This guide will walk you through how to configure SSO using Okta. **Note**: Please refer to the [Okta documentation](https://help.okta.com/oie/en-us/content/topics/apps/apps-about-saml.htm) for the latest instructions for setting up SSO for applications using SAML. The instructions below are meant as a general guide and might not reflect the latest changes in Okta. For detailed instructions about setting up SSO in MASV, see [How to set up single sign-on (SSO) in MASV](https://help.massive.io/en/getting-started-with-sso?hsLang=en). ### Creating a SAML Application in Okta 1. Ensure you are logged into your admin page in Okta. 2. Navigate to **Applications** using the side navigation. 3. Select **Create App Integration**. A window should open. 4. Select **SAML 2.0** as the integration type. You should be redirected to the integration setup page. ![Create a new Okta app integration](https://help.massive.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Create%20a%20new%20Okta%20app%20integration.png?width=670&name=Create%20a%20new%20Okta%20app%20integration.png) 5. Give your application a name. For example, **MASV**. ![Create SAML integration Okta](https://help.massive.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Create%20SAML%20integration%20Okta.png?width=670&name=Create%20SAML%20integration%20Okta.png) 6. Select **Next**. 7. You are prompted to enter the single sign-on URL and Audience URI (SP Entity ID). You can copy this information from your MASV **SSO Settings** page if you've already [verified your domain in MASV](https://help.massive.io/en/getting-started-with-sso?hsLang=en). 1. Copy the **ACS URL** value from your MASV **SSO Settings** page and paste it into the **Single sign-on URL** field in Okta. 2. Copy the **SP Entity ID** value from your MASV **SSO Settings** page and paste it into the **Audience URL (SP Entity ID)** field in Okta. 8. Select **Unspecified** as the value of **Name ID format**. 9. Select **Okta username** as the value of **Application username**. 10. Select **Create and update** as the value of **Update application username on**. Your SAML Integration creation page in Okta should now look something like the screen below. ![Create SAML integration step 2 Okta](https://help.massive.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Create%20SAML%20integration%20step%202%20Okta.png?width=670&name=Create%20SAML%20integration%20step%202%20Okta.png) 11. Scroll down to find the **Attribute Statements** section. You need to map your Okta user attributes to specific fields so that MASV can correctly provision your users. 12. Add two new empty fields, and then fill them out according to the table below. | **Name** | **Name format** | **Value** | | --- | --- | --- | | saml\_subject | Unspecified | Must be okta Be sure to enter this value manually! | | email | Unspecified | user.email (select from suggestions) | | name | Unspecified | user.firstName (select from suggestions) | Your attribute statements table should now look something like this: ![Attribute statements ](https://help.massive.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Attribute%20statements%20.png?width=670&name=Attribute%20statements%20.png) 1. Leave the **Group Attribute Statements** section empty. 2. Select **Next**. 3. Select **I’m an Okta customer adding an internal app**.![Create SAML integration Okta step 3](https://help.massive.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Create%20SAML%20integration%20Okta%20step%203.png?width=670&name=Create%20SAML%20integration%20Okta%20step%203.png) 4. Select **Finish**. ### Importing Okta’s Metadata Into MASV After completing the previous step, the Okta information page should resemble the screen below. ![Okta sign on settings](https://help.massive.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Okta%20sign%20on%20settings.png?width=670&name=Okta%20sign%20on%20settings.png) You must now find the XML version of Okta’s metadata and import it into MASV.  #### To import Okta XML metadata into MASV 1. In Okta, scroll to the bottom of your applications page. 2. On the right sidebar,  select **View SAML setup instructions**.  ![Okta SAML setup](https://help.massive.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Okta%20SAML%20setup.png?width=300&name=Okta%20SAML%20setup.png) 3. You are redirected to a page titled **How to Configure SAML 2.0 for \ Application**. Scroll down until you see **Optional**. 4. Copy the XML data from the **Provide the following IDP metatdata to your SP provider** text field.![Okta IDP metadata](https://help.massive.