What is Okta?

Okta is a security tool that provides sign-on and authentication services for LHC Group applications and services like VPN, Outlook Web Access, and Citrix. It will help to manage logins, simplify the sign-on process, and make our systems more secure. This will be the only way to access many of these applications and services going forward. You will need to register yourself in Okta to ensure you can access and login to the IT services you use.

Start H​​​​​​​ere

Login at https://sso.lhcgroup.com. For the Username, enter the same username you use to access your computer or VPN and press “Next”.

On the password screen, enter the password that you use for your computer or VPN and press “Next”.

The first time that you login successfully, you will see the options to “Set up multifactor authentication”. Now you will be able to setup Okta Verify or Voice Call Authentication.

You can choose to activate one or both options.

  • Okta Verify – You will sign-on in the future by responding to a push notification sent to the mobile app on your device.
  • Voice Call Authentication – You will use a phone to authenticate by following voice instructions each time.

Note – If you are unable to use the Okta Verify App on your phone or tablet, of if you choose not to, proceed to the Voice Call instruction.

Get Okta Verify

The quickest way to confirm your identity is with the Okta Verify app. Using the Okta Verify app on your device, you will be prompted to enter either a security code or accept a notification when you are attempting to access LHC Group critical applications. This is a security measure known as multi-factor authentication (MFA).
