General SSO Office 365 Authentication Issues
After rolling out Office 365 and federating with Okta its seems to be very unstable as far as holding peoples sessions (mainly to OWA) Wondering if anyone has any advice. I do not remember having the...
That looks like the type of issue you have to address with Okta support.
The default O365 session timeouts are listed here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/session-timeouts-for-office-365-37a5c116-5b07-4f70-8333-5b86fd2c3c40
Some of these can be modified on the customer side (i.e. the OWA timeout), but they are all dependent on the identity provider (Okta in your case).
I guess where Im confused is that its kicking people out then redirecting back to Okta. We have around 15 other apps in Okta that all use the same setting and have 0 issues. I had office 365 on the classic sign in experience SSOed through Okta for a while and also did not have any issues what-so-ever.
If you mean that the issue started occurring after they introduced the new sign-in page, I agree, that's most likely something on O365's side. Kelvin Xia might be able to help with that. Or better yet, open a support case.
It would be best to open a support case for this as it isn't clear that it's directly related to the new sign-in experience.
