Basic integration with Secure Web Authentication
As mentioned earlier, there are a few different kinds of integration, and one of them is SWA. This integration type was created for any application that doesn't support federated authentication. That means that the application does not support or allow an SSO flow where a user's authentication token is trusted across multiple systems or platforms. With SWA, Okta stores a user's credentials in a secure way, with strong encryption and a customer-specific private key. When an end user clicks on the application tile, the credentials are sent to the application login page via SSL. When setting up SWA integration, you can configure the credentials settings in the following ways:
- The user sets the username and password
- The administrator sets the username and password
- The administrator sets the username, the user sets the password
- The administrator sets the username, the password is the same as the Okta password...
