OIDC based SSO for Okta

Verkada Command supports Single Sign-On (SSO) through OpenID Connect (OIDC) with Okta. This integration allows our users to seamlessly and securely authenticate using their existing Okta credentials, streamlining access to Command and enhancing overall security.

OIDC is not supported on the Pass app or Desk Station apps.

Enable Enterprise Controlled Encryption (ECE) for enhanced security.
