# 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](/deployment/security/configuration-parameters).
