Hello All, I am pretty new to Okta, and I am working on finding a way to login to the azure portal through okta. More like creating an application in Okta (say, Azure portal application) and users in the AD that can login to Okta can click on the app and SSO to Azure via the app. Any easy way with steps to get this done, either via AD or SAML or SWA. Need help please. Thank

Hi Samuel,
This is current supported as a SWA App: https://www.okta.com/integrations/azure-portal-login/
From the Admin Portal, go to Applications and select Applications. Click on Add Application, and type in Azure Login Portal.
From there, you can configure the Sign-On Options as well, like who defines the password and such.
Let me know if this helps!
Thanks!

Thank you for jumping on this Tim, I have actually seen the link https://www.okta.com/integrations/azure-portal-login/ before, but there is no step to go through to configure this. I was thinking there is a step that can be followed to configure this and integrate the okta with azure portal. Please share if there is any.
Hi @tim.lopez1.5480328098306519E12 (Okta, Inc.) , just checking if you have additional information on this. Thank you.
@0vox7 (0vox7) Just checking if you clicked on the "Expand Post" link in my last post. There were some steps there on how to configure. Let me know if this helps!
Hello @tim.lopez1.5480328098306519E12 (Okta, Inc.) , thank you for responding.
Yes I did, I have already done that earlier, but this seem like a bookmark app, and doesn't seem to satisfy the requirement.
There is a way to make okta as an IDP in the link below, but when I tried adding OpenID Connect IdP from the security tab. I could not find it. Only SAML IDP was found.
https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/add-an-external-idp/azure/create-an-app-at-idp/
I have configured Azure as an IDP following the steps in the link below and it worked when I tested it (i.e connect to okta from azure, here azure AD is the IDP), but the reverse is the requirement, (i.e connect to azure from okta, here okta is the IDP)

Any further help would be much appreciated.
Thanks for the reply! Okta supports this both ways, but Azure Portal does not. SWA is our workaround to their lack of support for delegated authentication. If you would like to see Azure support this, you would need to reach out to them and let them know.
Hope this helps!
