I have a general question about implementing OKTA in ignition. What I wanted to know is that once it is implemented will a user be required to login every time they open a new perspective session for a different project. Based on all the research I am doing that seems to be the case but am hoping to know for sure. We want the users to only have to login once, then when launching other perspective projects not be prompted to login to each project. I should mention these projects and sessions will be all on the same gateway ---

I have multiple projects pointing to a single Identity Provider. Once you log in (and prompted for credentials) for one project and if you open another project within your IdP's token expiration time, then it will simply load the project without prompting for credentials. I don't use OKTA specifically, but I image it wouldn't be different than any other IdP. Uncheck the first box to use Single Sign-On. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/0/c0bfa049f13afa9e1b660450dcc53d0a27779cf4.png) tooltip for the second checkbox ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/7/778b5cb013f49a4b3a257c18d18d86e7c741249b.png) ---

Thanks for the reply. I have one question though, where is that second setting you are showing in the screenshot, I can't see to find it. I see the one below under General Security settings. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/9/399cfc040f9a4852a715126445587da2e93ebf88.png) ---

It's under the Project Properties in the Designer. The screenshot you provided is for the Gateway's access...not for each individual project. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/7/37da0174fba32eaea9d74c8b19dff187d0483f54.png) ---

Hi @Kathleen_Anderson, I'm trying to do the same, did you be able to login with Okta OAuth?, without using user and password. ---

Hi Ramiro, we actually never implemented it and abandon the whole project for implementing okta.
