AEM 6.1 Single-Sign-On(SSO) with OKTA

[#1]

What problem we are solving?

Configure AEM6.1 to allow authors to login to /projects.html using OKTA.

What's done?

Configured AEM6.1 author per the steps specified in the document-http://www.aemstuff.com/blogs/july/saml.html

Have we done OKTA integration with AEM6.1?

Yes; it's working in our Production environment; we created new test environment from scratch, OKTA SSO not working for the new author environment.

Issues we are facing: Not able to login to author using our network username & password.

ASK?

• What could be causing above errors? How to resolve them?
• Any known SSO bug with AEM 6.1?

Thanks.

I'm able to resolve the issue. I made changes few changes - (1) Apache config changes (2) Author & groups permissions were missing.

Hi Guru,

   None of the log message you mentioned is nothing to worry about.  Issue sounds to be different that saml.

Enable debug on   com.adobe.granite.auth.saml.SamlAuthenticationHandler and then repeat the test case and send us logs, osgi config snapshot and har file.  Generating HAR files and Analyzing Web Requests - Atlassian Documentation

Thanks,
