Configure Federation with Okta
Configure Federation with Okta
- Create an Okta developer account at https://developer.okta.com.
- Have a G Suite account ready. If you do not have one, create one with a valid domain.
- Log in to OKTA Developer account and change it to the Classic UI.
- Click Applications.
- Click Add Application and search for G Suite. When it appears, click Add.
- Enter your G Suite domain in General Settings, then click Done at the bottom.
- Click Sign On, and then click View Setup Instructions. A page with the setup instructions will open.
- Go to the Setup document that you just opened and follow the Configuration steps for G suite. Go to your G Suite admin page and click Security.
- Follow the rest of the steps as stated in the document opened in Okta.
- Once done, add your users to be provisioned in Okta. Go to People.
- Click Add Person and enter the details. The email is the email of the user in the G Suite account.
- Go back to Applications and click on your G Suite application. Go to Assignment and assign the user you have created in the previous step to the G Suite application.
- Next, test the federation to make sure that you can login via Okta to G Suite. Copy the URL, https://dev-834381.okta .com (your URL will be different as the developer ID is different). Open that page and login with the user you have assigned to the G Suite application in OKTA. Setup the account after you have login.
- Once you have logged in, click on Gmail and make sure you can get redirected to Gmail. If it is successful, your federation works.
