Enabling SAML will affect all users who use this application, which means that users will not be able to sign-in through their regular log-in page. They will only be able to access the app through the Okta service.
Backup URL
PerimeterX does not provide a backup log-in URL where users can sign-in using their normal username and password. You can contact PerimeterX support (support@perimeterx.com) to turn off SAML, if necessary.

Click Save Changes:
Navigate to Admin > Users and invite a new user. When accepting the invitation you will only see SSO option.
Important: PerimeterX does not have a backdoor flow, so the first user should re-invite himself (i.e delete the user and then invite in the Users view) in order to access the PerimeterX using SAML authentication.
Done!
Make sure that you entered the correct value in the Base URL field under the General application tab in Okta. Using the wrong value will prevent you from authenticating via SAML to PerimeterX.
The following SAML attributes are supported:
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| firstName | user.firstName |
| lastName | user.lastName |
