Set up Signicat Dashboard login with Okta

You can set up single sign-on (SSO) for the Signicat Dashboard using Okta as your external identity provider. This setup allows you to manage user authentication centrally in Okta while giving your team secure access to Signicat services.

Production accounts only

The external identity provider feature is only available for production accounts in the Signicat Dashboard.

The Signicat Okta integration allows you to use Okta as your identity provider to centralise user management operations for your organisation in the Signicat Dashboard.

When you configure Okta as an external identity provider, your team can use their existing Okta credentials to log in securely to the Signicat Dashboard, without having to set up new user profiles.

Get started​

How to activate Okta as an external identity provider

To enable Okta as an external identity provider, you need to request access from an onboarding manager by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin the integration process, ensure you have the necessary permissions in Okta. You need an Okta user account with one of the following administrator roles:

  • Super Admin
  • Org Admin
  • Group Admin

To check your user permissions in Okta, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Okta Admin Console.
  2. Select Directory > People in the left menu.
  3. Select your user profile from the list.
  4. Select the Admin roles tab.

Confirm that you have one of the required roles before you proceed with the integration.

Create an Okta application​

Once you have the required permissions, you need to create a new OpenID Connect (OIDC) application in Okta to represent the Signicat Dashboard.

  1. Log in to your Okta Admin Console.
  2. Select Applications > Applications in the left sidebar menu.
  3. Select Create App Integration.
  4. Choose OIDC - OpenID Connect as your sign-in method, then select Next.
  5. Select Web Application as your application type, then select Next.
  6. Enter a clear name in the App integration name field (for example, Signicat Dashboard SSO).
  7. Under the Grant type section, select the Authorization Code checkbox.
  8. In the Sign-in redirect URIs field, enter the Signicat Dashboard callback URL. This is https://login.signicat.com/idps/okta/response.
  9. Under the Assignments section, select the Okta user groups that require access to the Signicat Dashboard.
  10. Select Save to create the application.
  11. Navigate to the General tab, copy the Client ID and Client Secret, and save them securely for the next phase.
Post-logout redirect URL

If your setup requires a post-logout Redirect URI, you can use https://dashboard.signicat.com/signout-callback-oidc.

Configure SSO in the Signicat Dashboard​

To configure SSO with Okta in the Signicat Dashboard, you need to contact your onboarding manager or the Signicat support team by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard.

When you submit your ticket, include the following authentication details from your newly created Okta application:

Log in with Okta SSO​

Once Signicat configures your integration, you can test the authentication flow to confirm that Okta successfully handles single sign-on.

  1. Open a new private or incognito browser window.
  2. Navigate to the Signicat IDP Selector page.
  3. Select Log in with Okta from the list of available external identity providers.

    External Identity Providers log in screen.

  4. Enter your work email address associated with your Okta domain.
  5. Select Log in.
  6. Enter your credentials in your Okta login portal when redirected.
  7. Confirm that Okta successfully authenticates you and redirects you back to the Signicat Dashboard.

Assign Okta groups to Signicat roles​

To enable automated provisioning, you need to configure role mapping between your Okta groups and specific roles in the Signicat Dashboard. Signicat uses this role mapping to assign the correct permissions to new team members automatically.

Role mapping across platforms ensures that your team members automatically receive the correct permissions when they log in to the Signicat Dashboard for the first time.

To learn about the roles and permissions for the Signicat Dashboard, visit the Managing roles and permissions documentation.

After you have identified the roles to assign to your team, Signicat Support can help you configure your role mapping. To do this, you need to create a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard.

Note

In your request, you must provide a list of the Okta groups that you want to map to Signicat roles.

User management with the SCIM REST API​

You can edit the roles, permissions and profiles of your existing users after they have already onboarded to the Signicat Dashboard. To modify the configuration of existing users, you need to use the Signicat IAM SCIM API.

This REST API allows you to manage user identity and access programmatically across your platforms by performing the following operations:

  • Get user profiles and attributes.
  • Update users and their attributes (such as modifying roles for existing, onboarded users).
  • Deactivate users.
  • Lock and unlock user access.

To learn more about managing your existing users programmatically, see the Signicat IAM SCIM API reference documentation.
