Configure SAML in Okta
This guide describes the steps required to create a working SAML integration between Okta and GoBright.
We recommend opening two browser windows side by side, because you’ll need to switch between the two.
Steps to configure Okta & GoBright SAML
In the Okta admin panel
Go to ‘Applications’ > ‘Applications’.
There click ‘Create App Integration’:
Choose ‘SAML 2.0’:
Enter the name, and do not display the app to users:
Hit ‘Next’ and fill in the ‘Configure SAML page’.
In the GoBright Portal
Create the SAML integration, and take the following values:
- Obtain the ‘Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)’
- Obtain the ‘Relying party identifier / Entity Id’
Back in the Okta admin panel
- Paste the obtained Reply URL into the ‘Single sign-on URL’ field
- Paste the obtained Relying party identifier’ into the Audience URI (SP Entity ID) field
The other fields in Okta should be configured as:
- ‘Default RelayState’: keep empty
- ‘Name ID format’: select ‘Unspecified’
- ‘Application username’: select ‘Okta username’
- ‘Update application username on’: select ‘Create and update’
In the list ‘Attribute Statements’, add:
| ATTRIBUTE STATEMENT | VALUE | REQUIRED |
|---|---|---|
| name | user.displayname OR user.firstName + ” ” + user.lastName |
yes |
| http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/mobilephone | user.mobilePhone | no |
| gobright.pincode | [your pincode field] | no |
| gobright.nfc | [your nfc field] | no |
| gobright.defaultcostcenteridorname |
[your default costcenter field] | no |
The result should look like this:
Now save the application.
The Sign On-tab will open automatically.
Scroll down on that Sign On-tab, and click View SAML setup instructions
Obtain the following details from Okta
- Obtain the Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL
- Obtain the X.509 Certificate
Final steps in the GoBright Portal
Apply the obtained values in the SAML integration in the GoBright Portal:
- Paste the ‘Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL in the ‘Single Sign-on service URL’ in the GoBright Portal
- Paste the ‘X.509 Certificate in the ‘Token-signing certificate (Base64)’ in the GoBright Portal
Optional: GoBright as ‘bookmark app’ in Okta
