Set up Okta authentication integration on your devices

This article outlines the steps required to configure Okta and prepare for deploying Single Sign-On (SSO) via Platform Single Sign-On on devices managed through Factorial IT.

To set up Okta authentication integration on your devices, follow the outlined steps to add the Platform Single Sign-On application, create a SCEP challenge, and finalize the deployment within the Primo profile, ensuring you gather all necessary information for configuration.


 

Add the Platform Single Sign-On application in Okta

  1. Go to Admin Console > Applications > Applications > Browse App Catalog
  2. Search for Platform Single Sign-On for macOS
  3. Click Add integration
    If the message This feature isn't enabled appears, contact your Okta Account Manager to enable Okta Device Access (paid feature).
  4. Open the app from your application list
  5. In the General tab, rename the app label if needed
  6. In the Sign On tab, make note of the Client ID (required for MDM configuration)
  7. In the Assignments tab, assign the app to the relevant users or groups

 

Create a SCEP challenge in Okta

  1. Go to Admin Console > Security > Device integrations
  2. Ensure the Device Access tab is visible (next to Endpoint Management)
    If the tab is missing, Okta Device Access is not yet enabled
  3. Add a Static SCEP certificate authority
  4. Make note of the following:
    • SCEP certificate URL
    • SCEP certificate challenge

 

Add Okta Verify to Fleet

  1. From the Okta Admin Console, go to Settings > Downloads
  2. Download Okta Verify for macOS
  3. Add the app to Fleet as software:
    • Simply upload the application file
    • Do not enable automatic deployment or self-service
    • Factorial IT will automatically adjust settings to handle deployment
       

Keep key information for MDM configuration

Make sure to save the following details for upcoming setup steps:

  • Okta domain (e.g. yourorganization.okta.com)
  • Client ID (from the Platform Single Sign-On application)
  • SCEP certificate URL
  • SCEP certificate challenge

 

Finalize the deployment

To finalize the deployment of Okta Platform SSO, go to a profile in Factorial IT: https://app.getprimo.com/profiles

  1. Enable the Okta Platform SSO setting
  2. Enter the required information (domain, Client ID, SCEP URL, and Challenge)
  3. Save the changes

Okta Platform SSO will then be activated on all devices targeted by the profile.

The deployment may take several minutes to complete, as Okta Verify must be installed on all targeted devices.
