Okta IdP with Salesforce
My OPSWAT Central Management can be easily integrated with an existing Okta Salesforce integration to ensure that a device is compliant with the organization's security policy before it is granted access to Salesforce. This ensures that the device is not only authenticated by the IdP, but also tested for risks and vulnerabilities such as infections or unpatched versions of operating systems, BEFORE it access an organization's cloud services.
To get started with implementing My OPSWAT Central Management integration to enforce device posture check before granting a device to access Salesforce with Okta Single Sign On (SSO) service, you need to have SSO set up between Okta and Salesforce. If you haven't already done so, please follow the instructiosn here to set it up.
