Introduction
By setting up OKTA as a SAML Identity Provider (IDP), organizations can enable secure Single Sign-On (SSO) across multiple applications, allowing users to authenticate with Keycloak OKTA and gain access to various Service Providers (SPs) using the SAML 2.0 protocol. This playbook document outlines the steps to configure OKTA as a SAML IDP, including the initial setup, SAML-specific configuration, and integration with service providers, with the goal of establishing a reliable and secure authentication process that meets organizational security requirements.
