Onboard a Convo App to SSPM
Connect a Convo App instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Convo instance, you must onboard your Convo
instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Convo using
administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Convo
instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM
suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
SSPM gets access to your Convo instance by using Okta SSO credentials that you
provide during the onboarding process. For this reason, your organization must be
using Okta as an identity provider. The Okta account must be configured for
multi-factor authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.
To onboard your Convo instance, you complete the following actions:

described in the preceding table. You will need to enter these values during
