"Sign Up" Link Missing from Okta Login Page During SP-initiated Login
Sep 2, 2025
Okta Identity Engine
Administration
Overview
When a user attempts to log into a specific application (using a Service Provider (SP)-initiated login URL), the Okta login page does not show the "Don't have an account? Sign up" footer.
Applies To
- Okta Identity Engine (OIE)
- Profile Enrollment
Cause
Users who complete self-service registration are not assigned to the target application. This applies to all application types.
Solution
Ensure the following:
- The application the user is attempting to access is assigned to a Profile Enrollment policy with Self-service registration set to Allowed.
- The application is assigned to users completing self-service registration. This can be completed in one of three ways:
- Enable Federation Broker Mode on the application under General settings.
-
- Assign the application to the "Everyone" group (not recommended; if all users in the Okta tenant should be assigned to this application, Federation Broker Mode is recommended instead).
- Configure the Profile Enrollment policy to assign self-service registered users to a group assigned to the application (using the Add the user to group option, as shown below)
Result:
