Okta + Nectar Single Sign-On

Enable secure, seamless access to Nectar with Okta single sign-on authentication.

With Okta + Nectar, employees log in using their existing corporate credentials while IT maintains centralized identity management and security control.

Overview

The Okta + Nectar Single Sign-On integration allows organizations to authenticate users through Okta, simplifying login while strengthening security and compliance.

This integration is ideal for:

• IT teams managing identity through Okta
• Enterprise organizations standardizing SaaS access
• Companies enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA)
• Teams looking to reduce password fatigue and access-related support tickets

By enabling SSO with Okta, companies provide employees with frictionless access to Nectar while maintaining centralized governance and visibility over authentication policies.

How It Works

Nectar integrates with Okta using standard identity protocols to securely authenticate users.

What data syncs

Okta SSO focuses on authentication and identity verification rather than full HR data sync.

Common identity attributes include:

• Work email address
• Display name
• Unique user identifier (NameID)
• Group assignment (if applicable)

Authentication method

The integration typically supports:

• SAML 2.0 single sign-on
• (If applicable) OpenID Connect (OIDC)

Login behavior

• Employees select “Log in with SSO” on Nectar
• Authentication is redirected to Okta
• Okta verifies identity and returns a secure authentication assertion
• Access can be controlled via Okta user and group assignments

Where users interact

Employees log in through Nectar’s SSO option. IT admins configure Nectar as an application within the Okta Admin Console and manage user/group access centrally.

Key Features & Benefits
