Integrate with Okta using the Okta-hosted Sign-In Widget

These SDKs help you integrate with Okta by redirecting to the Okta Sign-In Widget using OpenID Connect (OIDC) client libraries.

• ASP.NET redirect authentication sample app (opens new window): See Okta-Hosted Login (opens new window) for a redirect configuration.
• ASP.NET Web Forms redirect authentication sample app (opens new window): See Okta-Hosted Login (opens new window) for a redirect configuration.

Integrate with Okta using embedded Sign-In Widget and SDKs

These SDKs help you integrate with Okta to build your own fully-branded authentication by embedding an Okta Sign-In Widget and/or SDK.

Okta Identity Engine:

• Identity Engine .NET SDK (opens new window)
• ASP.NET embedded authentication with SDK sample app (opens new window)
• ASP.NET embedded Sign-In Widget sample app (opens new window)

Okta Classic Engine:

• The Okta .NET Authentication SDK (opens new window) is useful if you can't use OIDC and need your server-side code to interact with the Authentication API for handling the sign-in flow.
• Okta's Okta ASP.NET OIDC middleware Integration (opens new window) makes it easy to add sign-in to your ASP.NET Core applications and protect your Web APIs.
• Okta ASP.NET OIDC integration on NuGet (opens new window)

Other Classic Engine .NET libraries

• The Okta Management SDK for .NET (opens new window) uses .NET Standard and works with both .NET Framework and .NET Core. It's helpful to work with the Okta Management API to manage users, groups, apps, and so on, on the fly.
• The Okta Xamarin SDK (opens new window) follows current best practice for native apps using OIDC and the Authorization Code flow + PKCE.
