A fitness coach with a single certification can train general clients. Stack a few more, and suddenly corporate wellness programs and premium clients are on the table. The credentials are what get you in the room.

The same is true for B2B SaaS. If you build on Auth0 and your enterprise customers or prospects use Okta, each identity integration you enable is a credential that qualifies you for a new tier of buyers. The more you stack, the more opportunities open up.

Where Enterprise Buyers Evaluate Your App

Enterprise organizations use Okta to manage workforce identity, controlling which employees access which apps, automating onboarding and offboarding, and enforcing security policies. With 17,000+ customers, including two thirds of the Fortune 100, there's a good chance your current and prospective buyers are already running Okta.

The Okta Integration Network (OIN) is where those buyers go to validate that the apps they’re evaluating support interoperable identity security. Think of it as the directory where clients go to find certified coaches. It's a catalogue of 8,000+ apps where IT admins can verify your identity capabilities and deploy your app without a custom project. When your app is listed, Okta's sales and customer success teams can also recommend your app directly.

If your app runs on Auth0, you already have the capabilities to earn these credentials. Here's what each one unlocks.

Step 1: Remove the Friction from Customer Deployment

OpenID Connect (OIDC) is the best protocol to facilitate SSO and authorization for your service, enabling enterprise users to authenticate into your app with their existing Okta credentials. Out of the box, Auth0 brokers this flow via OIDC and Okta Enterprise Connections. When your Auth0-powered SaaS is published to the OIN as an OIDC integration, you unlock the ability to deploy customers at scale through an exclusive Auth0 feature: Express Configuration (EC). EC automates the entire integration setup process, letting your customers configure their identity integrations in five clicks, down from over 25. No copying credentials, no pasting secrets, no support tickets when configuration fails.

As a client, getting started with your fitness coach right off the bat means you see results that much quicker. Fewer clicks means fewer errors, faster time-to-value, and happier admins. When two SaaS products are side by side in an evaluation, lowering the cost of SaaS ownership can tip the decision.

Step 2: Protect Customer Data Against Identity Threats Like Session-Hijack

Universal Logout (ULO) lets Okta instantly end user sessions in your app when it detects a security event like a compromised account, a terminated employee, or a policy violation. Auth0 supports this natively through Global Token Revocation and OIDC back-channel logout. Without it, your team may be fielding urgent requests from customers asking you to manually revoke sessions, which doesn't scale and leaves gaps between when access should end and when it actually does.

This is your CPR and First Aid certification. Every serious gym requires it because when something goes wrong mid-session, you need to act immediately. According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025, identity-based attacks can take an average of 241 days to detect and contain. ULO helps close that gap by terminating sessions the moment a threat is identified. More enterprise RFPs are listing ULO as a requirement. Supporting it keeps you eligible for buyers with strict security mandates.

Step 3: Eliminate Manual User Onboarding and Offboarding

System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) helps automate how users are granted and revoked access across the enterprise. New employee joins via Okta? They get access automatically. Someone leaves? They lose access automatically. If your team currently handles onboarding requests through manual processes, CSV uploads, or custom API work for each customer, SCIM replaces all of that with a standard protocol that scales. Auth0 supports Self-Service Provisioning, so your customers' IT admins can configure it themselves without filing a support ticket.

Think of it this way: a coach managing ten clients can track schedules and progress manually. A coach managing hundreds needs a system that automatically enrolls new clients and removes those who cancel. That's what SCIM does for IT teams, and the scale is real. According to Okta's Businesses at Work 2025 report, the average number of apps per customer hit 101. At that scale, enterprise IT teams don’t have the capacity to manually manage access for every app in their environment. SCIM puts you into their automated identity lifecycle. If you’re not supporting it, your app may not make the cut.

Win Business with Enterprise Ready Identity via Auth0 and the OIN

Enterprise buyers evaluate your product against a checklist, and identity is increasingly on it. Each integration you publish to the OIN checks a box that a specific segment of buyers requires before they can move forward. OIDC paired with Express Configuration makes your app the easiest option to deploy. Universal Logout shows you take security as seriously as they do. SCIM proves you can scale with their workforce.

At the same time, these integrations reduce the operational load on your own team by replacing manual processes, custom implementations, and one-off support requests with standardized protocols that work the same way for every customer.

You already have the capabilities in your Auth0 stack to build these credentials. The question isn't whether these integrations add value. It's how quickly you start.

Get Started

Start building with Auth0's documentation to unlock new tiers of buyers:

Once your integration(s) are built, publish them to the Okta Integration Network to get listed in front of Okta's 17,000+ customers.
