LucidLink Single Sign-on With Okta for Identity Management Firm and Identity Access Management Providers

LucidLink announced an anticipated feature, single sign-on (SSO) with Okta, Inc., an enterprise identity and access management (IAM) provider.

The company has enabled the integration of Okta into LucidLink Filespaces, facilitating enterprise administrators who want to quickly and securely authenticate numerous users with just one set of credentials. With SSO, administrators and root users can create the company’s application within Okta and assign and manage users and groups to the application. Azure AD support will be added on the heels of Okta, which will provide coverage for the bulk of the firm‘s customer base.

“We are proud to announce this feature in direct response to our customers’ requests. The pandemic triggered rapid end-user adoption to the point where leveraging one of the leading authentication providers, Okta, was the only thing that made sense,” said Peter Thompson, co-founder and CEO, LucidLink. “This integration allows our enterprise customers to manage thousands of users, vastly simplifying deployments, and reducing administrative overhead.“

A SSO solution is beneficial for organizations with numerous employees, partners, and customers needing access to corporate systems, both onsite and remotely, while maintaining the highest security levels.

Addition to SSO, released pinning feature
pinning feature allows users to pin files and folders, drawing them into and persisting them in the local cache. Implemented for macOS, Windows, and Linux, it is beneficial when you need to make sure the data is on a local disk without relying on flaky Internet connections or suffer from latency and throughput problems.

Users can pin a file or folder to the local cache, with the ‘source-of-truth’ remaining in the cloud storage. Any changes made to the file or folder by anyone will get updated in the local cache wherever clients pin the file or folder on their local machines. Only the changed blocks are updated in the cache and not the entire file.

With single sign-on and pinning, the company continues to address customers’ needs to create seamless workflows enabling remote access to files from anywhere.
