We're happy to announce that dynamic client registration support for application management using Okta is now generally available.
With this feature, you can directly integrate Dev Portal with your existing Okta identity platform for client authentication and authorization management to provide a more secure solution for your distributed applications. With this integration, you reduce the overhead of creating the application and mapping the credentials in both the Dev Portal and third-party identity provider.
Additional identity provider (IdP) support will be added in the upcoming releases. You can learn more about dynamic client registration in the documentation.
The Kong Konnect developer portal now supports application registration for services deployed across any runtime group to streamline the application registration process. We're excited to announce that this feature is now GA.
Earlier, application registration was only supported for services proxied through the default runtime group. This forced users to deploy applications that needed to be published on the developer portal only in the default runtime group. With this improvement, you now get the flexibility to register applications across default as well as custom runtime groups.
For custom groups, this feature will be supported for gateways on Kong Gateway 3.0 and above versions. There are no gateway version constraints for the default runtime group.
Refer to our documentation for additional details.
