Configuring Appdome Authentication via Okta
This guide provides detailed steps and essential data required for configuring identity management services such as Okta to ensure secure authentication for corporate accounts on the Appdome platform. These services facilitate robust access management, allowing IT to control employee access to applications and devices effectively. By integrating one of these trusted cloud-based platforms, organizations can guarantee that only authorized employees can access and utilize Appdome’s comprehensive suite of mobile application security tools.
