Create a SAML application

To set up the application, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to Okta and on the left navigation panel, click on Applications, then on Create App Integration.
2. In the newly opened pop-up, select SAML 2.0, then click on Next.

We have introduced the SSO for viewers option, which allows you to privately share the publications only with the users from your SSO system. (They will not be required to create a Flipsnack account.) In order to do this, check the Allow this app to request other SSO URLs checkbox. Once checked, enter the following link under the Requestable SSO URL field: https://auth.flipsnack.com/login/callback
5. In the Feedback section, select “I’m an Okta customer adding an internal app" and “This is an internal app that we have created", then click Finish.
