We’re thrilled to share the big news that Stormpath is joining forces with Okta. This transition marks an exciting evolution for our users, and we want to ensure you understand what this means moving forward. For detailed information, check out the Migration FAQs.

What Does This Mean for Developers Using the Library?

If you are a developer actively using the Stormpath library, here’s what to expect from the migration to Okta:

• The library will be patched to work smoothly with the Okta API, resulting in a major release, version 4.0. Our objective is to minimize the number of breaking changes during this transition.
• We will provide 4.x release candidates as we work on this migration. You can track all the changes in the 4.x changelog.
• We highly recommend running the Express-Stormpath Sample Project that has been updated to utilize the latest release candidate. This will help you ensure that your new Okta organization is set up correctly.
• After successfully running the sample project, try using the latest release candidate in your local development copy of the application. Walk through the 4.x changelog to check for any issues.
• You can install the latest release candidate by running this command:

bash
npm install --save express-stormpath@next

Understanding the Migration

Think of this migration as upgrading your vehicle. If you’re used to driving a sedan (the current Stormpath version), the transformation to an SUV (Okta integration) involves some adjustments like changing your driving style and perhaps getting a new GPS for navigation.

The goal is to ensure that your driving experience remains smooth and familiar, while enjoying the added benefits of a more powerful and versatile vehicle.

Troubleshooting Tips

While transitioning can be exciting, it might also come with some hurdles. Here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• If you run into issues during the installation or while setting up the sample project, ensure you are using the latest Node.js version compatible with your dependencies.
• Should you encounter errors related to API requests, double-check your Okta settings and ensure your credentials are accurate.
• Looking for community guidance can be invaluable; consider checking out forums or reaching out for support.
