Using Okta Single Sign On with Dext

You can connect your Okta account with your Dext account and enable single sign-on to access your Dext account via your Okta SSO login details.

First, you need to add Dext to your applications in Okta, then connect Okta SSO to your Dext account.

Add Dext to your Applications in Okta

To add Dext to your applications in Okta:

1. Find Dext in the Okta App Catalog
2. Add Dext to your applications
3. And enter the CRN of your Dext account

Connect Okta SSO to your Dext Account

To enable Okta SSO in your Dext account:

1. Go to the Practice settings in the sidebar, then Authentication.

2. Click Connect next to Okta.
3. Next, enter the Metadata URL from your application in Okta. It can be found under the ‘Sign On’ tab.

4. You will then see a page with your SAML configuration details. Verify they match the generated configuration in your Okta application.

That’s it! Now, you can assign users (or groups) to your application in Okta and start using the SSO.

Setting up Okta SSO for Multiple Dext Accounts

All of your Dext accounts can be set up for SSO. To connect them with Okta, you need to install a separate Dext application in your Okta tenant for each of them. These applications can after that be linked to your Dext accounts. 

To do that, use the relevant Metadata URL from Okta when you connect your application from the Authentications page of the relevant Dext account.

Supported Features

Currently, Dext only supports users logging into Dext via their apps dashboard in Okta.

The other users/colleagues on your Dext account will soon be able to log in by initiating the SSO flow from within Dext.

Troubleshooting

Change in SAML certificates

If you change your certificate in Okta, your SSO will stop working until you synchronize your connection in Dext. 

To do that:

1.  Go to your Authentications page and click on Refresh. 

2. You will see a modal that shows from which URL Dext will fetch your data. Click Refresh.

You can also manually enter your new credentials in the form on the page.

Connecting to a New Dext Application

If you want to connect to a new Dext application in your Okta tenant, you have to disconnect your current connection in Dext. 

To do that: 

1. Go to your Authentications page and click Disconnect, and confirm your action.

2. After that go through the integration flow again by entering your new Metadata URL. Verify that the fetched certificates match.
