Overview

This article details how to differentiate an App added from the OIN Catalog from a Custom Created App.

Applies To
  • Okta Integration Network (OIN)
  • OIN App Catalog
  • Okta Administrator
Solution

This would typically involve two steps. For example, there is an active application called "Zoho SAML":.

  1. To confirm whether this is a custom app or an OIN app, the first step is to search for the app name in the app catalog. 
    1. Navigate to https://www.okta.com/integrations/ and search the full app catalog directly from the Okta website. 
    2. Use the search box, type in the name of the app, and verify whether any matching app results are returned (for example, Zoho SAML).

Searching for matching apps

    1. From this example, we found an OIN app with the matching app name: https://www.okta.com/integrations/zoho-saml/ 
  1. If the app from the OIN app catalog was found, that means there was an OIN app available to add, but that does not mean the active app instance is indeed an OIN app. To further confirm, check the active app's app URL found in the Okta org instance. 
    1. To obtain the active app URL, add the app instance from the application found under Okta Admin Console > Applications > Application and select the Zoho app instance. 
    2. For example, a test ZohoSAML app was added from the app catalog. The app instance URL appears below: 
      1. ZohoSAML > https://{yourOktaOrgSubdomain}-admin.okta.com/admin/app/zohosaml/instance/{unique app instance id}#tab-assignments 
      2. If this is compared with the other ZohoSAML app instance found in the Okta org, and they have the same app URL, then that will help confirm that the existing app instance was an OIN app created from the app catalog. 
      3. Another indicator of a custom app instance created via Application Integration Wizard (AIW). Notice that even if it has the app has the same app label name, the app URL will be different. See the example below, a custom SAML app instance with the same app label, ZohoSAML, but the app URL will be different.
 https://{yourOktaOrgSubdomain}-admin.okta.com/admin/app/{yoursubdomain}_zohosaml/instance/{unique app instance id}#tab-signon
