Prerequisites​

Configuration​

The configuration of identity federation with Okta allows integrating your Okta directory with the Cloud Temple console for centralized authentication.

Step 1: Okta Side Configuration​

  1. Log in to your Okta administration console
  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications
  3. Click on Create App Integration
  4. Select SAML 2.0 as the authentication method
  5. Configure the SAML settings for Cloud Temple

Step 2: Configuring SAML Settings​

Configure the following parameters in Okta:

  • Single sign on URL : Provided by the Cloud Temple team
  • Audience URI (SP Entity ID) : Provided by the Cloud Temple team
  • Attribute Statements : Configure the necessary user attributes

Step 3: Cloud Temple Configuration Request​

To configure federation with Okta, please create a support request in the Cloud Temple console specifying:

  • Your Organization's name
  • The name of a contact along with their email and phone number
  • The SAML metadata URL of your Okta application
  • The SAML signature certificate
  • The configured user attributes

Step 4: Test and Validation​

Once the configuration is complete:

  1. Test the authentication with a test user
  2. Check that user attributes are correctly mapped
  3. Validate access to Cloud Temple resources

Best Practices​
