Attempting to get a basic Spring Security and Okta setup working.

Anyone experienced the same? Any help from Okta

Answer 1

Looks like you may not have configured Okta as an IDP yet. Please make sure you follow the instructions here http://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/spring_security_saml.html#configuring-okta-to-work-with-spring-security-saml
Once you have set up the SAML app in Okta, you must configure "securityContext.xml" on the Spring side with the SAML metadata in order for your app to recognize Okta as an IDP.

Answer 2

If you are not worried about having multiple IDP's to be configured for your app authentication, you can define defaultIDP property as below.
Make sure you setup configure org.opensaml.saml2.metadata.provider.HTTPMetadataProvider or org.opensaml.saml2.metadata.provider.FilesystemMetadataProvider for your bean defn above.
This will get you to IDP based federation working. To enable SP federation refer to Spring SAML configuration guide on pivotal.io
