How to Set Up Okta SSO for Jotform Enterprise

November 7, 2024

Okta’s single sign-on solution can quickly connect to third-party services including Jotform. To get started you must enable Single Sign-On on your Jotform Enterprise server. You also need an Okta account with admin permissions.

Note

  • Enabling SAML disables the integrated app’s regular sign-in page. Your users can log in to your server only through Okta.
  • Backup sign-in URLs where users can sign in using their regular username and password are not supported in Jotform Enterprise. You can contact Jotform Enterprise support to turn off SAML if necessary.

The Jotform Enterprise SAML integration currently supports the following features:

  • SP-initiated SSO
  • IdP-initiated SSO
  • Just in Time (JIT) provisioning
