One of our enterprise hosting customers asked us if it would be possible to integrate FileMaker Server with Okta, their authentication provider. At first, we were not sure. But, after some quick research on the topic (and with a bit of a surprise that a solution already existed), we said, "Yes!"
...
What is Okta?
Before we talk about what happened next, we should share with you the main question we all had on our minds at the time. That is,
"What exactly is Okta?"
Okta is a leading independent provider of identity for the enterprise.
And if you are confused by that statement, just know that they are creating a platform for companies to securely authenticate users to their apps and resources both in the cloud and on-premise. They deploy services that allow IT admins who need one centralized point to manage access. Okta services include Single Sign-on, Multi-factor Authentication, Universal Directory, User Management, Lifecycle Management, and access gateways for their customers.
