This guide walks you through setting up SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO) with Okta for DX.
By integrating DX with Okta, your users can log in using their existing Okta credentials. You’ll configure the DX application in Okta, link it using SAML, and enable SP-initiated login.
Setting up single sign-on
Step 1
Navigate to the SAML SSO Admin to obtain:
Single Sign-On URL (ACS URL)
Audience URI (SP Entity ID)
ℹ️ You only need to copy the last part of the ACS URL and Entity ID for the next step.
Step 2
Log in to your Okta Identity provider account.
Navigate to your Applications.
Search for the application named "DX"
Assign the users or groups that should be able to log in
Click Add Integration.
Step 3
In your identity provider, go to the application’s General tab.
Paste the ACS ID and Entity ID obtained in Step 1 (only the last parts, as noted).
Save or continue to the next step.
Step 4
Under the application’s name, click on Sign On.
Copy the Metadata URL.
Go back to the SAML SSO Admin in DX and paste the metadata URL.
Click Update to apply the changes.
ℹ️ You may choose to allow authentication only through Okta, or continue to support other forms of password-less authentication and SSO.
Step 5
You can initiate login directly via SP Initiated flow:
https://app.getdx.com/saml/sp/<entity_id>
Replace <entity_id> with the actual ID used during setup.
