A simple user journey that simply works.

The sequence diagram

How everything comes together to authenticate.

What the user sees

App users don’t care what IDP you authenticate with — they care that it works. Use Identity Orchestration to deliver smooth consistency.

  • Familiar login. Users head to the same screen and start the app authentication flow.
  • Invisible redirection. Behind the scenes, Maverics evaluates the app policy in the config and directs the user to Okta.
  • Quick authentication. The user enters their Okta details, gets authenticated, and logs in. Everything in the app looks the same as before.

What the admin does

Switching to a modern IDP stopped being optional when support started crumbling. Use Identity Orchestration to modernize for good. 

  • Prepare your work surface. Define the upstream application, and the port Maverics will use to communicate with the app. 
  • Set the rules. Define the basic policy that enforces authentication to Okta and define how Maverics will provide context to the upstream application.
  • Configure. Using the declarative YAML-based config file, set Maverics up as an authentication gateway and give it the right permissions to direct users correctly.
