How to Configure SAML 2.0 for Security Journey (formerly HackEDU)


Read this before you enable SAML

Enabling SAML affects all users who use this application, which means that users can't sign-in through their regular sign-in page. They can only access the app through the Okta service.

Backup URL

Security Journey (formerly HackEDU) doesn't provide a backup sign-in URL where users can sign-in using their normal username and password. You can call Support (support@hackedu.com) to turn off SAML, if necessary.

Configuration Steps

  1. Log in to Security Journey (formerly HackEDU).

  2. Go to Admin > Settings, scroll down to Single sign-on (SSO), then follow the steps below:

    • Domains: Make a copy of your domain value (for example: acme.com).

    • Metadata URL:

      • Click Edit.

      • URL: Copy and paste the following:

        Sign in to the Okta Admin app to have this variable generated for you

    • Click Continue.

    • Toggle Enable SSO Integration.

  3. Done!

Notes

SP-initiated SSO

  1. Go to: https://app.hackedu.com/login

  2. Enter your email, then click Continue.


Simulating an IDP-initiated Flow

  1. Since the application only supports an SP-initiated flow, you can simulate an IdP-initiated flow with the Bookmark sign-on method. In Okta add another Security Journey (formerly HackEDU) app and follow the steps below:

    • SIGN ON METHODS: Select Bookmark-only.
    • Domain: Enter your Domain value you copied in step 2 above (the format is acme.com)
    • Click Done.

  2. Now you can hide the original app on the end user dashboard. Go to the General tab in Okta and check Do not display application icon to users.
