Updated over 7 months ago

Overview

This article provides the steps to configure SSO for CloudRanger (DCP) using Okta as IdP.

  1. Configure the CloudRanger SSO application on Okta.

  2. Contact Druva Support to get the SSO configuration set up in CloudRanger.

  3. Update the CloudRanger SSO application on Okta with the correct ‘Assertion Consumer Service URL’ and ‘SP Entity ID’.
