Setting Up SAML SSO in MyValidity with Okta

To enable single sign-on (SSO) in MyValidity, you will need to configure Okta to be your SAML identity provider (IdP) and connect it to MyValidity. This will allow your users to log directly into Validity products from Okta. 

During this process, you will: 

1. Configure your Okta SAML integration 

2. Turn on SSO in MyValidity 

Prerequisites 

You will need to engage an IT resource and a MyValidity administrator for this setup. Each person must have at least one of the following: 

• An Okta Developer account 

• Domain administrator privileges 

• Admin access in MyValidity 

Step 1: Configure your Okta SAML integration 

1. Sign into the Okta Developer Console. 

2. Use the App Integration Wizard to add an application for use with Auth0. 

3. Use the SAML App Wizard to create your SAML integration. On completion, you will be directed to the Sign On page for your newly created app.

4. Select View Setup Instructions to complete the process. 

   • ACS URL is the Single Sign on URL.
   • Use this for Recipient URL and Destination URL needs to be enabled. 

5.  Download a copy of the .xml file generated by the integration. You will need this file for the final integration with MyValidity. Learn how to download the .xml file.

Step 2: Set up MyValidity SAML connection 

1. Sign into MyValidity and select SAML Setup from the dropdown menu under your username and organization. 

2. Under Connection Name, enter a name for your SAML connection. This name cannot be changed, so be as specific as you need to be. 

3. Under Email Domain, enter the domain used to access Okta, such as mycompany.com. Do not include the @ sign. 

4. Under SAML Configuration File, choose the .xml file created in step 1. 

5. Under Field Mappings, the Name ID format should be Email Address. 

6. If you would like MyValidity users to be automatically created on a user’s first login attempt, select the Provision User checkbox. 

7. Select Submit. 

SAML SSO is now configured in MyValidity. Your organization can now use the Okta service to sign into your MyValidity account and your Validity applications.
