Step 5: Fill out attribute statements #

Attribute Statements allow Happl to get information about your Okta users on each login.

A email to user.email statement is required. Other mappings shown below are optional and configurable depending on your Okta setup. If in doubt, replicate the same config as shown.

Please share any changes, if any, from this screen with your Happl support contact.

Step 6: Obtain IdP metadata URL #

Happl needs to finalize enabling single sign-on with your Okta application.

To do this scroll down to the SAML Signing Certificates section on the Sign On tab of the Happl application. Pick the the SHA-2 row with an Active status. Click on the Actions dropdown button and then on the View IdP Metadata.

This will open up the SAML 2.0 Metadata XML file in a new tab in your browser. Copy this URL and send it to your support contact and await further instructions. If you're not clear who to send this link to or need further assistance, contact Happl support.

The link usually has this structure: https://<okta-org>.okta.com/apps/<app-id>/sso/saml/metadata

Step 7: Wait for confirmation #

Once you’ve configured the Okta app as shown above, make sure you send the metadata URL and information regarding the attribute statements (if any changes are applicable) to your support contact at Happl.

Wait for confirmation that this information has successfully been added to Happl. It usually takes us 1 business day to configure this information for you.
