Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

We have implemented Okta integration into our SonarQube Enterprise instance. Logging into SonarQube via Okta works fine when selected from the SonarQube login page. However, if I want to login from my Okta dashboard via Okta tile, the authentication fails in SonarQube with

You are not authorized to access this page. Please contact the administrator.

When I read SonarQube documentation, you explicitly ask to select Do not display application icon to users.

Should logging in from Okta dashboard/tile work and if it should, why are we asked to disable it?

Thank you.

Hi,

This is working as expected. Login needs to be initiated from SonarQube.

@nardew out of curiousity, what URL are you sent to when you try to login via the Okta dashboard?

I ask because I double checked our internal IdP and the URL we use is https://<SonarQube_URL>/sessions/init/saml?return_to=/

And to my surprise, the login works, which is not what I thought was the case.

Hi, we tried to change to yours but does not work either. Nevermind, we want to use the officially recommended approach anyway and if SonarQube does not support Okta tile, then it does not (I find it unusual nevertheless).

Thanks both.
