Hello,
We have a situation where we use both Google Workspace and O365 as office solutions. The problem is that we have tried integrating O365 into Okta, but it turned out to be a complicated process. Our main complain that we cannot use the only one domain for admin access and SSO. We only have two domains: our microsoftonline and one for our Gogole Workspace and it is also used for our SaaS website (bitrise.io). When I try setting up SSO with a different domain (I only tested this in a test environment), it says
"Could not setup the domain federation with Office 365; please retry setting up the federation for this domain after a few hours." What exactly causes this?
The question is: Can we use that same domain without having complications? Can't we really use the default domain for admin authentication? That would cause a lot of problems.
Hello
Thanks for posting.
There's also a couple of things to be aware of:
When you add a domain to O365, using the O365 admin portal, it alters your default domain to the new domain. O365 will not alow you to federate the default domain.

Let us know if this helps you.

Thank you for the answer. I actually have figured it out, for some reason my logic of merging the two domains was wrong, that is why I wasn't able to do ti. But thanks for clarification. Have a nice day!
