I am using okta java api to authenticate user credentials. AuthApiClient.authenticate(username, password, someRelayState) method is throwing com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException:

Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null'). See bellow part of my java code code and error stacktrace:

JAVA CODE:

    //Client configuration
    ApiClientConfiguration oktaSettings = new ApiClientConfiguration(baseUrl, apiToken);

    //authenticate and validate user credentials
    AuthApiClient authClient = new AuthApiClient(oktaSettings);

    // Check if the user credentials are valid
    AuthResult result;
    try {
        result = authClient.authenticate(username, password, someRelayState);
        // The result has a getStatus method which is a string of status of the request.
        // Example - SUCCESS for successful authentication
        String status = result.getStatus();
        System.out.println(status);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

  • Could you provide an example of the values being passed when this error occurs... – Cindy Meister Dec 09 '15 at 18:51
  • I was having the issue with wrong 'baseUrl'. Once, I figured that I deleted the post. However, to answer Cindy, I had to undelete it because it was not allowing me to reply back. Following are the values when I got the above error: \n – A. Deo Dec 11 '15 at 16:09
