Step 4: Add Users to SAML App

In order to test out SSO authentication, you will first need to assign your Okta SAML app to Groups.

Click on the "Assignments" tab of the app and then select "Assign to Groups".

Find the Group(s) that you would like to assign to the app and click "Assign" next to it. Click "Done" when you're finished.

Step 5: Upload Identity Provider Metadata

To implement SAML SSO you will need to share your identity provider's metadata with the application.

URL Metadata Configuration

  1. Click on the "Sign On" tab of the SAML app you just created.

  2. Locate the "Metadata URL" under the "Metadata details".

  3. Select "Copy" to copy the link, then paste it in the unique setup link shared with you earlier by Ten Thousand Coffees.
