End-User Flow on Desktops

Once the administrator completes the above configurations, user can access O365 domain through browser from Windows/MAC OS X Desktops. Follow the below steps to enable Secure Single Sign-On browser-based access to O365 Cloud Service.

1.Launch Pulse Client and establish a VPN session with PCS.

2.Open any web browser on the desktop.

3.Access SSO enabled O365 domain.

•If user has an existing VPN session, ‘Re-use existing Pulse Session’ will kick in and the PCS will send SAML response to Okta.

•If user did not establish Pulse VPN session as mentioned in Step 1, then the user will be redirected to Okta which in turn redirects the request to Pulse Connect Secure user login page or user will be prompted to select user certificate for authentication depending on the PCS configuration. Once authenticated, PCS will send SAML response to Okta.

4.Okta forwards the SAML response to O365 and user will be granted access to O365 Cloud Service.
