KyleH.98518 (Customer) asked a question.
I am fairly new to SSO and SAML so bear with me here -
I have successfully setup Azure AD as an external IdP using a SAML connection - it's tested and working with JIT setup to create the users I have from azure in Okta w/ their groups etc. I also have successfully registered several test custom applications in Okta (though all of them use Okta as IdP)
However, now I'm stuck! My goal is to have the user go to my custom vue application such as:
While at "https://mycompanyapp.com" I want to initiate the sign-in flow, which should reach out to Okta and use the Azure AD external IdP to authenticate with SAML. Then either just sign the person in to Okta, or perform the JIT operations and create the user and then sign in.
Lastly, I want to redirect back to my custom web app (https://mycompanyapp.com) with the token information that I need....
So in short I do not understand how to initiate the sign-in flow from the custom app to use the external azure idp i have setup in okta --- and then I do not understand how to redirect back to the custom app after authentication is completed.
** note I do not want to use or have users ever redirected to the Okta Dashboard
Much appreciation for any assistance here!
Hi Kyle,
This is Helen from Okta support and I am happy to can help with this question.
You can make the users to land directly on the application after authenticating the users through the IdP and avoid the users to go to the Okta Dashboard by setting up a Relay State on Azure Active Directory following these instructions:
