SSO Configurations: SAML

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. Using SAML you can enable Single Sign Ons for the following portals:

 Okta

If Okta SSO configuration is done for the End Users, the End Users can access the SummitAI application in any of the following ways:

  • From Okta URL: Log into the Okta URL, click the SummitAI icon and access the SummitAI application using the Okta credentials.


    Figure: Accessing the SummitAI application from OKTA URL



    Figure: Logging into SummitAI application

  • From SummitAI  URL: Specify the SummitAI  URL in the address bar. On the SummitAI login page, click the Okta icon. You are redirected to the Okta URL. Provide the Okta credentials to log into the SummitAI application.

    • Note:

      If only Okta is configured, on accessing the SummitAI URL, you are automatically redirected to the Okta URL and on providing Okta credentials, you are logged into the SummitAI application.
