How to implement Single Sign On with Tyk and Okta

The blog post by Jennifer Craig outlines the process of implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) using Tyk's OpenID Connect (OIDC) integration with Okta, aimed at simplifying user authentication across systems. SSO allows users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials, with Okta serving as the Identity Provider (IdP) to manage user identities centrally. The article details the necessary steps to set up SSO with Tyk's Dashboard using the Tyk Identity Broker (TIB), an open-source project designed to interface Tyk authentication with third-party IdPs like Okta. It provides an overview of setting up TIB, configuring profiles for SSO, and verifying the integration while highlighting the benefits of leveraging such an architecture for enhanced security and user management. Additionally, it touches on the importance of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for added security and addresses common pitfalls during the setup process, concluding with a promise of future guides on securing APIs using Tyk and Okta.
