Update host foreign vitals IdP guide + related tweaks (#35229)
Fixes #32072.

Biggest changes are in the foreign vitals IdP (SCIM) guide:

* Moved Android from "coming soon" to live (true as of 4.75)
* Moved Okta-specific troubleshooting under the Okta section
* Moved "Other IdPs" into its own top level section instead of partway
through the Google section (looks like the result of a bad merge)
* Added a link to the labels guide where relevant
* Various minor clarity/grammar fixes based on running through the
process end-to-end with Okta


Additionally:

* Clarity fixes on labels docs
* Noted in contributing docs the existence of the Okta Integrator Free
plan for E2E testing SSO/SCIM flows

Labels

In Fleet, you can use labels to scope software, policies, queries, and configuration profiles for specific hosts, and filter the hosts view.

Labels can be one of the following types:

  • Dynamic: A query-based label applied to any host that returns a result for the labels query.

If you want to change the query or platform on a dynamic label, you must delete the existing label and create a new one.

  • Manual: A manually assigned label used to filter selected hosts.
  • Host vitals: A Fleet-generated label applied to hosts that match a specific host vital (currently IdP group and department on macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android).

If you want to change the target of a host vitals label, you must delete the existing label and create a new one.

To add or edit a label in Fleet, select the avatar on the right side of the top navigation and select Labels.

You can also manage labels via Fleet's API or best practice GitOps.
