Single Sign-on With Okta for WordPress.com (Business) Sites

    Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to enable SSO with Okta as IDP provider with WordPress.com (Business Plan) site. Our organization currently uses Okta as our Identify provider and it will be great if team could login with SSO to the wordpress.com site to create/manage the site rather than creating individual wordpress.com accounts themselves.

    Hi @muralisrms,
    I found the following which I think is what you are looking for:
    https://plugins.miniorange.com/saml-single-sign-on-sso-wordpress-using-okta

    With the WordPress.com business sites, you can install custom plugins. So I am sure if there exists a plugin for what you are looking, you can surely have that functionality in your WordPress.com site with a business plan.

    Just to make sure that I am not missing out on any important thing that you need to know in this regard I am tagging this post for WordPress.com’s Staff attention.

    They will get back to you here with more details on this.

    Best,

    Thanks Sunil.

    @uralisrms, sign on plugins can be a little tricky depending on the type of server, but I tried searching for any known issues with Okta and didn’t find any.

    I’d recommend getting the plan and trying that out before you add other customizations and plugins. If it doesn’t work, you can get a refund:
