SAML SSO - OKTA

SAML SSO can be enabled by Admins by selecting the default Single Sign-on provider for their account as "SAML".

Talkdesk supports the integration with OKTA as a SAML SSO provider. This document details the configuration steps required to configure the communication between these two services.
