## Unleash Configuration {#unleash-setup}

### Step 1: Navigate to Provisioning configuration {#unleash-setup-step-1}

First you'll need to log in to Unleash as an admin user. Navigate to the Single Sign-On section and select the "SCIM" tab. The SCIM API URL will be shown in this section, you'll need this to configure Okta later.

## Okta Configuration {#okta-setup}

### Step 1: Create an Application in Okta {#okta-setup-step-1}

:::info Note

If you already have SAML SSO configured for Unleash in Okta you can skip to the [next step](how-to-setup-provisioning-with-okta#okta-setup-step-2). If you're planning on using [SAML for Unleash](../how-to/how-to-add-sso-saml), do that first and skip to the next step. Note that if you're using OIDC SSO in Okta you still need to do this step.

This step will create an empty Sign-On Application that will only be used for SCIM.

:::

**1) Navigate to "Admin -> Applications" and click the "Create App Integration" button.**

If you already have a SAML application setup for Unleash you'll be modifying that application in this step.

This is provided by the Unleash UI in the [configuring Unleash](how-to-setup-provisioning-with-okta#unleash-setup-step-1) section.

**2) Set email as the unique identifier**

**3) Configure actions**

Turn on "Push New Users", "Push Groups" and "Push Profile Updates".

**4) Set authentication mode to "HTTP Header"**

### Step 5: Configure Provisioning Properties {#okta-setup-step-5}

**1) Set email**

Set the email field to map to your login property. This is important and ensures that your SSO integration continues to work.

**2) Remove unneeded properties**

You should remove all unnecessary properties. This ensures that Okta will reach a steady state when synchronizing. The properties that you must retain are:

- Username
- Given name
- Family name
- Email
- Primary email type
- Display name
