Single Sign-on (SSO) using Okta Integration Network with SAML protocol

Written by Val Stanislavov
Updated this week

This integration allows you to manage 1VALET staff accounts with Okta directly.

Note that staff account's level of access needs to be configured in the 1CONNECT Portal, however the sign-in capability is managed by Okta.

The integration uses SAML 2.0 protocol.

Supported Features

The Okta/1VALET SAML integration currently supports the following features:

  • SP-initiated SSO

  • IDP-initiated SSO

For more information on the listed features, visit the Okta Glossary

Configuration Steps

Please note that enabling SAML affects the staff members in all of your buildings. Users won't be able to sign in with their 1CONNECT passwords any longer. Instead, they will access their 1CONNECT Portal and App through the Okta service.

For IDP-initiated SSO simply find the 1VALET App in your list of apps in OKTA, and click on the app icon.

For SP-initiated SSO please follow these steps:

  1. Contact 1VALET Support (support@1valet.com) to let them know you are interested in the OKTA integration.

  2. 1VALET Support will provide you with the Schema Identifier, which you will need to set up as the Entity ID during the registration process in OKTA

    1. Entity ID is unique per customer and should be set for 1VALET integration in the OKTA integration configuration.

  3. Go to the OKTA integrations page. You can either search for "1VALET" or go directly to https://www.okta.com/integrations/1valet/. Add 1VALET integration to your OKTA account.

  4. Email 1VALET Support back and request that they enable the OKTA integration for your account in the 1VALET system.

    1. Include the Metadata URL located on the Sign On tab > Sign on methods > SAML 2.0 -> Metadata details with your request.

  5. After receiving a confirmation email from 1VALET Support, you can start assigning people to the application.

  6. In Okta, select the Sign On tab for the 1VALET SAML app, then click Edit:

    1. Scroll down to Advanced Sign-on Settings

    2. Set username format: Select email

    3. Click Save
