Overview

The objective of this document is to provide the necessary details to integrate Okta with your Everyspace account. Okta integration provides seamless SSO that automatically creates users in your Everyspace dashboard when they log in with their Okta credentials. If you have any questions, please reach out to your onboarding representative.

Supported features

  • Service Provider (SP)-Initiated flow

  • Identity Provider (IDP)-Initiated flow

  • Just-In-Time Provisioning

  • Full directory sync

Getting started

  • From the "Applications" tab, click "Create App Integration".

  • From the provided sign-in method options, choose "OIDC - OpenID Connect". This will allow you to select an application type. Choose "Web Application" and click Next.

  • On the new page, fill out the application name, for example "Everyspace".

  • For Grant Type, make sure "Authorization Code" is checked.

  • Enter the Sign-in redirect URI. This is based on the subdomain associated with your account. For example, if you access your dashboard through "piedpiper.everyspacehq.com", enter https://piedpiper.everyspacehq.com/__/auth/handler.

  • Enter the Sign-out redirect URI. This is also based on the subdomain associated with your account. For "piedpiper.everyspacehq.com" this would be https://piedpiper.everyspacehq.com/logout.

  • Leave the Trusted Origins section blank.

  • Under Assignments, you have the option to enable Everyspace for everyone in your organization or limit access to certain users. This can also be skipped for now and configured later.

  • Click Save.

  • (Optional) After saving, you will have the ability to enable Identity Provider Initiated Login. Click "Edit" in the General Settings section and scroll down to the Login section. Change "Login initiated by" from "App Only" to "Either Okta or App". Check off the "Application visibility" options you want to enable for your users. Set "Login flow" to "Redirect to app to initiate login (OIDC Compliant)". The "Initiate login URI" is also based on the subdomain associated with your account. For "piedpiper.everyspacehq.com" this would be https://piedpiper.everyspacehq.com/login/okta-oidc.

Sending configuration to Everyspace

From the application page, navigate to the "General" tab, and send the Client ID and Client secret to your Everyspace representative at support@everyspacehq.com. See the screenshot below.

(Optional) Enabling Directory & User Profile Syncing

By default, anyone who log into your Everyspace dashboard will be available in the "People" tab. If you want to sync your list of employees ahead of time as well as pull additional detail like Department and Manager, you can sync this directly from Okta.

To get started, head over to the "Apps & Integrations" section of your Admin dashboard.

Click "View Details" and then "Configure Directory Sync".

This will walk you through a comprehensive, guided tour on how to link your Okta users to your Everyspace dashboard.

Logging in with Okta

There are two ways that your team can log into your Everyspace dashboard with Okta:

  • Go to https://<your-subdomain>.everyspacehq.com/ and click Log in with Okta

  • Go to your Okta homepage and select the "Everyspace" tile
