");
UserFactorVerifyResponse verifyUserFactorResponse =
    userFactorApi.verifyFactor("userId", "factorId", "templateId", 10, "xForwardedFor", "userAgent", "acceptLanguage", userFactorVerifyRequest);

Create a SWA Application

ApplicationApi applicationApi = new ApplicationApi(client);
SwaApplicationSettingsApplication swaApplicationSettingsApplication = new SwaApplicationSettingsApplication();
swaApplicationSettingsApplication.buttonField("btn-login")
    .passwordField("txtbox-password")
    .usernameField("txtbox-username")
    .url("https://example.com/login.html");
SwaApplicationSettings swaApplicationSettings = new SwaApplicationSettings();
swaApplicationSettings.app(swaApplicationSettingsApplication);
BrowserPluginApplication browserPluginApplication = new BrowserPluginApplication();
browserPluginApplication.name(BrowserPluginApplication.NameEnum.SWA);
browserPluginApplication.label("Sample Plugin App");
browserPluginApplication.settings(swaApplicationSettings);

// create BrowserPluginApplication app type
BrowserPluginApplication createdApp =
        (BrowserPluginApplication) applicationApi.createApplication(browserPluginApplication, true, null);

Get an Application

ApplicationApi applicationApi = new ApplicationApi(client);
BookmarkApplication bookmarkApp = (BookmarkApplication) applicationApi.getApplication("bookmark-app-id", null);

List all Applications

ApplicationApi applicationApi = new ApplicationApi(client);
List<Application> applications = applicationApi.listApplications(null, null, true, null, null, null, true);

Get a Policy

PolicyApi policyApi = new PolicyApi(client);
Policy policy =
    policyApi.getPolicy("policy-id", null);

List Policies

PolicyApi policyApi = new PolicyApi(client);
List<Policy> policies = policyApi.listPolicies(PolicyType.PASSWORD.name(), LifecycleStatus.ACTIVE.name(), null, null, null, null, null, null);

List System Logs

SystemLogApi systemLogApi = new SystemLogApi(client);

// use a filter (start date, end date, filter, or query, sort order) all options are nullable
List<LogEvent> logEvents =
    systemLogApi.listLogEvents(null, null, null, "interestingURI.com", null, 100, "ASCENDING");

Call other API endpoints

Not every API endpoint is represented by a method in this library. You can call any Okta management API endpoint using this generic syntax:

ApiClient apiClient = buildApiClient("orgBaseUrl", "apiKey");

// Create a User
String email = "joe.coder+" + UUID.randomUUID() + "@example.com";
UserProfile userProfile = new com.okta.sdk.resource.model.UserProfile()
    .firstName("Joe")
    .lastName("Coder")
    .email(email)
    .mobilePhone("1234567890")
    .login(email);
com.okta.sdk.resource.model.CreateUserRequest createUserRequest = new com.okta.sdk.resource.model.CreateUserRequest();
createUserRequest.setProfile(userProfile);
List<com.okta.sdk.resource.client.Pair> queryParams = new ArrayList<com.okta.sdk.resource.client.Pair>();
queryParams.addAll(client.parameterToPair("activate", "true"));
queryParams.addAll(client.parameterToPair("provider", null));
queryParams.addAll(client.parameterToPair("nextLogin", null));
List<com.okta.sdk.resource.client.Pair> collectionQueryParams = new ArrayList<com.okta.sdk.resource.client.Pair>();
Map<String, String> headerParams = new HashMap<String, String>();
Map<String, String> cookieParams = new HashMap<String, String>();
Map<String, Object> formParams = new HashMap<String, Object>();
TypeReference<com.okta.sdk.resource.model.User> returnType = new TypeReference<com.okta.sdk.resource.model.User>() {
};

com.okta.sdk.resource.model.User user = client.invokeAPI(
    "/api/v1/users",
    "POST",
    queryParams,
    collectionQueryParams,
    new StringJoiner("&").toString(),
    createUserRequest,
    headerParams,
    cookieParams,
    formParams,
    "application/json",
    "application/json",
    new String[] { "apiToken", "oauth2" },
    returnType);

Pagination

Collections can be fetched with manually controlled Pagination.

UserApi userApi = new UserApi(client);
List<User> users = new ArrayList<>();
String after = null;
do {
    users.addAll(userApi.listUsers("application/json",null, after, 200, null, null, null, null));
    after = PaginationUtil.getAfter(userApi.getApiClient());
} while (StringUtils.isNotBlank(after));

Thread Safety

Every instance of the SDK Client is thread-safe. You should use the same instance throughout the entire lifecycle of your application. Each instance has its own Connection pool and Caching resources that are automatically released when the instance is garbage collected.

Inject the Okta Java SDK in Spring

To integrate the Okta Java SDK into your Spring Boot application you just need to add a dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.okta.spring</groupId>
    <artifactId>okta-spring-sdk</artifactId>
    <version>${okta.spring.version}</version>
</dependency>

Then define the following properties:

Key Description
okta.client.orgUrl Your Okta Url: https://{yourOktaDomain}, i.e. https://dev-123456.okta.com
okta.client.token An Okta API token, see creating an API token for more info.

