For users to Authenticate with Okta, an Okta administrator must first provision an application to communicate with GlobalSearch.
Okta Application Setup
These initial setup steps will need to be performed by your Okta administrator.
- From the Applications page in Okta Admin, create a new App.
- Your application's Platform should be Web and Sign on method should be OpenID Connect.
- In General Settings, give the Application a name, and provide a logo. We recommend an application specific name like GlobalSearch. Application names will display on the user's App landing page, so using a name that let's the user know what application they will be loading is helpful. The Square 9 logo can be downloaded here for customers that wish to use it.
- In Configure OpenID Connect, provide the Login Redirect URI's for your GlobalSearch instance. Note, these are case sensitive in Okta, so we recommend you provide both case variants outlined here. The redirect URI represents the login page to your specific GlobalSearch instance. For most customers, this would be the server name or FQDN, followed by /square9web/login.html.
