IdP-Initiated Login with Okta Enterprise Connection Is Not Supported

An Enterprise Connection is configured using the Okta Enterprise Connection guide. Authentication functions correctly when the user signs in via the Universal Login. However, the user requests that Identity Provider (IdP)-initiated sign-in works for this connection.

• Okta Enterprise Connection

• IdP-Initiated Login

The Okta Enterprise Connection does not support IdP-initiated login.

• Configure a generic Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) connection to Okta that accepts IdP-initiated logins.

• In the Okta dashboard, create an application configured for SAML instead of OpenID Connect (OIDC).

• Verify that IdP-initiated SAML logins are accepted from Okta.
