Hi All,
I need help to set up authentication in Power Pages with Okta. This is the first time I am using it. I have gone through the documentation but could not find details around the solution I am looking for. Below is the solution I am looking for:
Application: Microsoft Power Pages
Limitation: Power Pages only supports SP initiated login (OIDC or SAML). It does not support an IdP initiated SAML flow.
Requirement: The customer wants users to start from their Google Workspace dashboard and click a custom SAML app tile. That tile sends an IdP initiated SAML assertion.
Question: Can Okta sit in the middle and act as a bridge?
Desired flow:
Google Workspace → Okta
Google is configured as a SAML IdP.
The app tile in Google sends an IdP‑initiated SAML POST to Okta.
Okta validates the assertion and creates a session for the user.
Okta → Power Pages
After the user session is established in Okta, Okta should immediately send the user to Microsoft Power Pages using either OpenID Connect or SAML in an SP initiated way.
From the user point of view, it should feel like: Google dashboard → Power Pages (already logged in), without the user having to click another app in Okta.
Key question:
Is it possible to configure Okta so that, after receiving an IdP initiated SAML assertion from Google, it automatically triggers the SP initiated flow to Power Pages (OIDC or SAML) without extra user interaction?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
