2. Provide Okta Connection Details

Once you have created your ConveYour Okta application, you need to provide certain information to the ConveYour Support team so that we can enable the Okta integration on your Organization's account. Please use this link to a Jotform to provide us with the Okta connection details.

3. ConveYour Team Setup

Once we have received your connection details, we will install those details into your ConveYour organization's account. We will then reach out to your PoC to test the setup and confirm successful integration.

OKTA FAQ

Do you integrate with Okta's SCIM feature for automatically updating a ConveYour roster with Okta profiles? As of August '22, not yet. But we have plans to in the future.

Can Okta be turned on just for the backend and not for the Learner Portal users and vice versa? Yes

Once the integration is turned on do you enforce the use of Okta instead of password-based logins? Yes, once Okta is turned on, users have no other way to authenticate.
