This document outlines the steps required to set up Okta SSO with StepSecurity.
StepSecurity uses AWS Cognito as the service provider for the SSO experience. Please note that StepSecurity-based SSO allows login only when initiated by the service provider.
Log in to the Okta Admin Console
Navigate to Applications > Applications from the left sidebar.
Click on Create App Integration on the Applications page.
Select SAML 2.0 as the Sign-in method, then click Next.
On the General Settings page:
Enter the App name as StepSecurity.
Optionally, add the StepSecurity logo:
Click Next to continue.
Provide the following values:
Single sign-on URL:
https://login.app.stepsecurity.io/saml2/idpresponse
SP Entity ID:
urn:amazon:cognito:sp:us-west-2_PGbAJDNzx
Under Attribute Statements, add the following field:
email → user.email
Scroll down keeping the default values, then click Next.
Optionally, provide feedback. Then click Finish.
After finishing, you will see a screen displaying the Metadata URL.
Copy the Metadata URL and share it securely with the StepSecurity team.
Under the Assignments tab, add users who should have access to this application.
Once StepSecurity confirms the SSO setup is complete:
Users can go to the StepSecurity login page.
Enter their email address under the Sign in with your corporate ID section.
They will then be redirected to authenticate via Okta SSO.
