IAM Lab
Product Chosen: Okta Lab Task: Configure Single Sign-On (SSO) for a sample application.
Lab Question:
Set up Okta to enable SSO for a sample application, allowing a user to log in seamlessly using their Okta credentials.
Answer (Steps):
Sign up for a free Okta developer account at developer.okta.com.
Log into the Okta Admin Console with your credentials.
Add a new application:
Go to Applications > Applications and click Create App Integration.
Select SAML 2.0 (or OpenID Connect if preferred) and click Next.
App Name: "Sample App"
Click Next and configure basic SAML settings (e.g., Single Sign-On URL and Audience URI can use dummy values like http://localhost for testing).
Click Finish.
Assign the application:
Go to Applications > Sample App > Assignments.
Click Assign and select a user or group (e.g., yourself), then save.
Test the SSO:
Log out, then access the Okta dashboard as the assigned user.
Click the "Sample App" tile to verify SSO redirection.
Verification:
When you click the app tile, you should be redirected to the application (or a test page) without needing to re-enter credentials.
Setup Process:
Visit developer.okta.com and sign up for a free developer account.
After registration, follow the prompts to create your Okta organization.
No installation is required as it’s cloud-based; use the web console directly.
