Overview - Okta Integration

Altinity uses Auth0 so that customers who are already logged into other identity providers such as Google or Okta are automatically granted access to Altinity.Cloud.

The following diagram shows the Altinity login process using Auth0, plus adding Okta as discussed on this page.

  1. Logging in to Altinity.Cloud using a Login Email and Password.
  2. The Auth0 login link to use a 3rd party authenticator such as Google or Okta. (See Okta/Auth0 Altinity Integration)
  3. Using Okta allows previously authorized logged-in employees to gain immediate access to Altinity.Cloud. (See Okta Customer Configuration)
