Warning

Enabling SAML affects all members of your enterprise.

{% data variables.product.prodname_emus %} doesn't provide a backup sign in URL where members of your enterprise can sign in using their regular username and password. If you are unable to sign in, contact {% data variables.contact.enterprise_support %} via the {% data variables.contact.contact_enterprise_portal %} for assistance.

Supported features

The {% data variables.product.prodname_emu_idp_application %} application on Okta supports SP-initiated SSO and IdP-initiated SSO.

Configuring Okta

  1. Install the Okta application for your environment.

  2. In the application on Okta, click the Assignments tab and assign the application to your Okta account.

  3. Click the Sign on tab.

  4. Next to "Enterprise Name," type the name of your {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_emu_enterprise %}.

    [!NOTE] For example, if you sign in to github.com/enterprises/octocorp or {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_example_domain %}, your enterprise name is octocorp.

  5. On the "Sign on" tab, under "SAML 2.0," click More details.

  6. In order to configure your enterprise on {% data variables.product.github %} later, note down the following items:

    • "Sign on URL"
    • "Issuer"
    • "Signing certificate"

Configuring your enterprise

  1. Sign in to your {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_emu_enterprise %}.
  2. Using the details you noted from Okta, follow the steps in AUTOTITLE.

Enabling provisioning

After you enable SAML SSO, enable provisioning. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.
