How to pass certificate over rest request?
I am building an application which registers an external IdP with Okta.
Okta API doc.
In order to do that, I need IdP certificate & other meta data from the user.
Thus workflow will look like this:
User calls my endpoint and provides me with Idp details ( certificate
& meta data )My application will then use the user provided Idp Details to call
Okta and register the IdP.
However, how should user provide me with Idp ceritificate - encrypted or un-encrypted?
api certificate okta

If you are using https everything is already encrypted. Assuming there is some sort of authentication to access your application, I would probably just proxy the parameters to the Okta API (maybe with some validation to avoid sending known bad requests).
Does that help?
