Troubleshooting Tips

  1. Sobol Account: You MUST have a Sobol account and have access to Sobol in order to set up SSO. If for any reason you do not have the following, please contact support@sobol.io.

  2. Org ID: Configuring SAML requires the use of your tenant’s ORG_ID. To obtain one, take note at the URL when using your instance of Sobol: https://sobol.io/d/org/[ORG_ID].

  3. SAML Endpoint: All SAML endpoints for your tenant are housed under the following URL scheme: https://sobol.io/d/saml/v2/callback?orgId=[ORG_ID]

  4. Username format: all users mapped across Sobol and Okta use their email to uniquely identify them.

  5. SP Initiated Logout: we currently do not have support for logging out via SAML.

  6. Just-In-Time Provisioning: as we support the SCIM specifications, we do not have a need for Just-In-Time provisioning. Please contact support@sobol.io for information about SCIM.

  7. Supported Sign-in Flows: In Sobol we support the following flows:

  • Identity Provider (IdP) Initiated

  • Service Provider (SP) Initiated (full support coming soon)
