Note

SSO is only available for accounts on the Premium Plan at this time.

Get the Wistia app in the Okta Integration Network

Wistia has an official integration with Okta which is available here in the Okta Integration Network. This makes the configuration process very easy within Okta.

After configuring the app in Okta, collect the IdP metadata URL and send it to Wistia:

  • Under the “SAML Signing Certificates” heading, locate the active “SHA-2” certificate.

  • Click the “Actions” dropdown and choose “View IdP Metadata.”

  • Copy the metadata URL from the browser tab that opens and paste it in the SSO section of your Wistia account settings.

Create a Custom SAML application in Okta (optional)

Note

This manual setup process is entirely optional, and we recommend the official Wistia integration with Okta instead.

If needed, it is possible to manually configure a custom SAML application with the following steps:

  1. Within your Okta Organization, click “Applications,” then “Create App Integration.”

  2. Choose “SAML” and click “Next.”

  3. Name the app Wistia. For the logo, you can use this file.

  4. Check the “Do not display application icon to users” checkbox. Click “Next.”

Enter the following values in the “(A) SAML Settings” section:

  • Click “Next.”

  • Choose the “I’m an Okta customer adding an internal app” option and click “Finish.”

Lastly, collect the metadata URL to finish setting up SSO in your Wistia account:

  • Under the “SAML Signing Certificates” heading, locate the active “SHA-2” certificate.

  • Click the “Actions” dropdown and choose “View IdP Metadata.”

  • Copy the metadata URL from the browser tab that opens and paste it in the SSO section of your Wistia account settings.
