Does Webflow support Okta authentication or only Auth0?

Webflow supports Auth0 authentication, but it does not have native support for Okta authentication out of the box. However, there is a way to integrate Okta authentication with Webflow by using custom code and the Webflow API.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to integrate Okta authentication with Webflow:

  1. Set up an Okta account: Sign up for an Okta developer account if you don't have one already. Once you've set it up, you'll need to create an Okta application and configure it with the necessary settings.

  2. Add Okta authentication code: In the Webflow Designer, go to the page where you want to add Okta authentication. Open the page settings panel on the right side and navigate to the Custom Code tab. Add the Okta Sign-In Widget code to the Head Code section. Make sure to replace the placeholders in the code with your Okta credentials.

  3. Create a login form: Drag and drop a form element onto your Webflow page. Add the necessary form fields for the Okta login, such as email and password inputs. You can style the form to match your website design using Webflow's visual editor.

  4. Add form interactions: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Interactions panel and create a form interaction for the login form. Set the interaction trigger to the form submit event. Add a custom code action to handle the form submission and trigger the Okta authentication.

  5. Handle authentication with custom code: Write custom JavaScript code to handle the form submission event and authenticate the user with Okta. Use the Okta JavaScript SDK to make the API calls required for authentication. You can also use the Webflow API to update the UI based on the authentication status.

  6. Test and deploy: Test the Okta authentication integration on a staging environment to ensure it is working correctly. Once you are confident that everything is working as expected, deploy the changes to your live Webflow site.

By following the steps outlined above, you can integrate Okta authentication with your Webflow site. This will allow your users to log in using their Okta credentials and access protected areas of your website.
