Summary

This comprehensive guide outlines the step-by-step process of integrating Okta with Couchbase Server using SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) authentication. To start, users need an Okta Developer account and access to Couchbase Server as a Full Admin or External User Security Admin. The guide covers configuring Okta as the Identity Provider (IdP), setting up Couchbase Server as a Service Provider (SP), mapping user attributes between Okta and Couchbase server, and assigning users to the application. It emphasizes the importance of understanding SAML fundamentals and debugging techniques before diving into the configuration steps. By following this guide, users can establish a secure and seamless authentication flow, allowing users to log in and log out of Couchbase Server UI using SAML. The setup enables Single Sign-On (SSO) and Single Logout (SLO), streamlining the authentication process while maintaining data integrity.
