Okta (SAML)
Review SAML (SaaS) before you begin.
Configure Sysdig Monitor and/or Sysdig Secure as a SAML application using Okta's documentation for Setting Up a SAML Application in Okta. The notes below call out specific steps that require additional action.
Sysdig-Specific Steps for Okta Configuration
Okta Step 6
At step #6, if you don't intend to configure IDP-initiated login flow, check the boxes for "Do not display application icon to users" and "Do not display application icon in the Okta Mobile app".
Okta Step 7
At step #7, enter the values shown in the table below. If you wish to configure IDP-initiated login flow, replace CUSTOMER-ID-NUMBER with the number retrieved as described in Find Your Customer Number.
Setting | Value for Sysdig Monitor | Value for Sysdig Secure |
|---|---|---|
Single sign on URL | ||
Audience URI (SP Entity ID) | ||
Default RelayState (optional - only configure if you intend to use IDP-initiated login flow) | #/&customer= | #/&customer= |
Okta Step 8
At step #8, instead of those shown in the Okta example, add the values:
Name | Value |
|---|---|
| |
| |
| |
Note that the attributes are case sensitive , so use caution when entering them.
Only email is required. However, including first/last name is recommended, since these values will now be included in the records created in the Sysdig platform's database when new users successfully login via SAML for the first time.
Okta Step 10
At step #10, copy the URL and paste in the Metadata entry on the SAML Configuration page in the SAML connection settings.
Test Metadata (Optional)
To ensure the metadata URL you copy at the end of the IDP configuration procedure is correct, you can test it by directly accessing it via your browser.
When accessing the URL, your browser should immediately download an XML file that begins similarly to the example shown below. No entry of credentials or other security measures should be required to successfully download it. If this is not the case, revisit the IDP configuration steps.
