Before you begin
Before you can enable SAML single logout for Okta, make sure you’ve completed the following steps:
Connect to your Atlassian organization with an Okta identity provider
Configure SAML for users to authenticate with single sign-on
Single logout is only available for the Okta identity provider
Atlassian supports app-initiated single logout only for the Okta identity provider.
What is app-initiated single logout?
App-initiated single logout means that when a user logs out of an Atlassian app, such as Jira, they are also logged out of your Okta identity provider in a single action. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your Atlassian organization’s data.
Enable app-initiated single logout
Once you’ve connected your Okta identity provider to Atlassian and configured SAML for single sign-on, you can enable app-initiated single logout.
To enable app-initiated single logout:
Go to admin.atlassian.com and select your organization if you have more than one.
Select Security > Identity providers.
Select your Okta directory.
Select Authentication > View authentication configuration.
Under Single logout, select Enable.
Download the signature certificate and upload it to Okta.
Copy the logout URL from your Okta identity provider and paste it into the logout URL field.
Edit app-initiated single logout
You may need to update your single logout URL to maintain a secure connection.

Refresh public certificate for app-initiated single logout

Select Security > Identity providers.
Select your Okta directory.
