This guide outlines the steps to integrate Okta with Vectice using SAML, focusing on configuring a secure Single Sign-On (SSO) connection.
If you are an Admin, go to Organization Setting by clicking your profile icon.
Click on the tab Authentication settings and click
On the SAML Form, enter a name for the connection.
Create a new SAML 2.0 App integration by selecting Create App Integration -> SAML 2.0 -> Next.
Set the app name, ‘Vectice’ for example -> check ‘Do not display application icon to users’ -> click Next.
Copy the Single sign-on URL and Audience URI (SP Entity ID) from Vectice's Redirect URI and Entity ID, and paste them into the SAML settings in Okta.
For Application username, choose ‘Email’. Click Next and Finish the creation of the Okta SAML Integration.
You will arrive in your SAML Integration Page, click on View SAML setup instructions.
Copy the Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL from this Okta page to use in Vectice.
In Vectice, go to Organization settings -> Authentication Method and update the 'Single Sign On Service URL' with Okta's value. Select Enabled and save.
Now, when users log in to Vectice, they will see an option to login with Okta SSO below the password field.
With SSO enabled, you have a few options:
You can disable password authentication if you want users to only login via SSO
You can enable the ability for users to automatically receive a Vectice account from their SSO provider (auto-provisioning)
You can set up the roles in Okta if they want more fine-tuning on this level.
Click on to generate your Redirect URI and the Entity ID that you’ll need in Okta.
To prepare the SAML integration, go to Okta Admin and select Applications -> Applications.
You have enabled Okta SSO authentication for Vectice!
