Okta SSO Integration

Steps to setup Okta Single Sign On (SSO) integration for your Squadcast account.

Squadcast supports SAML 2.0-based Okta Single Sign-On (SSO) login and you can set it for your organisation by following this integration guide.

Pre-requisites

  1. Valid Okta SSO account & subscription

  2. Account Owner / Administrator account in Squadcast

Points to Note:

1. Only an Administrator / Account owner can enable and configure Okta SSO for an organisation in Squadcast. 2. Once enabled, only the Account owner can use email-password-based login by default although it can be configured to enable email-based login for Administrators as well.

Note for Mobile App Users:

Check out this documentation to log in to your Squadcast Mobile application.

Setting up Okta SSO

  1. Login to app.squadcast.com and navigate to the Settings > Extensions. Click the Configure button under SSO.

2. In the opened modal, select the Okta tab and click Show configuration guide for Okta.

3. Copy the ID highlighted in the instructions.

4. Move to your Okta Dashboard and navigate to Applications

5. Search for the Squadcast application and click Add to add it to your Okta account.

6. Under the Sign-On tab, navigate to the Advanced Sign-On Settings and paste the Customer ID that was copied in Step 3 in the Customer ID field.

7. Now click on View Setup Instructions to view the SAML 2.0 Endpoint and X.509 Certificate.

8. Paste the SAML 2.0 Endpoint and X.509 Certificates in the respective fields in Squadcast

Note:

Make sure to add the Domain Name of your Organization, for SSO login to work

9. In Squadcast, enable the toggle above within the modal and click on Save to enable Okta SSO for your Squadcast Account.

Note

You can turn On / Off Okta SSO by toggling the button at the top. Configure other options like the default User role and click Save.

Important

Members trying to log into Squadcast through SSO who aren't already added to the Squadcast platform will be added to the platform by default as Users.

10. The Okta-Squadcast integration also supports user provisioning. To enable that, you can navigate to the Assignments tab, and assign this to people or groups (based on your requirement) to enable access to Squadcast.

In this example, we have chosen Assign to People and added a user as shown below.

11. By default, the SSO provider will send Firstname, Lastname and Email ID to Squadcast. If you can send an optional custom key called role with one of these values Admin, User and Stakeholder, the user will be created with these roles instead of the default user role configured in the SSO modal in Squadcast.

Your Okta SSO Integration is good to go and anyone in your organisation can now use Okta SSO to login into Squadcast.

Logging into Squadcast via Okta

  1. You can log in to Squadcast by navigating to My Apps in your Okta Dashboard.

2. Find Squadcast in this list of saved applications and just click on the Squadcast card and you will be automatically directed to your Squadcast account.
