Culture Amp SSO Login Not Working
Quick answer
SAML sign-in must start at the Culture Amp login URL; IdP tiles fail. Also check region subdomain, Entity ID and certificate expiry.
Most likely fix: Start from the Culture Amp login page
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Start from the Culture Amp login page
- Go to https://<subdomain>.cultureamp.com/saml/<subdomain>
- In Okta, use a Bookmark App pointing to that URL

- Add .eu or .au after the subdomain if hosted there
- Compare Entity ID in IdP and Culture Amp
Did this fix it?3. Renew certificates
- Update certificates at least two weeks before expiry
Did this fix it?4. Assign users in the IdP
- Assign the app to the user or group, then retry
Did this fix it?5. Use temporary password login
- SSO-only accounts get temporary password login as a lockout safeguard
