Integrate Okta with Yarken using OIDC

Yarken supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication with Okta, allowing your organization to use Okta as its Identity Provider (IdP) for Single Sign-On (SSO).

After you configure the integration, users can sign in to Yarken using their existing corporate Okta credentials. Okta authenticates the user and sends an ID token to Yarken containing user and group information. Yarken uses the user's Okta group membership to determine their application roles and permissions.

Use this guide to configure Okta SSO for Yarken. Complete the tasks in order, then validate authentication and role-based access before enabling SSO for all users.

What you can do with the integration

Integrating Okta with Yarken enables you to:

  • Provide Single Sign-On (SSO) for Yarken users.

  • Centralize user authentication through Okta.

  • Manage Yarken access using existing Okta groups.

  • Reduce password management by eliminating separate Yarken credentials.

  • Apply role-based access control using Okta group assignments.

Who should use this guide?

This guide is intended for:

  • Okta administrators.

  • Identity and Access Management (IAM) administrators.

  • IT administrators responsible for SSO.

  • Yarken implementation teams.

You should be familiar with the Okta Admin Console and have permission to create and manage applications in your Okta tenant.

How the integration works

Configuring Okta SSO with Yarken is a collaborative process between your organization and the Yarken implementation team.
