Hi Richard,
Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community.
If you can confirm with Azure that they support SAML SSO and they can provide the configuration metadata, you should be able to configure a Custom SAML application using the Okta Application Integration Wizard. A guide can be found here:
• https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Apps/Apps_App_Integration_Wizard.htm
In the meantime, I recommend using the “Azure Portal Login” SWA application listed in the Okta Integration Network.
Regards,

To my knowledge Azure portal does not support SAML. Our security team has not allowed SWA since it sends plain text passwords over TLS rather than the more secure client side encryption employed by password managers such as 1password. So we are left with no options for Azure portal within Okta.
Since Microsoft has their own SSO offering that is SAML compatible I view this as Microsoft just not playing nicely with others in order to force customers onto their own platform. You can however use sign in with github as an option for Azure so I think I'll steer our organization towards Okta as an IDP for github and github to act as an IDP for Azure. It's an extra hop but it should work.

Thanks Chad, Good find, I'll give that a try. Did it work well for your organization?
Also looks like Azure supports Open ID Connect as a IdP so perhaps could configure that in Okta with a little more work. https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/oidc/

HI @cneal1.537467053597015E12 (Customer) , anything on this?
Unfortunately, no, in my case, the domain I was attempting to federate with was already in Azure, making SAML federation with Okta unnecessary. No dev time, so I've had to move on. Seems doable, however, if the domain behind Okta didn't already have an Azure presence and you're willing to put in the time to match fields. Okta > Azure is unsurprisingly easy. The other way... ehh....
