SSO with Okta – Setup Guide

Properly configured single sign-on (SSO) can be a vital element of your cyber and network security toolset. You can reduce your company's attack surfaces by slashing the services your team has to log in to and the number of credentials they handle.

Set up SSO in SEON to make your fraud-fighting experience seamless and secure.

Okta is one of the world's largest and most trusted identity platforms that over 16.000 business use to improve cybersecurity. As SEON supports SAML authentication integrations setting up SSO with Okta is a breeze.

You'll need admin access to both your Okta Dashboard and your SEON account before you start. Visit the Settings page in SEON and double-check that you can access the SSO settings on the Authentication tab before continuing.

Tip: You'll find all the details you need to set up SSO using Okta in this guide. If you feel you need more information head over to the Integration SSO page.

2. Open the Authentication tab.

3. Click the toggle next to Turn on SSO Login.