NOTE: The configuration techniques described in the configuration reference section will work as well.

All that is left is to inject the client (com.okta.sdk.client.Client)! Take a look at this post for more info on the best way to inject your beans.

For more information check out the Okta Spring Boot Starter project!

Configuration reference

This library looks for configuration in the following sources:

  1. An okta.yaml at the root of the applications classpath
  2. An okta.yaml file in a .okta folder in the current user's home directory (~/.okta/okta.yaml or %userprofile%\.okta\okta.yaml)
  3. Environment variables
  4. Java System Properties
  5. Configuration explicitly set programmatically (see the example in Getting started)

Higher numbers win. In other words, configuration passed via the constructor will override configuration found in environment variables, which will override configuration in okta.yaml (if any), and so on.

YAML configuration

The full YAML configuration looks like:

okta:
  client:
    connectionTimeout: 30 # seconds
    orgUrl: "https://{yourOktaDomain}" # i.e. https://dev-123456.okta.com
    proxy:
      port: null
      host: null
      username: null
      password: null
    token: yourApiToken
    requestTimeout: 0 # seconds
    rateLimit:
      maxRetries: 4

Environment variables

Each one of the configuration values above can be turned into an environment variable name with the _ (underscore) character:

  • OKTA_CLIENT_CONNECTIONTIMEOUT
  • OKTA_CLIENT_TOKEN
  • and so on

System properties

Each one of the configuration values written in 'dot' notation to be used as a Java system property:

  • okta.client.connectionTimeout
  • okta.client.token
  • and so on

Connection Retry

By default, this SDK will retry requests that return with response code 503, 504, 429(caused by rate limiting), or socket/connection exceptions.

Default configuration tells SDK to retry requests up to 4 times without time limitation:

okta.client.requestTimeout = 0 //Sets the maximum number of seconds to wait when retrying before giving up.
okta.client.rateLimit.maxRetries = 4 //Sets the maximum number of attempts to retrying before giving up.

For interactive clients (i.e. web pages) it is optimal to set requestTimeout to be 10 sec (or less, based on your needs), and the maxRetries attempts to be 0. This means the requests will retry as many times as possible within 10 seconds:

okta.client.requestTimeout = 10
okta.client.rateLimit.maxRetries = 0

(or)

import com.okta.sdk.client.Client;
import com.okta.sdk.client.Clients;

Client client = Clients.builder()
                .setRetryMaxElapsed(10)
                .setRetryMaxAttempts(0)
                .build();

For batch/non-interactive processes optimal values are opposite. It is optimal to set requestTimeout to be 0, and the maxRetries attempts to be 5. The SDK will retry requests up to 5 times before failing:

okta.client.requestTimeout = 0
okta.client.rateLimit.maxRetries = 5

If you need to limit execution time and retry attempts, you can set both requestTimeout and the maxRetries. For example, the following example would retry up to 15 times within 30 seconds:

okta.client.requestTimeout = 30
okta.client.rateLimit.maxRetries = 15

To disable the retry functionality you need to set maxRetries to zero:

okta.client.rateLimit.maxRetries = 0

Caching

By default, a simple production-grade in-memory CacheManager will be enabled when the Client instance is created. This CacheManager implementation has the following characteristics:

  • It assumes a default time-to-live and time-to-idle of 1 hour for all cache entries.
  • It auto-sizes itself based on your application's memory usage. It will not cause OutOfMemoryExceptions.

The default cache manager is not suitable for an application deployed across multiple JVMs.

This is because the default implementation is 100% in-memory (in-process) in the current JVM. If more than one JVM is deployed with the same application codebase - for example, a web application deployed on multiple identical hosts for scaling or high availability - each JVM would have it's own in-memory cache.

As a result, if your application that uses an Okta Client instance is deployed across multiple JVMs, you SHOULD ensure that the Client is configured with a CacheManager implementation that uses coherent and clustered/distributed memory.

See the ClientBuilder Javadoc for more details on caching.

Caching for applications deployed on a single JVM

If your application is deployed on a single JVM and you still want to use the default CacheManager implementation, but the default cache configuration does not meet your needs, you can specify a different configuration. For example:

Caches.newCacheManager()
    .withDefaultTimeToLive(300, TimeUnit.SECONDS) // default
    .withDefaultTimeToIdle(300, TimeUnit.SECONDS) //general default
    .withCache(forResource(User.class) //User-specific cache settings
        .withTimeToLive(1, TimeUnit.HOURS)
        .withTimeToIdle(30, TimeUnit.MINUTES))
    .withCache(forResource(Group.class) //Group-specific cache settings
        .withTimeToLive(1, TimeUnit.HOURS))
    //... etc ...
    .build();

Disable Caching

While production applications will usually enable a working CacheManager as described above, you might wish to disable caching entirely. You can do this by configuring a disabled CacheManager instance. For example:

ApiClient client = Clients.builder()
    .setCacheManager(Caches.newDisabledCacheManager())
    .build();

Building the SDK

In most cases, you won't need to build the SDK from source. If you want to build it yourself, take a look at the build instructions wiki (though just cloning the repo and running mvn install should get you going).
