Tip
We recommend reading Configure SSO/SAML on Start.me first.
Okta is a cloud-based identity and access management provider. You can use Okta to configure Single Sign-On for your Start.me Enterprise.
Step 1: Add Okta as IdP to Start.me
In your Team admin panel, go to Authentication & SSO → SSO tab.
Click Add.
Select Okta in the list of IdP providers.
Click Add to start the configuration process (Step 2).
Step 2: Configure Start.me in Okta
Log in with your Okta Administrator account and click the "Create New App" button in your Applications section.
Select SAML 2.0.
Add "Start.me" as name for the SAML integration.
Configure Start.me with the following settings:
Single Sign On URL: https://[yourcustomdomain].start.me/users/auth/saml2/callback?id=[auth-id]
Audience URI (SP Entity ID): startme
Name ID format: EmailAddress
Application Username: Okta username
Attribute Statements:
name: user.login
email: user.email
After you have configured Start.me in Okta, click the "Identity Provider metadata" link to download an XML file. Save this file on your local machine.
Finally, make sure you assign People to this new "Start.me" application, so you will be able to test the flow once you have completed all 3 steps.
Step 3: Configure Okta in Start.me
In the SSO section on Start.me, click the three-dot menu next to the Okta IdP and select Change configuration.
In the sidebar click Browse to upload the metadata file you got from Okta in step 2.
After you have uploaded this file, the following fields should be automatically filled:
SAML2.0 Endpoint
IDP Entity
Public Certificate
Optionally, you can change the label and the icon for the login button that will appear on your sign-in screen at https://[yourcustomdomain].start.me/users/sign_in.
You are now done and ready to test the new Okta login flow!
Automatically enroll users in the right Enterprise teams
You can automatically assign users to the correct Enterprise teams based on their group memberships in Okta. See Automatically Assign Users to Enterprise Teams via SSO for setup instructions.
