Using Striim Platform with Okta

You can configure Striim Platform to allow users in your organization to log in using Okta single sign-on (SSO). This requires you to create a SAML application in Okta, assign that application to your users, and configure Striim Platform to trust Okta as an identity provider (IdP). For more information, see SAML app integrations.

Create a SAML application in Okta for Striim

  1. Log in to your Okta account as an Admin user. Okta may ask you to log in again.

  2. Click the Admin button on the top right corner.

  3. In the left panel, select Applications > Applications, then click Create App Integration.

  7. Check the box Use this for Recipient URL and Destination URL.

  8. Enter the following for Audience URI (SP Entity ID): <your-striim-account-url>
