Hi all,

We’re working on getting OIDC Okta running with galaxy and we’re hitting a bug.

We get:  
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: [https://myco.okta.com/oauth2/.well-known/openid-configuration?client\_id=](https://myco.okta.com/oauth2/.well-known/openid-configuration?client_id=)…

But our well known openid config doesn’t have oauth2 in the url  
[https://myco.okta.com/.well-known/openid-configuration?client\_id=](https://myco.okta.com/.well-known/openid-configuration?client_id=)…

On the oidc\_backends.config.xml, we have:

\<redirect\_uri\>[https://galaxy.myco.org/authnz/okta/callback](https://galaxy.myco.org/authnz/okta/callback)\</redirect\_uri\>  
\<api\_url\>[https://myco.okta.com/oauth2](https://myco.okta.com/oauth2)\</api\_url\>

Thanks!

Hi @jdlamstein

If you would like to help us to develop that authentication method, please reach out to the developers. [Galaxy Working Groups and Projects - Galaxy Community Hub](https://galaxyproject.org/community/wg/)
