Configure Okta for Single Sign On

Stax integrates with your corporate identity using SAML. This allows you to bring your own identities and identity management controls to the Stax platform. Stax supports Okta's identity solution. It supports integration with applications as a SAML identity provider (IdP) and is available for use by organizations with an Okta environment.

Configure Stax to allow SAML Sign In

When you're ready to have Stax configured, you will need to raise a support case with your SAML metadata file and theACS URL of your SAML IdP. Once SAML is configured for your Stax tenancy, the support team will be in touch to let you know that it's ready to be tested.

How do you know this worked?

note

At this time, Stax does not support IdP-initiated sign-ins. You must use SP-initiated sign-in to access Stax.

Next time you navigate to your Stax Console login page, on the top, you'll see a new Continue with Corporate ID button. Clicking this button will take you to your SAML sign-in page. Log in to the IdP and you'll be signed into your Stax tenancy.
