Okta Session Management and Repository Linking

[hcaballero2]

Description

---

Configure the Okta integration to manage secure, cached user sessions and implement a UI dropdown that links authenticated users directly to their associated GitHub repositories.

User Story

---

As a user within the OSS organization, I want my session to stay active for a reasonable amount of time so I don't have to log in constantly , and I want to easily select my active repositories from a dropdown menu.

Acceptance Criteria

---

• Okta session timeouts are established and documented (e.g., how long until it resets).
• User login state and basic info are securely cached on the frontend.
• A dropdown menu populates with the specific GitHub repositories the authenticated tech lead or developer is a part of.

Implementation Notes

---

• Need to research and document the exact connection flow between Okta and GitHub.
  • Will do this in a subissue; this issue will be updated with the documentation that you should refer to upon completion
• Collaborate with another team member to map the GitHub API response to the dropdown UI.
  • You need to meet via Zoom or in-person at least once, or be able to provide substantive evidence of your collaboration within Slack. You will be asked to summarize how you worked together/what method you used during the PR

Testing Notes

---

Test session expiration by forcing a timeout and ensuring the app redirects to the login screen.
Parent issue owner to audit code for security best practices regarding token caching.

Okta documentation. (to be made)

issue is cancelled as we will be using Github to log in which helps to circumvent the need to separate/find repos from Okta
