How to Configure Okta SAML for Jotform Enterprise

March 25, 2025

Okta Single Sign-On (SSO) offers a seamless and secure way to manage user authentication across multiple applications, streamlining access and enhancing security. It provides a centralized identity and access management solution designed to simplify the login process while maintaining robust control over user credentials.

When integrated into your Jotform Enterprise Server, Okta SSO ensures secure and centralized access to forms, submissions, and administrative tools for users and administrators. This integration not only protects sensitive data but also improves operational efficiency and compliance.

Notes

  • Enabling SAML disables the integrated app’s regular sign-in page. Your users can log in to your server only through Okta.
  • Backup sign-in URLs where users can sign in using their regular username and password are not supported in Jotform Enterprise. You can contact Jotform Enterprise support to turn off SAML if necessary.

The Jotform Enterprise SAML integration currently supports the following features:

  • SP-initiated SSO
  • IDP-initiated SSO
  • Just in Time (JIT) provisioning

This integration uses the Jotform SAML application from Okta’s App Catalog. If you wish to set up Okta’s SAML 2.0 application for Jotfom Enterprise, visit How to Set Up Okta SSO for Jotform Enterprise instead.
