Logging in with Okta

Nullplatform enables users to sign in through third-party federation, using external Identity Providers (IdPs) like Okta. To add Okta as an external IdP and allow your users to log in to nullplatform with their Okta accounts, follow these steps:

1. Create App Integration on Okta:

   • Begin by adding an app integration in your Okta account.
   • Configure this app according to the setup instructions provided.

2. Before You Start, Contact Us:

   • Reach out to our support team to obtain the necessary information for configuration. You'll need the following details:
     • Single sign-on URL: This URL is used to redirect users to Okta for authentication. It's a crucial part of the Single Sign-On (SSO) process.
     • Audience URI (SP Entity ID): The Audience URI, also known as the Service Provider (SP) Entity ID, uniquely identifies your service within the SAML exchange. It ensures secure and trusted communication between Okta and your application.

By following these steps and obtaining the required information, you'll enable seamless Okta-based login for your users on nullplatform.
