Administrators can pull a list of all active applications using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 authentication by querying the Okta API. The solution involves using Postman to send a request to the Okta API and filtering the response by the active status and SAML 2.0 sign-on mode.

• Okta Classic Engine
• Application Programming Interface (API)
• Okta API

• Postman

How does the Okta API list active SAML 2.0 applications?

Retrieve a list of active SAML 2.0 applications by configuring Postman with the required OAuth 2.0 scopes and executing a filtered API request as detailed in either the video demonstration or the written instructions.

1. Integrate Postman with Okta.
2. Include the okta.apps.read OAuth 2.0 scope in the request.
3. Select the Apps (Okta API) / List ACTIVE Apps API command in Postman.
4. Enter the following API call to list all active applications in the Okta org:

   {{url}}/api/v1/apps?filter=status eq "ACTIVE"

5. Select Send.
6. Review the response parameters for a 200 OK status.

NOTE: Ensure the request API calls include the required scope.
 

7. Locate the signOnMode attribute in the response data to identify SAML 2.0 applications, which display a value of SAML_2_0.
