To configure your Okta to use SSO with Snyk, you need an entity ID and a reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) from Snyk. 1. From the drop-down at the top left select **GROUP OVERVIEW** and then the cog wheel (top right corner) to get to your group settings.

2. Click on **SSO** and copy the values under **Entity ID** and **ACS URL** or leave the browser tab open for easy access.

3. Navigate to [Okta](https://www.okta.com/se/login/), open the application menu, and click on **Create App Integration.**

4. Choose **SAML 2.0** and name your application appropriately; click **Next**.

5. Add the Entity ID and the sign on URL you copied from Snyk to the appropriate fields.

6. Scroll down to **Attribute Statements** and add three attributes named with values as follows: * **Name**: email, **Value**: user.email * **Name**: name, **Value**: user.firstName + " " + user.lastName * **Name**: username, **Value**: user.login Click **Next** and enter feedback details if desired or go to the next step. 7. Open your Okta application list again and click on your newly created application and the **Sign on** tab. To the right of the page, click on **View SAML setup instructions** then from the page that opens, copy the **Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL** and the **X.509 certificate**. 8. Go back to the previous page and go to the **Assignments** tab. Click on **Assign** and choose users, groups, or both according to your needs.

9. Go back to the Snyk portal, scroll to step 2, and enter the details from step 7, including the domain(s) you wish to use over the SSO connection, verify if an IdP-initiated workflow should be enabled, and then click **Create Auth0 connection.**

10. Scroll to step 3 and determine how new users should be treated when signing in. Choose the option you would like to use: **Group member, Org collaborator** or **Org admin**. Finally, enter the profile attributes as you configured them in Okta, click **Save changes** and verify you can log in, either with the direct URL at the top of step 3 or by going to the [generic SSO login](https://app.snyk.io/login/sso).

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/user-management/single-sign-on-sso-for-authentication-to-snyk/configure-self-serve-single-sign-on-sso/okta-saml-application-setup.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
