SAML is not recommended

Moveworks recommends that you set up your Okta apps via OIDC. Our OIDC installation will provide a better experience. You can follow the instructions here (🔗).

This document describes the steps required to set up the Moveworks as a SAML application in Okta. Doing this will allow employees in your organization to access the Moveworks Control Center through their Okta dashboard, in the same way as they use single sign-on to access other apps they use.

Prerequisites

Okta SSO Prerequisites

• Super Admin access to Okta instance is required to complete the instructions below

Moveworks SSO Prerequisites

• Your Moveworks organization should be initialized (verify with your account team)

• Note the following values.

  • data_center_domain - the data center where your organization is hosted (see table below).

  • subdomain - your organization's login subdomain. This will generally match your customer_id, but you can verify or customize it in General Information.

    🚧

    Warning

    Make sure you ONLY note your unique subdomain. For example, if you're organization's login subdomain is acme.moveworks.com, then your subdomain is acme and your data_center_domain is moveworks.com

  • [Optional] customer_id - unique identifier for your organization (can not be changed). This is stored as Org Name under Organization Details > General Information
