Using Striim Cloud with Okta

You can configure Striim Cloud to allow users in your organization to log in using Okta single sign-on (SSO). This requires you to create a SAML application in Okta, assign that application to your users, and configure Striim Cloud to trust Okta as an identity provider (IdP). For more information, see SAML app integrations.

Create a SAML application in Okta for Striim

  1. Log in to your Okta account as an Admin user. Okta may ask you to log in again.

  2. Click the Admin button on the top right corner.

  3. In the left panel, select Applications > Applications, then click Create App Integration.

  6. Enter the following for Single sign on URL: <your striim account url>/auth/saml/callback

  7. Check the box Use this for Recipient URL and Destination URL.

  8. Enter the following for Audience URI (SP Entity ID): <your-striim-account-url>

  9. Create the following attribute statements for first name, last name and email, then click Next.

  10. Choose I'm an Okta customer adding an internal app and click Finish.

  11. Go the Sign On tab of the application you just created and click View SAML Setup Instructions.

  12. Copy the values for the Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL, Identity Provider Issuer and X.509 Certificate into a text editor. You’ll need those to enable SAML authentication in your Striim Cloud account.

  13. Assign the Okta application to your users from the Assignments tab of your app.
