--- id: sso-open-id-connect title: How to add SSO with OpenId Connect --- > The **Single-Sign-On capability** is only available for customers on the Enterprise subscription. Check out the [Unleash plans](https://www.getunleash.io/plans) for details. ## Introduction {#introduction} In this guide we will do a deep dive on the Single-Sign-On (SSO) using the OpenID Connect protocol and connect it with Okta as IdP. Unleash supports other identity providers and protocols, have a look at [all available Single-Sign-On options](./sso.md) ## Basic configuration ### Step 1: Sign-in to Unleash {#step-1} In order to configure SSO you will need to log in to the Unleash instance with a user that have "Admin" role. If you are self-hosting Unleash then a default user will be automatically created the first time you start Unleash: - username: `admin` - password: `unleash4all` ### Step 2: Navigate to SSO configuration {#step-2} Unleash enterprise supports multiple authentication providers, and we provide in depth guides for each of them. To find them navigate to "Admin" => "Single-Sign-On" section.  ### Step 3: Okta with OpenID Connect {#step3} Open a new tab/window in your browser and sign in to your Okta account. We will need to create a new Application which will hold the settings we need for Unleash. **a) Create new Okta application** Navigate to “Admin/Applications” and click the “Add Apps” button.  Then click “Create Application” and choose a new “OIDC - OpenID Connect” application, and choose application type "Web Application" and click create.  **b) Configure Application Integration** Give you application a name. And set the Sign-in redirect URI to: `https://[region].app.unleash-hosted.com/[instanceName]/auth/oidc/callback` (In a self-hosted scenario the URL must match your `UNLEASH_URL` configuration) You can also configure the optional Sign-out redirect URIs: `https://[region].app.unleash-hosted.com/[instanceName]/`  Save your new application and your will ge the required details you need to configure the Unleash side of things:  **c) Configure OpenID Connect provider in Unleash** Navigate to Unleash and insert the details (Discover URL, Client Id and Client Secret) in to Unleash. > Pleas note that the `Discover URL` must be a valid URL and must include the `https://` prefix. For example: **https://dev-example-okta.com** is a valid discovery URL. You may also choose to “Auto-create users”. This will make Unleash automatically create new users on the fly the first time they sign-in to Unleash with the given SSO provider (JIT). If you decide to automatically create users in Unleash you must also provide a list of valid email domains. You must also decide which global Unleash role they will be assigned (Editor role will be the default).  ### Step 4: Verify {#step-4} Logout of Unleash and sign back in again. You should now be presented with the "Sign in with OpenID Connect" option. Click the button and follow the sign-in flow. If all goes well you should be successfully signed in to Unleash. (If something is not working you can still sign-in with username and password).  Success!
