How to integrate with ColdFusion
We are about to launch Okta for single sign on of all our our third party and in-house apps. We still have some key apps written in ColdFusion 8. Anyone have experience or pointers? Our current login, after authenticating the user, basically just sets some session variables to indicated logged in and hold some values about the user. I'm thinking that we can direct to an action page after login via the Okta Sign In Widget that would post to a ColdFusion page and set those session variables.
Hi, I'm wondering if there's any update to this and if you have any examples for integration with CF / Lucee? Quite familiar with REST API's so going that route would work as well but hoping for some official Okta documentation. Thanks!
CF 2021 has some nice SAML integration features using okta as an example here.
Also, the 2020 ColdFusion Summit had an excellent presentation given by Edwin Samuel Jonathan @eddyhacks from Adobe on CF and Okta, the recording of which will be available soon.
Thanks for the comment on here re: CF 2021 and built-in SAML integration, as well as the presentation. The CF 2021 SAML integration features are quite impressive and make it quite easy to utilize most of the SAML features.
FYI, if people are looking to just consume okta SAML and are not able to use CF2021 (e.g., Lucee), I wrote up an extensible library (and modified a demo app created by someone else) for this purpose. It is located at: https://github.com/psarin/cfml-sso-demo-app
