Keycloak: How to auto redirect Keycloak user to OK

Question

I have followed the guide https://ultimatesecurity.pro/post/okta-saml/ , to configure OKTA Saml with keycloak. After this configuration, I see Okta/saml login button on login page, clicking on which, the user is redirected to Okta login/SSO.

Now, is there a way to avoid clicking on this button everytime such that when the keycloak login page appears, user is auto redirected to Okta SSO automatically instead of shown keycloak login form with okta redirect button?

If not, is it possible to enter okta username password within the keycloak form fields and keycloak have it validated internally from Okta?

This requirement is because the customer is using only Okta as IDP and does not have any other like LDAP etc and clicking on a button seems overhead.

Answer 1

The solution is pretty simple.

1. Go to Realm -> Configure -> Authentication

2. Go to Flows -> Browser-> Identity Provider Redirecter -> Actions -> Config

3. Enter the saml / okta identity provider name that you have created for your realm

(as you can see in my case it was saml-okta-41)
