# Okta SSO for Docker

To enable security for the Docker deployment, follow the next steps:

## 1. Create an .env file

Create an `openmetadata_okta.env` file and use the following example as a reference. Replace the placeholder values with the details generated during your Okta account and application credentials setup.

Check the more information about environment variable [here](/v1.13.x/deployment/security/configuration-parameters).

    ```

## 2. Start Docker

```commandline theme={null}
docker compose --env-file ~/openmetadata_okta.env up -d
```

## Configure Ingestion

Once your server security is set, it's time to review the ingestion configuration. Our bots support JWT tokens
to authenticate to the server when sending requests.

Find more information on [**Enabling JWT Tokens**](/deployment/security/enable-jwt-tokens) and [**JWT Troubleshooting**](/deployment/security/jwt-troubleshooting) to ensure seamless authentication.
