In this article, we provide step-by-step instructions on how to integrate MobileAction with Okta using the OpenID Connect (OIDC) with Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) flow.

What you need for the integration

To be able to set Single Sign-On (SSO) with Okta, you need to have an active Okta account and "Admin" access to the Okta dashboard.

Step-by-step integration

1. Create a new application in Okta

Start by logging in to your Okta dashboard. Then navigate to the Applications tab and click on Create App Integration. In this section, you need to choose the OIDC - OpenID Connect as the sign-in method. For the Application type, select Single-Page Application and then click Next.

2. Configure application settings

In this section, you need to start by providing a name for your application. After you give a name to your app, scroll down to the Grant type section and check the Authorization Code and Refresh Token checkboxes.

Then continue by entering MobileAction's redirect URIs under the Sign-in redirect URIs,;

3. Save and retrieve credentials

After you added the redirect URIs, click Save to create the application. Once the application is created, make sure to note down the Client ID from the General tab of your application.

4. Enable SSO on SearchAds.com

Log in to your SearchAds.com account and go to Manage Settings > Single Sign-On. Keep in mind that you need to have Admin access to be able to enable SSO.

Follow the steps below to enable SSO on SearchAds.com:

  • Switch the Single Sign-On toggle on.

  • Fill in the Client ID and the Well-Known OpenID Configuration URL (typically in the format https://[your-okta-domain]/.well-known/openid-configuration) fields.

  • Click on Save to enable the SSO.

If you would like more detailed information on retrieving the Well-Known OpenID Configuration URL, check out this Okta documentation.
