Create a Bookmark App integration
If you have an external application that you want to add to the Okta End-User Dashboard, but it doesn't have an existing integration or support any of the federated authentication protocols such as OIDC or SAML, you can create a simple Bookmark App integration.
A Bookmark App integration contains a description and a link to a specific URL, usually the sign-in location for an external application. No password information is stored or shared with the external application. The end user must manually sign in to the external application using a username and password known only to them.
You can customize the Bookmark App integration to display the logo of the external app.
The Bookmark App integration doesn't support provisioning.
