tdl7x (tdl7x) asked a question.

Why We are Importing Certificates from IDP but not from Application(SP) to Okta

While Integration Applications with Okta. We are transferring certificates from Okta to Application. But not from Application to Okta. Can I know technical reason?

  • Hi @tdl7x (tdl7x)​ , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community! 

     

    The authentication flow is one-way. Okta does not require the service provide (SP) certificate to complete an authentication.  

    An SP certificate would be require as well if for example you would leverage something like Single Log-out and not all app support this.

    Hope my answer helps!
