Step 4: Configure users
Xakia offers two approaches for configuring users to login with SSO via Okta.
- Provision and manage users directly from Okta using SCIM provisioning (Recommended)
- Manually configuring users to login via Okta
Provision users from Okta
To provision Xakia users directly from Okta follow the SCIM configuration guide here. Only Xakia main application users need to be added - please do not add Internal client users. Internal client users will be automatically provisioned by accessing the Internal Client Portal directly.
Manually Configure Users
- In Xakia go to Admin --> Settings --> Security --> Federated Identity
- Toggle on ‘Enable User Provisioning from Xakia’
- Go to the Users tab and add/edit a user
- Set Okta as their Identity Provider