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Okta%20IDP%20metadata.png?width=670&name=Okta%20IDP%20metadata.png) 5. In MASV, on the **SSO Settings** page, paste the XML metadata you copied from Okta into the **RAW Metadata** field that is under **SAML Configuration**. ![Okta Raw Metadata](https://help.massive.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Okta%20Raw%20Metadata.png?width=614&height=295&name=Okta%20Raw%20Metadata.png) 6. In the lower right corner of the **SSO Settings** page, select **Save**. If configured correctly, an **Active** tag appears beside the **SAML Configuration** heading in MASV. 7. **SSO Name** now appears in the upper right corner. Enter a name your users will use to sign in your team with SSO. For example, if you enter **masv**, your users must enter **masv** as the **SSO Name** on the SSO sign in page. 8. Select the **Enable SSO** toggle so that SSO is on. 9. If you want to require users to sign in with SSO, select the **Require login with SSO** toggle. If you want to allow users to sign in with SSO or email authentication, ensure the toggle is off. 10. Select **Save** to apply your settings. ### Assign users to your application You must now assign your newly created Okta applications to your users. Okta has a guide for this [here](https://help.okta.com/en-us/Content/Topics/Provisioning/lcm/lcm-assign-app-user.htm). Users your application is not assigned to will be unable to log into MASV with SSO. #### Try it out Navigate to MASV’s SSO sign-in page and enter the SSO name you chose for your team. When you click “Sign in”, you should be redirected to Okta to authenticate. Once you’ve finished authenticating, you should be redirected to MASV. If you are redirected to the MASV dashboard, great! You can continue using MASV as normal. If you are redirected to a screen prompting you to accept an email invitation, please do so and then sign back in with SSO. - [Get started with MASV](https://help.massive.io/en/get-started-with-masv?hsLang=en) - [Send and request files](https://help.massive.io/en/send-and-request-files?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Send files](https://help.massive.io/en/send-and-request-files?hsLang=en#send-files) - [Request files with portals](https://help.massive.io/en/send-and-request-files?hsLang=en#request-files-with-portals) - [MASV Studio](https://help.massive.io/en/send-and-request-files?hsLang=en#masv-studio) - [Advanced settings](https://help.massive.io/en/send-and-request-files?hsLang=en#advanced-settings) - [Apps & Integrations](https://help.massive.io/en/apps-integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Working with integrations](https://help.massive.io/en/apps-integrations?hsLang=en#working-with-integrations) - [Cloud integrations](https://help.massive.io/en/apps-integrations?hsLang=en#cloud-integrations) - [On-premises and cloud storage devices](https://help.massive.io/en/apps-integrations?hsLang=en#on-premises-and-cloud-storage-devices) - [Asset management & collaboration](https://help.massive.io/en/apps-integrations?hsLang=en#asset-management-collaboration) - [Teams and user management](https://help.massive.io/en/teams-and-user-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Teams](https://help.massive.io/en/teams-and-user-management?hsLang=en#teams) - [Roles & Teamspaces](https://help.massive.io/en/teams-and-user-management?hsLang=en#roles-teamspaces) - [Single Sign-On (SSO)](https://help.massive.io/en/teams-and-user-management?hsLang=en#single-sign-on-sso) - [Manage file transfers](https://help.massive.io/en/manage-file-transfers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Transfer History & Dashboard](https://help.massive.io/en/manage-file-transfers?hsLang=en#transfer-history-dashboard) - [Notifications](https://help.massive.io/en/manage-file-transfers?hsLang=en#notifications) - [Custom Metadata](https://help.massive.io/en/manage-file-transfers?hsLang=en#custom-metadata) - [Account and billing](https://help.massive.io/en/account-and-billing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account](https://help.massive.io/en/account-and-billing?hsLang=en#account) - [Billing](https://help.massive.io/en/account-and-billing?hsLang=en#billing) - [Extended Storage](https://help.massive.io/en/account-and-billing?hsLang=en#extended-storage) - [FAQs](https://help.massive.io/en/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Releases](https://help.massive.io/en/releases?hsLang=en) - [MASV Studio](https://help.massive.io/en/masv-studio?hsLang=en) [![MASV\_Logo\_Colour\_2026](https://help.massive.io/hs-fs/hubfs/MASV_Logo_Colour_2026.png?width=100&height=25&name=MASV_Logo_Colour_2026.png "MASV_Logo_Colour_2026")](https://massive.io) #### MASV Help Center **[MASV Service Status](https://masv.statuspage.io/)** Copyright © 2026, MASV
