Pull request overview
This PR adds troubleshooting documentation for Okta SSO integration across three OpenMetadata versions (v1.9.x, v1.10.x, and v1.11.x-SNAPSHOT). The documentation addresses a common issue where users experience a spinning wheel timeout when configuring Okta authentication, caused by incorrect or excessive callback URL configurations.
Key Changes
- New troubleshooting guide explaining how to resolve spinning wheel timeout errors with Okta SSO
- Guidance on ensuring callback URLs are reachable and properly configured
- Code examples showing the correct redirect URI configuration

| 1. Ensure your callback URLs are pointing to OpenMetadata that Okta can reach. [Our guide](/deployment/security/okta/auth-code-flow) uses `localhost:8585` if you are not hosting OpenMetadata locally, you will need to update your sign-in redirect URIs, and possibly your sign-out redict URIs and base URIs if you have set those. |

Missing period at the end of the sentence. Also, there's a missing comma after "localhost:8585" for clarity.

Typo: "redict" should be "redirect".
