Okta Installation Guide (SAML)

Suggest Edits

🚧

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

🚧

Making edits?

Before you edit your SSO configuration, make sure you are logged into MyMoveworks. Otherwise, you will not be able to log in and update your SSO configuration details.

Okta SSO Prerequisites

  • Have access to an Okta tenant
  • Be an Okta administrator to that tenant

Moveworks SSO Prerequisites

  • Your Moveworks Environment should be initialized in order to continue. (Verify with your Account Team if this has been completed)

  • Note the following values.

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

      Data Centerdata_center_domain
      United States (default)moveworks.com
      Canadaam-ca-central.moveworks.com
      EUam-eu-central.moveworks.com
      Australia / Asia Pacificam-ap-southeast.moveworks.com
      Government Secure Cloudmoveworksgov.com

    • subdomain - your organization's login subdomain. The value for subdomain should match your customer_id, which can be verified from the General Information Page.

      🚧

      Warning

      Make sure to use the 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 which is part of the US Data center.

    • customer_id - The unique identifier for your organization . This is stored as Org Name under Organization Details > General Information

      ❗️

      The Org name cannot be changed. Once set, the same value should be used in all cases.

      In exceptional cases where you would like Moveworks to support your organisation with a different subdomain value. Please reach out to Moveworks Support.
