This article provides a step-by-step guide for creating an SWA app integration on a website that is not in the Okta Identity Engine(OIE) catalog.
Applies To

Solution
- After successfully logging into the Okta Admin Dashboard, we would need to navigate to Applications > Applications and click on the Create app integration button.
- Select SWA - Secure Web Authentication and click on Next.
- Entry of a desired name and the login URL of the website for implementation in the tenant is required, along with an optional logo.
- After successfully creating the SWA application, it needs to be assigned to the users using the Assignment tab.
- Once all steps are complete, the implemented application will appear in the Okta Dashboard. A click on the application will initiate a prompt for the desired login username and password to be auto-filled on the website.
NOTE: Keep in mind that not all websites may work with SWA app integrations due to limitations.
