Is it possible to integrate Okta as an IDP (Identity Provider) for an application in Azure, where Azure would be the Service Provider?

Presently the authentication is managed by Azure AD, we have AD users that have been granted access to these applications hosted in Azure, and Use ADAL for logging in users, and obtaining tokens for securing API calls to the Backend APIs.

Can Okta be added as an IDP and added to the AAD, through SAML or WS-Federation?

  • Did you [see this](https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ee6bfd3f-3c4a-4201-9800-8189e67b4dea/how-can-we-integrate-okta-as-idp-in-azure-ad?forum=WindowsAzureAD)? – spottedmahn Nov 13 '17 at 15:39
  • Or [this one](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34297152/azure-ad-as-federation-provider-for-okta)? Kinda old now though... – spottedmahn Nov 13 '17 at 15:41
  • This one looks promising: [Okta AD Integration with Azure AD Domain Services](https://alanschmarr.wordpress.com/2016/02/22/okta-ad-integration-with-azure-ad-domain-services/) – spottedmahn Nov 13 '17 at 15:50
  • Thanks @spottedmahn, I've skimmed through these whilst looking for a solution, the B2C Custom option looks promising, as that might provide a seamless under the hood integration without writing custom code or authentication in the Web App. – sponturious Nov 14 '17 at 09:10
  • any luck, figuring this out? I've been searching for a while and haven't got a clear answer yet either. – fei0x Oct 31 '18 at 21:50

Yes, OKTA is listed as one of the third-party IDPs in the Azure AD federation compatibility list which can support federation with Azure Active Directory (AAD).

The supported scenario matrix is listed here.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.

    Yes, I have looked at the documentation already, but it doesn't clarify how to have it to federated with the AAD. I have managed to create a standalone authentication work without the AAD by using Okta as an IDP through WS-Federation. – sponturious Nov 13 '17 at 15:18
