r133h (r133h) asked a question.

Log into multiple apps simultaneously

Hi, our intranet features embedded content from multiple apps, all of which use okta SSO. Users must log into each app separately, and if they don't embedded content is not available to them. I'm looking for a way to authenticate users to multiple apps when they log into our intranet. Is that something that can be achieved?

Many thanks!

    Hi! Thanks for reaching out. So to be clear, you are stating that when they log into their Okta homepage, they have to click on separate tiles to view their apps? Is the request to have those apps open automatically? This can be done, but I wanted to validate that is the request.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Don!

    I wouldn't want users to automatically log into any app when they log into Okta as users might want to open different apps. What I'd like, is that when they click on the button to log into intranet (called Compass), users automatically log into two additional apps (Workplace and Box) to guarantee they have the best experience on our intranet and can view embedded content from those apps that require to be signed in to display.

    As it stands, users can (and somehow should) first log into Workplace and Box before logging into Compass from their Okta app dashboard, but no communication will be good enough to actually get all users to do so.

    Do you mean include serval application by iframe? And these application integrate Okta as SSO? It can only want one login with okta token, then other application without login, it just redirect to Okta then redirect back to application in OIE. these application should config correct MFA policy.

    Hi Hengfeng,

    Thanks so much for the reply.

    I understand from your reply that this might be possible, which is great. Your understanding in correct, Workplace and Box also use Okta as SSO, and the content is embedded via iframes in our intranet.

    I did not fully grasp how you would go about implementing the solution you suggest. If you can provide some more detail or maybe a reference to a support article that might cover what you suggest that would be amazing!

    Hi Vincent, Do you know the data flow of OIDC or SAML2.0? this the data flow of OIDC.

    Image is not available
    in this picture, the IDP is Google, so your idp is Okta. when we acces Workplace or Box, it will redirect to Okta as step2/3/4/5. after you login Okta, so the Okta session is created and redirect to Workplace or Box (Step 6) . after all step finish then the iframe embedded loading. because all application embedded also sso with Okta. because Okta is login, so no need to login in Okta. if you application authentication policy not need more authentication or MFA, it should not ask login. I think it work in OIE.

     

    So what you meet in Okta Classic?
