Auth0 OIN Express Configuration Fails With Single Sign-On Error
Last Updated:
Overview
An Okta Integration Network (OIN) Express Configuration fails when the user holds an administrative role outside the organization context. Assigning the correct organizational role to the user resolves this issue.
When an administrator goes to the Sign On section and selects Express Configure SSO & UL, Okta redirects to an Auth0 Universal Login screen. After the administrator enters the credentials of an application user permitted to perform Express Configuration, the Auth0 login and consent screens appear. In Auth0, this refers to a user who is a member of an organization and is authorized to perform Express Configuration using an organizational role or other authorization method. The permissions are missing on the consent screen, displaying an empty box on the widget.
The user is authorized to configure Single Sign-On (SSO), but Okta generates the following error:
Failed to configure Single Sign-On on application. Please retry or contact Okta support.
