In this Kong Konnect tutorial, you'll learn how to get started with Konnect and manage your API ecosystem from a single, easy-to-use interface. Learn more about Konnect and start a free trial: https://bit.ly/3vDuUBz

We'll cover how to use Konnect Runtime Manager to set up your own Kong Gateway instance in Docker (1:00). Then we'll walk through how you can expose, secure and manage your first service using the Konnect ServiceHub (2:22). Lastly, we'll publish that API to our developer portal and show how you can share that documentation with your users and developers all within Konnect (9:20).

Now your developers can focus on what really matters: building the functionality that powers your business.

In our third Kong and Okta tutorial, we’ll go through the introspection flow implementation. Learn more about Konnect and start a free trial: https://bit.ly/3vDuUBz

• Introspection Flow Overview (0:34)
• Set Up the Okta App (1:17)
• Apply OIDC (1:31)
• Test with Insomnia (2:29)

The introspection flow is part of the token validation process. Kong Gateway evaluates the injected token at the request processing time to see if it's still valid to the upstream services. The evaluation hits a specific Okta endpoint, passing the received token. Based on the response provided by Okta, Kong Gateway accepts or rejects the request.

• Konnect and Okta Integration Topology (0:23)
• Set Up Konnect Service and Route (2:23)
• Set Up Okta (3:42)
• Create Konnect Data Plane (4:10)
• Consume the Route without a Policy (5:10)
• Add OpenID Connect Plugin (5:44)
• Test the OpenID Connect Plugin (7:23)
• Upstream Header Injection (8:06)

Using Kong’s OpenID Connect (OIDC) plugin, Kong and Okta work together to solve three significant application development challenges:
1. Connectivity
2. Authentication
3. Authorization

The OIDC plugin enables Kong, as the API gateway, to communicate with Okta via the OAuth/OIDC flows. That way, your app teams don’t have to configure and diagnose authentication and authorization for each service individually. With these challenges solved, app teams have more time to build and innovate.

This series will show you how to implement service authentication and authorization for Kong Konnect and Okta using the OIDC plugin. In this tutorial, we’ll cover client credentials flow for application authentication. Parts 2-4 will cover:
• Authorization code for user authentication
• Integral introspection for token validation
• Access control based on Okta's groups and planes
