Will enabling 365 federation through Okta also affect authentication of desktop apps?

Here's the background:

We are a small 30-person company with all Mac computers. We utilize no server-driven login/SSO platform. All accounts are local to the computer. Our user accounts are also manually created on the Office 365 platform and in Okta. We currently activate our desktop-based Office 365 apps by using our Office 365 username/password.

 

Here's the question:

When I enable WS-Fedentation within Okta, will that additionally create some kind of cascade affect that will negatively impact our desktop-based 365 apps from being able to login since we don't have any kind of SSO software running on our local Mac computers?

 

Also, is there a way to utilize WS-Federation for how Okta interfaces with 365, but still allow people to login to 365 via portal.office.com?

    Hello Casey,

     

      Thank you for contacting Okta Support. Enabling WS-Federation should not have a negative impact on your desktop-based O365 apps. For more information regarding this type of setup we recommend checking the deployment guide for Office 365, found here (https://support.okta.com/help/Documentation/Knowledge_Article/Office365-Deployment-Guide). After enabling WS-Federation, all users will go through Okta for authentication. If you require further assistance on this matter, please open a support case.
