Configuring Okta Single Sign-On Integration with SAML

This document is for:
Invicti Enterprise On-Demand, Invicti Enterprise On-Premises

Okta is an identity and access management platform. Its single sign-on solution allows users to log into a variety of systems using one centralized process.

  • Using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), a user can use their managed account credentials to sign in to enterprise cloud applications via Single Sign-On (SSO). An Identity Provider (IdP) service provides administrators with a single place to manage all users and cloud applications. 
  • You don’t have to manage individual user IDs and passwords tied to individual cloud applications for each of your users. An IdP service provides your users with a unified sign-on across all their enterprise cloud applications. Invicti Enterprise supports the SAML methods of both IdP-initiated and SP-initiated.
  • You can also create a new user in Invicti Enterprise using the Enable Auto Provisioning option.

If you encounter any problem while setting up SSO integration, see Troubleshooting SSO Issues.

You have to use IdP-initiated SSO if you want to utilize Auto Provisioning.
If you will use SP-initiated SSO, please set the Name ID Format value to email address on the IdP side.

  11. On Invicti Enterprise’s Single Sign-On page, select one or all of the following options, if necessary:
    • Enable Auto Provisioning: If enabled, an account will be automatically created for IdP-registered users when they first access Invicti Enterprise. To do so, you must complete the FirstName, LastName, and Phone Number (optional) fields in the Attribute Statements on the IdP side. For further information about OnlySsoLogin, see Provisioning a member.
    • Require SAML assertions to be encrypted:If enabled, it prevents third parties from reading private data in transit from assertions. There are two options:
      • Generate a new certificate for me: Invicti generates a key pair. Invicti will keep a private key to decrypt received SAML messages and provide you with a certificate so that you can upload it on the IdP side. For further information about OnlySsoLogin, see Provisioning a member.
      • I have an existing certificate: You need to upload your certificate to Invicti by importing a decryption certificate from your files.
    • Use Alternate Login Email: If enabled, this lets users use alternative email for SSO. So, you can enter an alternative email on the New Member Invitation page and while editing the user’s details on the Team page.
