These data mappings are used to correctly display usernames, send portal notifications to associated email addresses, and are used in Netacea’s Audit Trail feature to identify which actions were taken by who and when. User mappings are created automatically when a user logs into the Netacea Portal via SSO - and can be removed either by request, or through the User Management section of Netacea’s Portal.

  • Click on Next

  • Select the App type checkbox and then click on Finish

Copy the Metadata URL so it can be pasted into the Netacea SSO setup page.

  • Populate the Attribute Mappings using the Attribute Statements from Okta:

    • Given Name Attribute

      • In the example above, the value is given_name

Testing

It is recommended to configure SSO in a separate incognito mode window of your browser. This way, you keep the session in the standard window, allowing you to switch off the SSO authorization in case something is misconfigured.

  • Select Enterprise SSO Login

  • Login using a valid email address associated with the Okta application.
