Update other Okta settings

On This Page

After you add your custom URL, some features or APIs require additional configuration to reflect that change.

Authorization Server issuer

After you customize your Okta domain URL, existing Custom Authorization Servers continue to use the Okta organization URL until you change it. All new Custom Authorization Servers use the custom URL by default.

You need to update existing Custom Authorization Servers to return the custom domain as the issuer value:

  1. From the Developer Console, select API and then Authorization Servers.
  2. Select the Custom Authorization Server that you want to update and click Edit.
  3. From the Issuer drop-down box, select the custom URL and click Save.

Additionally, you might want to change the issuer for your OpenID Connect applications that are using the Org authorization server.

The Admin Console (Classic UI) is required for this guide.

The upper-left corner of the page should say Classic UI. If it says Developer Console, click the drop-down box to change it to Classic UI.

  1. Make sure that you are using the Admin Console. If you see Developer Console in the top left of the page, click it and select Classic UI to switch.
  2. From the Admin Console, select Applications and then the OpenID Connect application that you want to update.
  3. Select the Sign On tab, scroll to the OpenID Connect ID Token section, and then click Edit.
  4. From the Issuer drop-down box, select the custom URL and click Save.

Update application endpoints

If you have applications that use Okta endpoints with the uncustomized URL domain, update them to use the custom URL domain.
