Okta

Using Okta with Butler Auth.

Butler Auth configuration

The settings in the config file are:

okta:                               # "Okta" provider
    enable: false
    userDirectory: lab              # Qlik Sense user directory that will be used for the authenticated user
    userIdShort: true               # If true, the email domain will be removed. I.e. "joe.smith@domain.com" will be changed to "joe.smith".
    clientId: <Client ID>
    clientSecret: <Client secret>
    oktaDomain: <Okta domain from Google admin console>  # E.q. https://myid-123456.okta.com'
    idp:

Field	Description
enable	Enable or disable this authentication provider. true/false.
userDirectory	The Qlik Sense Enterprise user directory that will be used once the user has been authenticated by the authentication provider.
userIdShort	The provider will return the user’s email address. If `userIdShort` is set to `true`, the @ character and email domain will be stripped from the email address returned by the provider. For example, “joe@company.com” would become just “joe”. true/false.

idp	Can usually be left blank.

Okta configuration

These are the general steps to set up Okta for use with Butler Auth.
In the screen shots below Okta’s free tier is used - things might look different for you.

Sign into Okta. Go to the Applications tab:
Create a new “Web” application and give it a good name:

Fill in Name, Base URIs (which is the Butler Auth URL) and Login redirect URIs (which is Butler Auth’s Okta callback URL). Review the other fields to make sure they match your use case. Click Done.
Add users as needed.
