This article provides a step-by-step guide to configuring SSO between OnceHub and Okta.
Requirements
To configure SSO in your account, you must be a OnceHub Administrator. However, you do not need a product license. Learn more
You must already have an account with Okta. The person configuring in Okta must be an administrator.
Step-by-step directions
Request access
SSO is intended for accounts with multiple users who take the extra security measure of signing into third-party applications using an identity provider. Please contact us to learn more. OnceHub can enable the SSO functionality in your account manually.
SAML configuration
You can access SAML configuration at OnceHub Account settings -> In the lefthand sidebar, select Security -> SSO.
OnceHub provides specific field values you can copy and configure within Okta.
Make sure you're in the Classic UI. You can select this by going to Developer Console -> Classic UI.
1. Create a New Application Integration
In Okta, go to Applications -> Create New App.
Figure 1: Create New App
In the popup, select Web. The sign on method should be SAML 2.0. Click Create.

| Single sign on URL + Select checkbox Use this for Recipient URL and Destination URL | ACS URL |
| [Not required; Okta refers to ACS URL for this function] |
These are the only required fields; the rest can be left blank.
4. Add an Attribute Statement
For the Name field, use email (in lower case). Map this to the Value field user.email.
You can keep the Name format on Unspecified.

8. Enable SSO for all users
Once you've verified your SSO configuration, you can select the Enable SSO for all users toggle. All Users in your OnceHub account can now access their account using SSO.
Important
Before you enable the account, make sure all your Users have matching email addresses for their OnceHub User profile and their Okta profile.
Once SSO is enabled, they will not be able to change their OnceHub email.
If their OnceHub email does not match the email in their IDP profile, they will not be able to log in.

Note
If existing Users were already signing into OnceHub using an email and password, they will no longer be able to do so. They will only be able to sign in using SSO.
