Don’t know if it’s the right place but after pulling some hairs, I managed to get a working setup  
with Okta as IdP, SAML2 (using python3-saml) and a python web app. I made a short guide that will be useful for those of us that are trying to implement access from corporate portals that are controlled by their company.

Let me know if I’ve managed to help you:
