SECURITY  Access to manage Okta applications within your environment

This article explains how to use Okta as an authentication provider within Secure Edge.

Procedure

Configuring Okta

Before you can integrate Okta into your Secure Edge service, you'll need to configure OpenID Connect as an external Identity Provider for your application and create an OIDC app integration for it in Okta.

Follow the processes described in Okta's Enterprise Identity Provider and Create OIDC app integrations to do so. Then, proceed to the next section of this article.

IMPORTANT  We strongly recommend that you turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) through your identity provider. 2FA offers an additional layer of security that significantly reduces the chances of unauthorized access.
