Does Okta support SLO when used as a Service Provider (SP) in an inbound federation scenario?
We are using Okta in an inbound federation scenario where it is configured as a Service Provider (SP) that communicates via SAML with an external IdP. The setup is configured using the Okta Identity Provider configuration screen. We have had a great deal of success with this configuration for login scenarios. When the user navigates to our application Okta communicates via SAML with the third party IdP. The IdP displays a login screen, authenticates the user, and sends the SAML response to complete the login. Logout has been a problem in this configuration. When users logout of our OIDC application we logout of Okta but we cannot figure out how to initiate a single logout (SLO) to the third party IdP. As a result the user is not prompted for credentials the next time they navigate to our application. The Okta Identity Provider screen does not have any way to configure a SLO URL that I can find. Is SLO supported in this configuration? If so, how do I configure my Okta SP to make it work?
