We now have to go back to our SAML provider (OKTA) and update a few fields to connect RedLine13 to your SAML SSO. Go back to OKTA, find where you set up RedLine13. In section general, to the right of SAML settings click ‘Edit’
Navigate to ‘Configure SAML’ either directly (if possible) or hitting ‘Next’
- From Redline Copy “Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL):” to “Single sign on URL” on OKTA.
- From RedLine13 copy “Identifier (Entity ID)” to “Audience URI (SP Entity ID)” on OKTA.
- On the OKTA screen scroll down and click Next (or Save). Make sure to hit Finish if using the OKTA wizard setup.
Now you can assign users and have them attempt to login.
