  • Make sure that the public domain defined in Essential section is added to the local hosts file pointing to the machine that hosts Access Gateway. For example, the application in this example has been created using the public domain: header.service.gateway. In order to access this, you must add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx noauth.okta.com to the local hosts file where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the machine that hosts Access Gateway.

  • When testing, note that the address bar changes the Header Local URL to the Public Domain URL (in this example, https://noauth-okta.com).
