Pathlight supports single sign-on with Okta via SAML (Secure Assertion Markup Language). In the Okta user interface, you can discover comprehensive details about the various settings utilized for configuring single sign-on.
To set up SAML, you need to configure it in both your Okta account and Pathlight. Begin the process in Okta, where you will obtain the necessary SAML information to finalize the configuration in Pathlight with the Pathlight team.
