Overview

Attribute Statements - Custom attribute statements may be defined when creating a new Secure Assertion Markup Language (SAML) integration or modifying an existing one. These statements are inserted into the SAML assertions shared with the application.

Applies To
  • Secure Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
  • Application Integration Wizard (AIW)
  • AIW Custom SAML Application
  • Single Sign-On (SSO)
Solution

To define and configure a custom SAML attribute for a SAML app integration, watch the video or follow the steps below:

 

  1. Log in to the Okta Admin Dashboard. On the left panel, go to Directory > Profile Editor.
  2. Identify the Variable Name of the user attribute required to add by looking at the User (default) profile.
  3. In this example, the Okta Profile attribute title will be used. Note the Variable Name of the attribute. This will be referenced later. The user will have the Okta Support Engineer title already defined in their Okta User Profile:
