Okta SSO for Docker

To enable security for the Docker deployment, follow the next steps:

1. Create an .env file

Create an openmetadata_okta.env file and use the following example as a reference. Replace the placeholder values with the details generated during your Okta account and application credentials setup. Check the more information about environment variable here.
# Implicit Flow
AUTHORIZER_CLASS_NAME=org.openmetadata.service.security.DefaultAuthorizer
AUTHORIZER_REQUEST_FILTER=org.openmetadata.service.security.JwtFilter
AUTHORIZER_ADMIN_PRINCIPALS=[admin]                 # john.doe from [email protected]
AUTHORIZER_PRINCIPAL_DOMAIN=open-metadata.org       # Update with your Domain,The primary domain for the organization (example.com from [email protected]).
AUTHENTICATION_PROVIDER=okta

2. Start Docker

docker compose --env-file ~/openmetadata_okta.env up -d

Configure Ingestion

Once your server security is set, it’s time to review the ingestion configuration. Our bots support JWT tokens to authenticate to the server when sending requests. Find more information on Enabling JWT Tokens and JWT Troubleshooting to ensure seamless authentication.
