How To Set Up Okta SSO

 

Attention
Setting up SSO and Directory Sync requires two consecutive steps:

Step 1: Connect your OKTA directory with Wizer

Step 2: Configuring the SCIM Automatic user provisioning

 



Step 1: Connect your OKTA directory with Wizer


1. Create a New App in the Okta admin portal

As an Okta administrator, log in to your organization’s Okta Developer console here:

https://login.okta.com/

Please make sure you’re logged in to the admin portal

 

Click Applications  Create App Integration

 

Choose OIDC - OpenID Connect and Web Application  Next

2. Please enter the following under Application Settings:

General Settings

Application name: Wizer

Sign-on redirect URLs: https://api.wizer-training.com/api/v1/sso/okta/callback

Please select Skip group assignment for now or select based on your organizational settings 

Click Save and click Edit on the Application Page General Settings.

 

Check the following boxes:

Allowed Grant Types:

Authorization Code

Implicit (Hybrid)

Allow ID Token with implicit grant type

Login initiated by:

Either Okta or App

Application visibility:

Do not display application icon to users (Note: You will create a separate Bookmark App for the user dashboard in Step 6)
Do not display application icon in the Okta Mobile app

Login flow:

Redirect to app to initiate login (OIDC Compliant)

Initiate login URL: https://api.wizer-training.com/api/v1/sso/okta/callback

Click Save.

 

3. Settings in Wizer Application

Copy Client ID, and Client Secret and paste them to settings in Wizer Application (https://admin.wizer-training.com/settings/single-sign-on)

Paste the Okta Domain from your Okta Org URL (Do not include https:// or the trailing slash!). Your org URL will look like this:

Example: mycompany.okta.com

Click Save.

 

4. Assign users in Okta

Assign users to the Wizer application in Okta based on your organizational settings, so they can have access to it. 

Please make sure the user assignment is the same when you configure SCIM automatic provisioning.

5. Test your Okta login

Log out if you are logged in Employee App (https://app.wizer-training.com). In the Wizer admin panel, click your SSO Link in the Okta tab https://admin.wizer-training.com/settings/single-sign-on.

You will be redirected to the Employee App.

Click Log in.

 

You will be redirected to your Okta login web page. Enter your Okta credentials. You should be redirected back to the Wizer Employee App and should be Signed In.

 

 

Step 6: Create a Bookmark App for the Okta Dashboard (Required) Because this is an OIDC connection, the backend application you just created does not automatically create a working hotlink for your users' Okta dashboards. You must create a "Bookmark App" to provide them with a clickable Wizer icon.

  1. In the Okta Admin Console, go to ApplicationsApplications.
  2. Click Browse App Catalog.
  3. Search for and select Bookmark App, then click Add Integration.
  4. Enter the Application label (e.g., Wizer Training).
  5. For the URL, enter your unique Wizer SSO Link (You can find this link in your Wizer Admin Panel under Settings -> Single Sign-On -> Okta tab).
  6. Click Save.
  7. Assign the same users or groups to this Bookmark App that you assigned to the OIDC app in Step 4. This is the icon your employees will click to access Wizer!





Step 2: Configuring the SCIM Automatic user provisioning


Now you can generate and configure a SCIM bearer token.

Okta SCIM - Automatic User Provisioning

You may also Enforce SSO. This feature allows configuring SSO user access to Wizer. When SSO is not enforced the users can sign in to Wizer with SSO and password by using the reset password flow. This is considered a security issue, as it contradicts the very essence of the SSO application. Now as an Admin you can Enforce SSO in Wizer UI and forbid password usage for SSO users. Non-SSO users will still be able to log in with the password.
