I have a VueJS 3 application running in a docker container using nginx as the web server.
I integrated okta for authentication. The okta integration works fine on localhost:3000 without ngnix. However, when deployed in production, after a successful authentication, the redirect get stuck on the callback page:
Callback router definition:
import { LoginCallback } from '@okta/okta-vue'
import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from 'vue-router'
const routes =[{
path: '/iam/callback',
component: () => LoginCallback
}]
const router = createRouter({
history: createWebHistory('/'),
routes
})
My Docker file looks like this:
FROM node:17.5-alpine3.14 as package
# set working directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/webapp
# install and cache app dependencies
COPY package*.json ./
COPY nginx.conf ./
#RUN npm install
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
# production environment
FROM nginx:1.21.6-alpine as production
COPY --from=package /usr/src/webapp/dist /usr/share/nginx/html
RUN rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d
EXPOSE 80
COPY entrypoint.sh /
# Make the file executable
RUN chmod +x /entrypoint.sh
CMD ["./entrypoint.sh"]
and the nginx config looks like this:
server {
listen 80;
location / {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
}
Is there something wrong with the nginx config?
Sign in process code:
const transaction = await this.$auth
.signInWithCredentials({
username: this.username,
password: this.password
})
.catch((error) => console.log(error))
if (transaction.status === 'SUCCESS') {
const originalUri = this.$auth.getOriginalUri()
if (!originalUri) {
this.$auth.setOriginalUri('/app/next')
}
this.$auth.token.getWithRedirect({
sessionToken: transaction.sessionToken,
responseType: 'access_token'
})
}

Not sure what the exact issue was, but changing the login flow, resolved the issue.
Instead of using the get I called my login flow to this:

Your
nginx.config
file needs to be made SPA-aware. That is, it needs to redirect all requests toindex.html
