# Okta SAML SSO
Okta SAML SSO lets workspace members sign in to ElevenLabs through an Okta SAML 2.0 app integration.
:::callout{intent="info"}
SSO is available for Enterprise workspaces. Only Workspace admins can configure SSO settings.
:::
:::callout{intent="warning"}
ElevenLabs supports Service Provider (SP) initiated SAML SSO. To start sign-in, use `https://elevenlabs.io/app/sign-in?use_sso=true`. You can add `email=user@example.com` as a query parameter to prefill the email field.
:::
## Prerequisites
- An Enterprise ElevenLabs workspace.
- Workspace admin access in ElevenLabs.
- Admin access in Okta.
- A verified email domain in ElevenLabs for the users who will sign in through Okta.
## Set up Okta SAML SSO
::::steps
:::step{title="Open SSO settings in ElevenLabs"}
Go to **Workspace settings** > **Security & SSO**.
:::
:::step{title="Select SAML as the SSO provider"}
In **SSO Provider**, select **SAML**. Copy the **Service Provider Entity Id** and **Redirect URL** values. You will use these values in Okta.
:::
:::step{title="Create an Okta app integration"}
In the Okta Admin Console, go to **Applications** > **Applications**, then click **Create App Integration**.
Select **SAML 2.0**, then click **Next**.
:::
:::step{title="Add the app name"}
In **General Settings**, set **App name** to `ElevenLabs`, then click **Next**.
:::
:::step{title="Configure SAML settings in Okta"}
In **SAML Settings**, configure the app with the values from ElevenLabs:
- Set **Single sign-on URL** to the ElevenLabs **Redirect URL**.
- Select **Use this for Recipient URL and Destination URL**.
- Set **Audience URI (SP Entity ID)** to the ElevenLabs **Service Provider Entity Id**.
- Set **Name ID format** to **EmailAddress**.
- Set **Application username** to **Email**.
:::
:::step{title="Assign users or groups"}
Open the Okta app’s **Assignments** tab and assign the users or groups that should be able to sign in to ElevenLabs.
:::
:::step{title="Add the Okta certificate to ElevenLabs"}
In Okta, open **SAML Signing Certificates** and use **Actions** > **Download certificate** for the active certificate.
Open the certificate file and copy the full PEM certificate, including `-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----` and `-----END CERTIFICATE-----`.
In ElevenLabs, click **Add Certificate**, paste the Okta certificate, then click **Add**.
:::
:::step{title="Copy Okta metadata values into ElevenLabs"}
In Okta, open the IdP metadata XML. Copy the metadata values into ElevenLabs:
- Use `entityID` for **Identity Provider Entity Id**.
- Use the `SingleSignOnService Location` URL that ends in `/sso/saml` for **Identity Provider Sign-In URL**.
:::
:::step{title="Add your allowed email domain"}
In ElevenLabs, click **Add Domain** and select the verified domain that matches the email domain of your Okta users.
:::
:::step{title="Save the SSO provider"}
Review the configuration, select **I acknowledge this change will log out users currently using SSO**, then click **Update SSO**.

## Field mappings
Use this table to map Okta SAML settings to ElevenLabs SSO fields.
| Okta field or location | ElevenLabs field | Value to use |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Sign-in method** | **SSO Provider** | `SAML` |
| **Audience URI (SP Entity ID)** | **Service Provider Entity Id** | Use the ElevenLabs value, for example `https://elevenlabs.io` |
| **Single sign-on URL** | **Redirect URL** | Use the ElevenLabs value, for example `https://elevenlabs.io/__/auth/handler` |
| **Recipient URL** | **Redirect URL** | Same as **Single sign-on URL** |
| **Destination URL** | **Redirect URL** | Same as **Single sign-on URL** |
| **SAML Issuer ID** or metadata `entityID` | **Identity Provider Entity Id** | Okta issuer, for example `http://www.okta.com/exk...` |
| **Sign On URL** or metadata `SingleSignOnService Location` | **Identity Provider Sign-In URL** | Okta SAML URL ending in `/sso/saml` |
| **X.509 Certificate** or metadata `ds:X509Certificate` | **Certificate** | Okta signing certificate in valid PEM format |
| **Application username** | No manual config required | Set to **Email** |
| **Name ID format** | No manual config required | Set to **EmailAddress** |
| User or app email domain in Okta | **Domain** | Must match a verified ElevenLabs domain, for example `company.com` |
## Troubleshooting
:::accordion{title="Okta shows a successful sign-in, but ElevenLabs says unable to sign in"}
Check the browser Network response for `accounts:signInWithIdp`. Okta System Log entries such as `User single sign on to app SUCCESS` only confirm that Okta authenticated the user. ElevenLabs can still reject the SAML response if the assertion values do not match the SSO configuration.
:::
:::accordion{title="INVALID_IDP_RESPONSE: Error when parsing certificate"}
The browser Network response may show `INVALID_IDP_RESPONSE: Error when parsing certificate`. Remove the certificate from ElevenLabs, then re-add the Okta X.509 certificate in valid PEM format. Do not use an LLM to format the certificate. Copy the certificate exactly, including `-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----` and `-----END CERTIFICATE-----`.
:::
:::accordion{title="User or authentication mismatch errors"}
Make sure Okta sends the user’s email address as `NameID`. In Okta, set **Name ID format** to **EmailAddress** and **Application username** to **Email**.
:::
:::accordion{title="Which Okta metadata values should I use?"}
Use metadata `entityID` for **Identity Provider Entity Id**, `SingleSignOnService Location` for **Identity Provider Sign-In URL**, and `ds:X509Certificate` for **Certificate**.
