Single Sign-On (SSO) Login Steps
Many organizations use SSO for a more secure and streamlined login experience. If your company uses an identity provider (IdP) like Okta, you'll use this method to log in.
  1. Go to the Login Page: Navigate to the Actian Data Observability Platform login page.
  2. Enter Credentials: Use your registered email address.
  3. If SSO is configured for your account, you will be navigated to the IDP option. If multiple SSOs are configured, you will need to select the desired one.
  4. You will be redirected to your organization's identity provider login page.
  5. Enter your Company Credentials: Use your standard company username and password to authenticate.
  6. Redirect to Actian: After successful authentication with your IdP, you'll be redirected back to the Actian account.
Please click [SSO Configuration] (sso-configuration.md) to learn more about setting up your SSO configuration.
