The following steps describe how to configure SAML SSO in Okta.

Configure SSO in Okta

Complete the following steps in Okta to configure single sign-on for iManage users:

  1. Create a new SAML application by browsing to Admin > Add Applications > Create App Integration.

    NOTE: If switching from OpenID Connect (OIDC) SSO to SAML SSO in iManage Control Center, we recommend that you create a new application in Okta. Creating a new application allows you to preserve your existing SSO application and roll back to it if necessary.
