- Once SAML is enabled, head to the SAML page. This is where you'll configure SSO.
- Enter an Organization slug. The slug is a URL-safe string representing your organization. It is shown as part of the URL during SAML logins. For service provider initiated SAML logins it is entered by the user, so it should be memorable. Think of it like a username for your organization.
- Copy the SAML ACS URL.
Okta
- In Okta, navigate to Applications and click Create App Integration.
- Select SAML 2.0 and click Next.
- Choose an App name, add an App logo (optional), and click Next.
- Paste the SAML ACS URL, that you copied earlier, in the two fields Single sign-on URL and Audience URI. Then click Next.
- On the next page, click Finish.
- Click View SAML setup instructions in the right sidebar.
- Scroll down to the IDP metadata field and copy all of the text in it.
Soundtrack
- Return to the SAML page in Soundtrack. Paste the copied IDP Metadata in the SAML XML field. Click Save.
