SSO For Okta

If you use Okta within your organisation, setting up single sign-on will allow users to access Clearooms without needing to invite them and for them to remember additional passwords.

This short guide will walk you through how to configure Okta and Clearooms for Single sign-on

 

OKTA

 

When you turn SSO on in the portal this will become the only way to login, should the set up be incorrect or you need to turn it off for any reason user the url: https://portal.clearooms.com/login?sso=0 to login using your username and password

Get your Clearooms SSO Settings

To set up single sign-on, you will need to let Okta know your unique Clearooms Service Provider Entity Id and Assertion Consumer Service URL.

To get this, in Clearooms head to Settings > Single Sign-On, select Okta as your Identity Provider (iDP) and toggle the Enable SAML Based Single Sign-On switch. This won't turn it on immediately for users at this stage but it will show you the required information you will need.
