DualShield consoles such as the DualShield Admin Console (DAC), DualShield Service Console (DSC) etc are SAML Service Providers (SP). By default, those SPs are secured by the DualShield's own SAML IdP, i.e. the DualShield SSO.
In rare cases, some customers might wish to secure a DualShueld Console with a third-party IdP. This is achievable and relatively easy to configure in DualShield. The general idea is that you would add the third-party IdP as an external Identity Provider in DualShield, then configure the DualShield console to use the third-party IdP as its SAML IdP for authentication.
In this article, as an example. we will OKTA as the third-party IdP for the DualShield Service Console (DSC).
OKTA Configuration
To configure OKTA as an IdP for DualShield Service Console is basicaly the same as configuring OKTA as an IdP for any other SAML applications.
In OKTA, create a SAML application, e.g. dualShield6-dsc
Configure its SAML Settings
