Connect Salesforce with Okta to centralize SSO, enforce MFA and role-based access, and streamline user provisioning and deprovisioning across teams and apps.
• Salesforce authentication is routed through Okta using SAML 2.0 (or OIDC where applicable), with Okta acting as the identity provider and Salesforce as the service provider.
• Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning can create or update Salesforce users at first login, mapping attributes such as username, email, locale, and federation identifier from Okta claims.
• SCIM-based provisioning (when used) syncs user create, update, deactivate, and re-activate events from Okta to Salesforce, with lifecycle events driven by Okta as the system of record.
• Okta groups are mapped to Salesforce access constructs (profiles, permission sets, and app assignments), keeping entitlements aligned with identity governance rules.
• Session handling relies on Salesforce and Okta policies, including MFA requirements, IP/network conditions, and device posture signals, with enforcement evaluated during authentication.
• Provisioning and sign-in events are logged in Okta and Salesforce, enabling traceability for failed assertions, attribute mismatches, and deprovisioning actions.

We configure Salesforce as a SAML 2.0 app in Okta, map Okta groups to Salesforce permission sets, and enforce MFA policies in Okta. Access changes follow your identity rules, not ad hoc admin work.
Yes – we implement SCIM provisioning so user creation, updates, and deactivation in Salesforce follow Okta lifecycle events. This reduces orphaned accounts and speeds up onboarding and offboarding.
Typically email, username, name, locale, and role-related fields, plus custom attributes if your org needs them. We validate mappings against your Salesforce user model to avoid sync errors.
Yes – we can connect Okta to multiple Salesforce orgs and environments with separate app assignments and policies. This keeps QA, UAT, and production access clean and auditable.
We trace SAML responses, certificate settings, and NameID formats, then verify user matching rules and profile defaults. The goal is consistent sign-in without creating duplicate users.
