Learning Objective

In this documentation, we will focus on integrating Adeptia Connect with Okta, a leading Identity Cloud platform known for its security and neutrality. We will explore how to configure Adeptia Connect to work with Okta as an IDP, as well as the process for adding additional IDPs if needed. By the end of this session, you'll be equipped to implement a robust SSO solution within your organization's Adeptia Connect environment, ensuring streamlined access while maintaining security.

Introduction

In today's digital landscape, ensuring secure and efficient user authentication across multiple platforms is critical. Single Sign-On (SSO) simplifies the user experience by allowing one set of credentials to access multiple applications. Adeptia Connect 4.x supports SSO through SAML, an XML-based protocol that allows the secure exchange of authentication data between an Identity Provider (IDP) and a Service Provider (SP).

Requirement 

To implement single sign-on in our Adeptia Connect by 4.x using SAML with multiple IDPs. Here we are integrating with Okta (Identity Cloud is an independent and neutral platform that securely connects.) and single sign-on by using SAML in Adeptia Connect.
