Configuring Okta Single Sign-On Integration with SAML

Using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), a user can use their managed account credentials to sign in to enterprise cloud applications via Single Sign-On (SSO). An Identity Provider (IdP) service provides administrators with a single place to manage all users and cloud applications. You don’t have to manage individual user IDs and passwords tied to individual cloud applications for each of your users. An IdP service provides your users with a unified sign-on across all their enterprise cloud applications.

How to Configure Okta Single Sign-On Integration with SAML
  1. Log in to your Okta account and navigate to the Admin dashboard.

The Dashboard is displayed.

  1. From the Shortcuts menu, click Add Applications. The Add Application window is displayed.

  1. Click Create New App. The Create a New Application Integration dialog is displayed.

  1. In the Sign on method field, select SAML 2.0 and click Create. The Create SAML Integration window is displayed and opens at the General Settings tab.

  1. In the App name field, enter a name, and click Next. The Configure SAML tab is displayed.

  1. Log in to Netsparker Cloud, and from the main menu, click Settings, then Single Sign-On. The Single Sign-On window is displayed:
