How do I send users directly to a Sharepoint Online site with Okta?
If you are looking for a way to send users directly to a Sharepoint Online site collection or web page when federated with Okta, then you may need to know about Office 365 Smart Links. In this example, we will show how to federate with Okta and push users to a specified location within your SharePoint online instance.
- Obtain the value of the PassiveLogOnUri. (This can be easily found in the PowerShell Script on theView Setup Instructions page.)
- Example: https://[[Org]].oktapreview.com/app/office365/k2y5gkdjXLYDHRTPRSZX/sso/wsfed/passive
- Append the following parameter string value to the PassiveLogOnUri.
- ?wa=signin1.0&wtrealm=urn:federation:MicrosoftOnline&wctx=wa%3Dwsignin1.0%26wreply%3D
- To continue with our example, the new URL should now be:
- https://[[Org]].oktapreview.com/app/office365/k2y5gkdjXLYDHRTPRSZX/sso/wsfed/passive?wa=signin1.0&wtrealm=urn:federation:MicrosoftOnline&wctx=wa%3Dwsignin1.0%26wreply%3D
- Next, we add a double encode URL. This value will be equal to the SharePoint default site and a ReturnUrl parameter that will target the desired landing page.
- For example, if your desired result is for end users to land on the Accounting home page located at https://[[TENANT]].sharepoint.com/sites/Accounting/Home.aspx. Then you would double encode the following URL:
- https://[[TENANT]].sharepoint.com/_forms/default.aspx?ReturnUrl=/sites/Accounting/Home.aspx
- The double encoded value would look like:
- https%253A%252F%252F[[TENANT]].sharepoint.com%252F_forms%252Fdefault.aspx%253FReturnUrl%253D%252Fsites%252FAccounting%252FHome.aspx
- https://[[Org]].oktapreview.com/app/office365/k2y5gkdjXLYDHRTPRSZX/sso/wsfed/passive?wa=signin1.0&wtrealm=urn:federation:MicrosoftOnline&wctx=wa%3Dwsignin1.0%26wreply%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252F[[TENANT]].sharepoint.com%252F_forms%252Fdefault.aspx%253FReturnUrl%253D%252Fsites%252FAccounting%252FHome.aspx
What is the context for this type of link?
Specifically, can this be used somehow with an Okta chiclet? If so, how would the application be created in Okta?
