Only two calls actually touch the network: Authlib's authorize_redirect and
authorize_access_token. server/okta_fake.py stands in for both, dispatched from
okta_auth._build_oauth() before the real Okta config is even considered, and
production-refusing the same way ldap_fake.is_active() does - a non-SQLite
DATABASE_URL means production, full stop, no matter what WP_OKTA_FAKE_DIRECTORY
says. Everything this app itself decides stays real: the ?next= open-redirect
guard, the disabled-account check, JIT provisioning, and which claim carries
identity all run unmodified in app.py's okta_login()/okta_callback().
The fake needed one thing ldap_fake.py never did: something to actually redirect
the browser to and back, since Okta's real flow leaves the site and LDAP's never
did. Two routes stand in for Okta's own sign-in screen - a plain picker listing
whatever WP_OKTA_FAKE_DIRECTORY defines, and a consent step that hands back an
authorization code (or an error) at okta_callback, exactly the shape a real Okta
redirect would carry. Both are registered in app.py only when the fake is active
at import time, so in production they do not exist at all, not merely refuse a
request - confirmed by starting the app with the env var unset and checking
app.routes directly.
tests/browser_check.py's start_server() takes an optional extra_env now (no
existing caller passes a third positional arg, so none of the ~40 files that
import it needed touching) and sets WP_OKTA_FAKE_DIRECTORY unconditionally,
same reasoning the LDAP predecessor used: almost nothing signs in (seed() mints
tokens directly), but the one check that does should not fail mysteriously.
tests/url_state_check.py scenario 2, SKIPPED since T10.4, is un-skipped and now
drives the real round trip: login.html's own button, the fake picker page, the
fake consent redirect, okta_callback(). Carries forward the LDAP predecessor's
own bug fix too - asserting the app actually LEFT login.html, not just that
wp-creation-index.html appears somewhere in the URL (which the ?next= parameter
alone would satisfy).
tests/okta_auth_check.py is new, mirroring ldap_auth_check.py's two-layer shape:
guards that need no server (the production refusal, single-use/replay on the
authorization code), then a real running app for sign-in itself - an existing
admin surviving unchanged, JIT provisioning at the lowest role, a disabled
account refused despite Okta approving it, an unsolicited callback hit refused
without a 500, a tampered state refused, a denied consent refused, an unknown
identity refused BY THE SERVER (not just absent from the picker), a same-site
next= surviving and an off-site one ignored, and OKTA_IDENTITY_CLAIM genuinely
working under a non-default claim name. 22/22.
One thing this could not verify in this environment: url_state_check.py and
browser_check.py both need a headless Edge/Chrome via cdp.py, and this sandbox
has neither installed and no way to install one (no sudo). Confirmed the failure
is the tests' own designed-for exit 2 ("no headless-capable browser found; set
WP_BROWSER"), not a crash, and separately confirmed start_server() itself boots
cleanly with the fake wired in - health check, the picker page rendering with
the seeded identities, login.html all responding correctly - so the only gap is
the DOM-level click-through, not the server-side mechanism url_state_check
exercises (which okta_auth_check.py covers directly via HTTP instead).
wave-10.md's T10.7 bullet records the shape of what got built and the 22/22
result.

Decision, raised during T10.4 hazard review:
- Admin bootstrap: manage_users.py moves from creating an admin account to
promoting an existing one, by username, on a row Okta's JIT provisioning
(T10.3) already created. Rejected blind account creation — the exact
OKTA_IDENTITY_CLAIM format is still unconfirmed by security, and a
hand-typed username that doesn't match it produces an orphaned second
account instead of promoting the real one. Ongoing (non-bootstrap) admin
naming needs no new work: html/users.js's existing role dropdown already
handles it.
- Break glass: none, by design, matching the precedent already on record
for the abandoned LDAPS design (D13/D14) rather than assumed to carry
over untested. If Okta is unreachable, the app is unreachable for
everyone until Okta is restored. Rejected a toggleable emergency local
login — it would reintroduce the stored credential D15 exists to
eliminate.
Also corrects T10.4's scope in wave-10.md: hazard review found real call
sites of hash_password/verify_password/password_problem the original
bullet didn't name (create_user(), admin_reset_password(), users.js's
admin forms, browser_check.py/launcher_check.py fixtures), plus a
verification-gate ordering problem (smoketest.py and seed_demo.py
authenticate via POST /api/auth/login, which T10.4 removes, and both are
named explicitly in CLAUDE.md's verification section). Fixed by having
T10.4 switch both scripts to mint a session with auth.create_token()
directly, the same technique browser_check.py already uses, rather than
waiting on T10.7.
