Last Updated:
Overview
In an Okta Org2Org configuration, users typically access the Spoke tenant dashboard, select the Org2Org icon, and navigate to the Hub dashboard to access assigned applications. Creating a Bookmark application in the Spoke organization allows users to bypass the Hub dashboard and launch the Hub application directly.

How is a Bookmark application configured to access Hub applications from a Spoke organization?
Create a Bookmark application in the Spoke organization using the Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL and the Hub application embedded link.
- Sign in to the Hub organization Admin Console.
- Navigate to Applications > Applications and select the target application.
- Select the General tab and copy the App Embed Link.
- Locate the Org2Org Identity Provider (IdP) settings in the Hub organization and copy the IdP Single Sign On URL.
- Sign in to the Spoke organization Admin Console.
- Navigate to Applications > Applications.
- Select Add Application and add the Bookmark App.
- Enter a descriptive name for the application.
- Enter the IdP Single Sign On URL into the URL field.
- Append
?RelayState=to the end of the URL value. - Append the App Embed Link copied from the Hub organization to the end of the
?RelayState=value.- The final URL format appears as follows:
<IdPSingleSignOnURL>?RelayState=<AppEmbeddedLink>- Example:
http://<sourceorg>.okta.com/app/okta_org2org/<idp_id>/sso/saml?RelayState=http://<huborg>.okta.com/home/google/<app_id>/26 - Select Save.
