Problem

Organizations using Okta for Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality with Veritas Alta Archiving could be re-directed to the Login Gateway for any Veritas Alta Archiving web pages such as Personal Archive (PA), Veritas Alta eDiscovery, or the Admin Console, as shown below:

 

Error Message

No particular error will appear, but the verified SSO session should allow users access without signing in through the Veritas Alta Archiving login gateway. 

Cause

This is typically due to a digital signature being excluded from the Okta SAML response to the Veritas Alta Archiving authentication servers.

Solution

Ensure the following fields are set accordingly in the Okta administration console, under settings for the Veritas Alta Archiving application:

Response - Unsigned

Assertion Signature - Signed

Signature Algorithm - RSA_SHA256

Digest Algorithm - SHA256

Note:  All SSO providers must provide signatures in responses to SAML requests by Veritas Alta Archiving, or those requests would fail.  This particular article focuses on the proper implementation of signatures in those responses with Okta.
