Check OIDC Configuration and Audit Logs
Since some users can log in while others are stuck in a loop, this points to a configuration or callback URL issue. The Audit and Troubleshoot page is your best starting point.
Debug Steps
1. Check the Audit page at
https://app.descope.com/audits for SSO-related events
2. Look for failed authentication attempts and examine the OIDC userinfo endpoint responses
3. Verify these OIDC settings in your tenant configuration:
- Callback URL matches exactly between Okta and Descope
- Client ID and Secret are correct
- Redirect URIs are properly configured in both systems
- No URL encoding issues or trailing slashes
Common Loop Causes
• Callback URL mismatch between Okta configuration and Descope settings
• Missing or incorrect redirect URI configuration
• Token endpoint accessibility issues
• Scope configuration problems
Check if the users experiencing loops have any common attributes (domain, group membership, etc.) that might affect attribute mapping or user provisioning.
