Okta IdP with Dropbox

My OPSWAT Central Management can be easily integrated with an existing Okta Dropbox integration to ensure that a device is compliant with the organization's security policy before it is granted access to Dropbox. This ensures that the device is not only authenticated by the IdP, but also tested for risks and vulnerabilities such as infections or unpatched versions of operating systems, BEFORE it access an organization's cloud services.

To get started with implementing My OPSWAT Central Management integration to enforce device posture check before granting a device to access Dropbox with Okta Single Sign On (SSO) service, you set up SSO between Okta and Dropbox manually as below steps even you already have SSO set up for Dropbox on Okta. The built-in Dropbox application doesn't allow you to modify a LoginURL of Dropbox.
