Hello @AnilM.52593 (Customer) Thank you for reaching out to our community.
I would assume you are looking to setup Integrated Windows Authentication with Okta, for this please take a look at this article that would help you with the integration:
https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Directory/Configuring_Desktop_SSO.htm
Or if you are looking to RDP authentication please take a look at this:

Both link is not working . Still I have doubt about SSO type implementation, The type of our back office application is , Smart Client Desktop Application made in C# and WCF, and it is accessible to only those employee who already have in our system. Is it possible to provide the contact no. for discussion in details?
Did you ever get an answer on this? I am also struggling to get the Okta web portal to open my desktop application, or to Authenticate with it. We even tried creating a web application that just launches the desktop application but still doesnt work
Yes, no answer from their side, There is no way to come back to desktop application after opening OKTA login window to your desktop application. Actually you need to capture the OKTA response when the user enter the password and have successful login with okta.so the OKTA must redirect to your specified url where you captured the response and read the saml and get the user properties.Create a web api that stored the ookta respone while login and then your desktop application will read this info and authenticate the okta user to your system.
