Sign In Using Okta

We configured Okta with a GroupID client, that is the GroupID portal Wizard in our example. For single sign-on using Okta, we can choose any of the following ways:

  • SP-initiated single sign-on - when the SSO operation is initiated from the SP end, i.e., from the GroupID portal, Wizard.
  • IdP-initiated single sign-on - when the SSO operation is initiated from the IdP end, i.e., from Okta.

SP-Initiated Single Sign-On​

  1. Launch the GroupID portal Wizard.
    On the Login page, notice the Okta button. You can login using your GroupID credentials or click Okta to log in.
    The availability of the user name and password fields depends on whether you disabled GroupID Authentication or not (see step 9 in the Configure the Provider in GroupID topic).
  2. Click the button/image/link for Okta; the Okta Sign In page is displayed.
  3. Enter your credentials and click Sign In. You will be routed to the main page of the GroupID portal Wizard.
    Only users defined for our app in Okta can log in by entering their user names and passwords. See the Configure Users in Okta topic.

With single sign-on, you can now launch any GroupID client without having to sign in again.

IdP-Initiated Single Sign-On​

  1. Launch the Okta portal using the URL provided by your organization and sign in. The Okta dashboard displays the apps configured with Okta for single sign-on.
  2. On clicking an app, you will be redirected to it. Authentication will not be required.
