Solution Summary
This guide describes Okta integration with RSA using SAML 2.0 and SCIM. Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.
Use Case
Okta can be integrated with RSA using SAML Relying Party, SAML My Page, and SCIM. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to Okta.
Integration Types
SCIM: Okta will serve as the SCIM client, with Cloud Access Service (CAS) acting as a SCIM server, providing an endpoint for the SCIM client to connect to.
This integration will allow the administrators of Okta to synchronize any changes performed in Okta with the Unified Directory of CAS. Any CRUD operations (create, read, update, and delete) done on the users on the Okta side will automatically synchronize to the CAS without any manual intervention needed from the administrator side.
SSO integrations use SAML 2.0 or HFED technologies to direct users' web browsers to CAS for authentication. The integration provides Single Sign-On (SSO) using Relying Party and My Page.
- Relying Party integrations use SAML 2.0 to direct users’ web browsers to CAS for authentication. With Relying Party integration, CAS can manage either additional authentication only or both primary authentication (for example, user ID and password) and additional authentication, depending on the service provider's capability.
-
My Page provides SSO to Okta users leveraging the RSA self-service portal My Page. Both SP-initiated SSO and IdP-initiated SSO are supported.
Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with IDR.
Note: RSA recommends using My Page instead of IDR SSO. At a to-be-determined future date, RSA will announce the end-of-life (EOL) date for the SAML SSO support with IDR. For more information, see Available Now: My Page SSO Enhancements.
Supported Features
This section shows all the supported features by integration type and by RSA components. Use this information to determine which integration type and RSA component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA with Okta using each integration type.

Configuration Summary
This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate Okta with RSA using all of the integration types.
This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations. It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product documentation for all products to install the required components.
All RSA and Okta components must be installed and working prior to the integration.
This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
