Using Okta for Single Sign On (SSO)

In this article:

• Setting up Okta for SSO with Uplifter
• Logging in with your Okta account

Setting up Okta

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a convenient and secure way to login to lots of different accounts using a single set of login details. This can save time and reduce the number of passwords you'll need to remember.

Uplifter integrates with Okta as a SSO provider to Uplifter.

The following process is required in order to allow your users to use Okta to sign in to Uplifter.  If you would like assistance during the process, please email support@uplifter.ai and we can arrange a remote meeting.

First, in Okta:

1. Add the "Uplifter" integration from the "Applications" tab.  You will need to search for "uplifter" in the "Browse App Catalogue" section.

2. Select the "Uplifter" application from the application dashboard and install it to your Okta tenant.

3. Copy the client ID and client secret from the "Uplifter" application in your application dashboard.

4. Click the "Sign on" tab

5. Copy the value for "Issuer" from the "Open ID connect Token" box

Then, login to uplifter.tech

1. In the left-hand navigation bar, click on "Settings"

2. In the Company tab, click on "Integrations"

3. Next to "okta" click the pink "Connect" button

4. In the modal, for each email domain you want to connect to Uplifter, add the client ID and client secret, and for "Tenant domain" add the value that you copied from "Issuer". 

Include a "Tenant name" to make it easier to associate the Okta connection with an Okta tenant.

5. When you have created the email domains, you will be presented with a login link. 

Users can now either log in through the login page of https://uplifter.tech/login or through that login link which leads directly to Uplifter through Okta. 

If you have multiple tenants, you will need to install the Uplifter integration within each tenant. We recommend in this case distributing the login link to users within those tenants for them to log in, rather than the default https://uplifter.tech/login page, so that you are sure they are signing into the correct tenant.

Logging in with an Okta account

Uplifter supports Okta as an identity provider for Uplifter.

During the registration process, click the "Register with Okta" button to start the process that will associate your Uplifter account with your Okta account.

On the login screen, click "Login with Okta" in order to log in with your Okta account.

If you want to associate your Okta account after you have created your account with a password, as long as your email address in Uplifter exactly matches your email address in Uplifter, you can use the "Login with Okta" button in the login screen to use SSO with Uplifter.
