SWA Authentication Details & Explanation
Hello,
We are currently in the process of implementing OKTA as our IDP in our School District. This said, we have a few question/s which we hope you can shed light on:
- What is SWA authentication to a service provider from OKTA and what is/are the step-by-step process for it?
- Given the set-up where Active Directory is the "source-of-truth" (authentication) for OKTA. For 3rd party service providers previously authenticating via LDAP from the same AD (prior to OKTA implementation) :
- Is it possible for OKTA to "pass-thru" user credentials to use for SWA since the service provider/s authenticate via the same AD/LDAP server anyway?
- Can OKTA act as an "alternate" LDAP source so 3rd party service providers can be pointed to OKTA instead of the on prem AD/LDAP server/s?
Thank you...any insight and/or clarification regarding these is most helpful.
