The tutorial series on integrating Kong Konnect with Okta focuses on implementing service authentication and authorization using the OpenID Connect (OIDC) plugin, specifically detailing how to set up a basic access control policy based on Okta groups and claims. It explains how to utilize OIDC claims and scopes to control access, where a claim based on an Okta group is defined and included in all scopes, allowing only users within that group to access specific Kong routes. The tutorial demonstrates configuring Okta with users and groups, creating a new claim, and enabling the OIDC plugin to ensure only tokens containing the specified claim can consume the route. The process involves testing access with users to verify whether their tokens possess the necessary claims, thus determining their ability to access the route, and concludes by inviting users to start a free trial or explore further tutorials on enhancing their developer pipelines and API management.
