Hi, Came across your repo while searching for the okta saml integration with Django. Can you please let me know if the integration worked for you then. I know its been a while that you worked on this. But any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi @nithincp

Yes, this did work with Okta SAML app and Django auth template (not react), and was using this in a commercial context with:

django-saml2-auth = "^2.2.1"

It was a case of adding the SAML2_AUTH = {...} dict in the settings (as per the library docs) and ensuring ATTRIBTUTES_MAP:{..} is mapped from the SAML attrs to your data model.

I recommend this browser ext

Hi Jon,

Very much appreciate your reply.

What about the cert that we are getting from Okta, I dont see that getting used anywhere in the Django project. Is that not needed?

Thanks Nithin

Hey there - did you try following something like https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/build-sso-integration/saml2/main/#deployment-models and use the browser extension mentioned?

Django will be receiving a request to a callback from Okta (the identity provider) containing SAML, which is then parsed by the django-saml2-auth library.

What about the cert that we are getting from Okta,

There are no certs transferred..
