title: Configuring OKTA (SAML)
weight: 1200
---
_Available as of v2.2.0_
If your organization uses OKTA Identity Provider (IdP) for user authentication, you can configure Rancher to allow your users to log in using their IdP credentials.
## Prerequisites
In Okta, create a SAML Application with the settings below. See the [Okta documentation](https://developer.okta.com/standards/SAML/setting_up_a_saml_application_in_okta) for help.
>**Note:** You should set `Single Sign on URL` and `Audience URI (SP Entity ID)` as the following description.
Setting | Value
------------|------------
`Single Sign on URL` | `https://[rancher server address]/v1-saml/okta/saml/acs`
`Audience URI (SP Entity ID)` | `https://[rancher server address]/v1-saml/okta/saml/metadata`
## Configuring OKTA in Rancher
1. From the **Global** view, select **Security > Authentication** from the main menu.
1. Select **OKTA**.
1. Complete the **Configure Okta Account** form. The examples below describe how you can map OKTA attributes to fields within Rancher.
| Field | Description |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Display Name Field | The attribute that contains the display name of users. |
| User Name Field | The attribute that contains the user name/given name. |
| UID Field | An attribute that is unique to every user. Either it can be the same as `User Name Field` or you can define a different one according to your own request. |
| Groups Field | Make entries for managing group memberships. |
| Rancher API Host | The URL for your Rancher Server. |
| Private Key / Certificate | A key/certificate pair to create a secure shell between Rancher and your IdP. |
| Metadata XML | The `metadata.xml` file that you restored from your IdP server. |
>**Tip:** You can generate a key/certificate pair using an openssl command. For example:
>
> openssl req -x509 -sha256 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout myservice.key -out myservice.cert
1. After you complete the **Configure Okta Account** form, click **Authenticate with Okta**, which is at the bottom of the page.
Rancher redirects you to the IdP login page. Enter credentials that authenticate with Okta IdP to validate your Rancher Okta configuration.
>**Note:** If nothing seems to happen, it's likely because your browser blocked the pop-up. Make sure you disable the pop-up blocker for your rancher domain and whitelist it in any other extensions you might utilize.
**Result:** Rancher is configured to work with Okta. Your users can now sign into Rancher using their Okta logins.
