Solution Summary

This guide describes Okta integration with RSA ID Plus using SAML 2.0. Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.

  

Use Case

Okta can be integrated with RSA using My Page SSO and Relying Party. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to Okta.

  

Integration Types

My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to Okta users leveraging RSA self-service portal My Page. Both SP-initiated SSO and IdP-initiated SSO are supported.
Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with the IDR. 

 

Relying Party integration allows Okta users’ web browsers to be automatically redirected to RSA Cloud Authentication Service for authentication. With Relying Party integration, Cloud Authentication Service can manage only additional authentication or both primary authentication (for example, user ID and password) and additional authentication. 

      

Supported Features 

This section shows all the supported features by integration type and by RSA components. Use this information to determine which integration type and RSA component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA with Okta using each integration type.

Configuration Summary

This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate Okta with RSA using all of the integration types.
This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations. It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product documentation for all products to install the required components.
All RSA and Okta components must be installed and working prior to the integration.
This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
