How to Integrate Okta SSO with ProProfs Knowledge Base via SAML 2.0

Okta integration with ProProfs Knowledge Base allows users to authenticate to one or more Knowledge Base accounts and access specific roles using single sign-on (SSO) with Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML).

With the help of this integration, users manage accounts and roles assigned to them. The Okta & ProProfs Knowledge Base SAML integration currently supports the IdP-initiated SSO.

Mid-sized companies with up to 1000 employees and the computer industry can extract total value through Okta SSO. The integration will save employees time in remembering passwords for accessing different apps.

Here's an example of a secure login to ProProfs Knowledge Base using Okta SSO:
