Hi Support.
We are running a POC and only what to use Okta as an enabler to logon to external sites. We dont want anyone to logon to the okta site directly. As such we like to disable the option for user to logon to Okta site but keep account enable so users can logon to other sites like goto meeting and sharefile etc.
Can we do this and if so where is that setting?
Hy Mikael,
Yes it can be done you just need to set up the app with SWA then on the General tab you select Do not display the icon to users and the users will will log in using the Embed Link which you can have on your website .The users need to be assigned to the application in order to log in. The first time the user logs in it will be prompted by a window to enter his credentials but from that moment on he will get signed in to the app every time once they click on that link.
