How to configure Status Hero SSO with Okta and SAML 2.0

Updated over a week ago

Note: SSO/SAML is available in our Premium or Enterprise plans.

Setup and Configuration

To set up your Status Hero account with SSO/SAML and Okta, you'll need to take the following steps. Right now there is still a manual step on our end, so we'll need the link from the last step along with a heads-up that you would like to enable SSO/SAML with Okta for your account.

Once we confirm that everything works, we'll disable password authentication and magic link sign-in capability completely for your account.

Here are the steps:

  1. Log in to your Okta organization as a user with administrative privileges

  2. Click on the "Applications" tab

  3. Click on "Add Application" and search for "Status Hero"

  4. Add "Status Hero"

  5. Under "Sign-in Options", make sure the "Application username format" is set to "Email"

  6. Under "Sign-in Options", copy the link for the "Identity Provider Metadata" as shown in the screenshot below and send it to us at support@statushero.com (or within the support chat).

  7. Click "Done"

We'll configure your account to use the metadata and notify you.

Once we confirm that everything works, we'll disable password authentication and magic link sign-in capability completely for your account.

Provisioning Users

Once you have the application setup in Okta, you can either add users to both Okta and Status Hero, or use SCIM provisioning.

SCIM Provisioning

Here's how to setup SCIM Provisioning for your account;

  1. Under the "Provisioning" tab in the Status Hero application instance in Okta, click on the "Configure API Integration" button.

  2. Check off "Enable API integration"

  3. Fill in the Base URL with with the "SCIM v2.0 Base URL" found in your Status Hero account settings.

  4. Fill in the API token with the "SCIM Bearer Token" found in your Status Hero account settings.

  5. Test the connection with the "Test API Credentials" button

  6. Click "Save"

  7. Under "Provisioning to App", enable user creation, updates, and deactivations, and click "Save"

Once that's done, you'll able to assign and un-assign users to Status Hero from the Assignments tab. To see the users as they appear in Status Hero, visit the "Users" tab in your account settings in Status Hero.
