Okta SAML Integration

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an open standard for exchanging security information and providing single sign-on (SSO) between 2 parties: an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP).

This document walks you through setting up SAML-based authentication between DeltaStream (SP) and Okta (IdP).

Find the Okta documentation for configuring the SAML integration at https://help.okta.com/en-us/content/topics/apps/apps_app_integration_wizard_saml.htm
