Configure admin SSO with Okta

Configure admin SSO with Okta

StatusGator supports Single Sign-On (SSO) using SAML 2.0, which allows your users to log in using their Okta credentials.

Benefits

• Provide users with one-click access from their Okta dashboard.
• Centralize identity management using your existing Okta setup.

Set up Okta SSO

In Okta

1. Go to the Applications dashboard and click Create App Integration.

2. Select SAML 2.0, then click Next.

3. Name the application (for example, "StatusGator SSO") and optionally add a logo. Click Next.

4. In the SAML settings:
   • Single sign-on URL: https://statusgator.com/users/saml/auth
     • Check both Recipient URL and Destination URL.
   • Audience URI (SP Entity ID): https://statusgator.com
   • Name ID format: EmailAddress
   • Application username format: Email
   • Attribute statements: Map first_name, last_name, and email to their corresponding Okta user attributes.
   • Ensure the email attribute is included — StatusGator requires it for SSO.

5. Review your settings and click Finish.

6. Open the application’s metadata details and keep the page open — you’ll need this information for the next step.

In StatusGator

1. Log in as an admin and go to Team Management → Authentication Options.
2. Enable SSO and fill out the form using your Okta settings:
   • Identity Provider Entity ID – the Issuer URL from Okta
   • Sign On URL – Okta’s SSO URL
   • Sign Out URL – Okta’s logout URL
   • IDP Certificate – copy the base64 certificate from Okta's metadata file
   • The fingerprint and algorithm fields can typically remain empty.

3. Click Save to finalize setup.
4. Once configured, invite or assign users in Okta to the StatusGator app so they can log in through SSO.
