We’re looking to integrate Discourse with Okta, preferably with SAML. I didn’t see Discourse listed on the supported app list. Do you support Discourse? Is there any information you can provide to help facilitate the integration.

Thanks

Since this forum IS Discourse, and Okta is using it, I would think that’d they would have figured out the integration or have it added as a preconfigured app.  
Anything?

There is this post on discourse:

> **[Help with Okta SSO](https://meta.discourse.org/t/help-with-okta-sso/31953)**
>
> Has anyone got their Discourse instance working with Okta SSO? I see the settings in Discourse and Okta don’t see to match.

I notified the Apps team at Okta to know this is requested.

Thanks,  
Tom

Any more info on this? Is Okta being used to authenticate to this forum?
