Okta (SAML 2.0)

 

SSO integration using SAML requires FlexDeploy to be running using HTTPS

You must also download the Okta Certificate (from within the Okta Edit SAML Settings).

Download the SHA-2 certificate.

 

and import it into the keystore which was created as part of the HTTPS configuration (adjust parameters below as appropriate).

/u01/java/jdk1.8.0_281/bin/keytool -import -alias okta -file /var/tmp/okta.cert -keystore /home/oracle/flexdeploy.keystore

 

You will need to define an application in your Okta console.

Replace capitalized text with appropriate values. Update values in the configuration file as shown below.

  • FLEXDEPLOY_HOME - Directory on the server where FlexDeploy is installed

  • KEYSTORE_PASSWORD - The Java key store password.

  • PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD -The private key password.

  • OKTA_METADATA_URL - The URL (from Okta) to the identity provider metadata (e.g. https://dev-484624.okta.com/app/exk4c1ilhiTs3dKRb4y5/sso/saml/metadata).

  • FLEXDEPLOY_HOST - FlexDeploy application host

  • FLEXDEPLOY_PORT - FlexDeploy application port

  • AUDIENCE_RESTRICTION - The Audience Restriction or Audience URI (SP Entity ID) found in the Okta UI.

  • PATH_TO_YOUR_KEYSTORE_FILE - The path to the keystore, including the file name and extension.

Configuration Tips

If the Java keystore referenced (line 2) does not exist, it will automatically be created, and key will be generated and inserted into the keystore using the passwords provided (line 3 and 4).

The Okta Identity Provider Metadata can be found from within the Sign On tab of your Okta application.
