SSO: Okta

Okta is a cloud-based Identity Management Service that can hold the online identity of all your SmarterU users (e.g,. employees, partners, or customers). Using a process called Single Sign-On (SSO), Okta enables your users to quickly log into numerous different applications across the internet without having to enter any credentials.

SmarterU has created the SSO for Okta to use with SmarterU. Learners from Okta will never have to worry about their SmarterU credentials and will simply click on the SmarterU application in their Okta account to access their SmarterU courses.

You may also enable our SAML Just-in-time User Creation. This feature, which works with Okta, will automatically create user accounts if they don’t already exist.
