The Vudoo Single Sign On (SSO) integration uses an OpenID Connect identity layer to securely connect to your Okta instance. This connection is made by setting up a custom Vudoo Connect App in your Okta instance, letting you assign selected users through a group. This way, selected users can easily log into the Vudoo platform with one click.

This document will step you through setting up the Vudoo Connect App as a once-off setup, as well as how to add users to the Vudoo app when needed!
