Okta SSO

Foxglove organizations can use Okta as authorization provider.

Create Okta application

Create a new app integration on your Okta dashboard:

  • Sign-in method – OIDC - OpenID Connect
  • Application type – Single-Page Application
  • Grant type – Authorization code
  • Sign-in redirect URI – In https://app.foxglove.dev/{YOUR-FOXGLOVE-SLUG}/signin format (find YOUR-FOXGLOVE-SLUG on the Settings page)
  • Sign-out redirect URI – https://app.foxglove.dev/signin
  • Trusted Origins – Add https://app.foxglove.dev
  • Access – Note that "Federation Broker Mode" is incompatible with Okta tiles

Enable Okta application tile

Optionally, you can enable Okta application tile sign in using these settings:

  • Login initiated by – Either Okta or App
  • Login flow – Redirect to app to initiate login (OIDC Compliant)
  • Login URI – Same as the sign-in redirect URL in the previous step (https://app.foxglove.dev/{YOUR-FOXGLOVE-SLUG}/signin)
  • Application visibility – Display application icon to users

This Foxglove logo works well as a custom tile icon.

Foxglove OIDC configuration

Configure application settings on the Okta SSO settings page:

Foxglove SSO settings

  • Okta domain – Find in the Okta dashboard's profile dropdown (xxxxx.okta.com)

    Okta domain
  • Client ID – Find in the Applications list, below the app name

    Okta clientId

(Optional) Disable non-Okta sign in

Confirm that your Okta SSO setup works by signing out and signing back in with Okta SSO.

Use the SSO settings tab to disable or re-enable all other authentication methods.

Manage members

  • Provision members – Any Okta user with access to the Foxglove Okta application can sign in. A new Foxglove account is automatically created on first sign in.

  • Remove users – Revoke the user's access in Okta, then remove the associated user on Foxglove's Team settings page to sign them out of Foxglove immediately. If non-Okta sign in methods are enabled for your account, emails matching your approved domains can always sign up.
