Okta

1. Create A New App In Okta

   The first step is to create a new Okta App for vCluster Platform.

   

   Okta - Create a new App in Okta

   Next select "Web" App and make sure OpenID Connect is the single sign on method.

   

   Okta - Web App with OpenID Connect as single sign on method

   In the next screen make sure the login redirect URIs contain your vCluster Platform instance domain:

   # Exchange the ${my-loft-domain.com} with your vCluster Platform domain
   https://${my-loft-domain.com}/auth/oidc/callback

   

   Okta - The App settings for vCluster Platform

2. Enable Refresh Tokens

   After creating an Okta app for vCluster Platform, ensure that "Refresh Token" is checked under "Allowed grant types" - otherwise your users will have to re-login everytime after a session expires.

   

   Okta - App Settings: Enable Refresh Tokens

3. Enable Group Claims

   If you want to propagate the users groups to vCluster Platform, then make sure the Group Filters in Okta are set accordingly. If you want to propagate all groups, add a RegEx filter with '.*'

   

   Okta - Propagate User Groups To vCluster Platform

4. Configure vCluster Platform To Use Okta

   

   Okta - Client ID and Secret For App

   After configuring Okta for vCluster Platform, navigate to Admin > Config in vCluster Platform and enter the following configuration:

   auth:
     oidc:
       issuerUrl: "https://${MY-OKTA-SUBDOMAIN}.okta.com"
       clientId: CLIENT_ID
       clientSecret: CLIENT_SECRET
       groupsClaim: groups
       # This is needed because okta uses thin id tokens
       # that do not contain the groups directly
       getUserInfo: true

   

   vCluster Platform - Configure vCluster Platform To Use Okta

5. Add Users via Okta Assigments

   Please make also sure that you have assigned the correct Users and Groups that you would like to access vCluster Platform in Okta.

   

   Okta - Assign Users & Groups To vCluster Platform

   After users or their groups are assigned to vCluster Platform, they will be able to log in via Okta:

   

   vCluster Platform - SSO via Okta

6. Disable Username + Password Authentication (optional)

   To disable password-based authentication, navigate to Admin > Config add these two lines to your config:

   auth:
     oidc: ...             # This is your SSO configuration (make sure this is working!)
     password:
       disabled: true      # Disable password-based authentication
