Supported Features

The Okta connector supports the following features:

Note
Before you can use any item marked with an asterisk (*), SailPoint must activate the feature for your site. For more information on opening a support ticket, refer to Working With Support.

  • Load accounts

  • *Provision accounts

  • Unlock accounts

  • *Access Certifications (certification of entitlements connected to accounts)

  • Delta Aggregation

  • *Password management

  • Enable and disable accounts

  • Delete accounts

  • Pass-through authentication

For more information on features, refer to Identity Security Cloud Source Features.

The Okta source supports the multi-valuedfactors attribute related to the Multi-Factors attribute in the Okta managed system. The Okta source can aggregate and provision the factors attribute. Provisioning this attribute maps to the Enroll Multi-Factors operation in the Okta managed system.

Note
To aggregate the Multi-Factors data associated with an aggregated user, you must add the factors attribute to the account schema of the source and execute full aggregation one time. For more information on adding account schema attributes, refer to Adding Attributes to a Source Schema.

 

factors data is aggregated as shown in the following example:

  • Attribute Name – factors

  • Attribute Value – factorType=sms ; provider=OKTA , factorType=push ; provider=OKTA, factorType=token:software:totp ; provider=OKTA

Note
Adding the factors attribute will increase the aggregation execution time.

The Okta source supports the multiple group objects. Following are the details of features:

✔

Group Entitlements (Read, Request, Revoke)

✔ Groups, Role, Applications - (You need to add the schema object type explicitly)

Group Entitlements are entitlement types for which Identity Security Cloud provides ability to aggregate additional details of these entitlement types from the managed system. These objects have separate schema defining list of attributes that aggregation task fetches as additional details when aggregation is run for that Group Entitlement type.

groupTargetsHelpDeskAdmin (aggregates the Group Target for HELP_DESK_ADMIN role)

By default, for the Okta source supports the groupTargetsHelpDeskAdmin attribute is not a part of account schema. To add this attribute to the existing schema, refer to Adding Attributes to a Source Schema. The applications attribute is a multi-valued entitlement attribute, and it aggregates the Group Target for HELP_DESK_ADMIN role assigned to a user.

Use createSchema API to create new group schema for your source. Here is an example for API body content for adding entitlements to the source.

Applications

If the applications schema is configured, use the following parameters to fine tune the application's aggregation.

  • Filter Conditions for Applications – This is an optional condition to bring a subset of Applications during aggregation. For example, status eq "ACTIVE". Refer to the Update Source (Partial) for more information.

    Copy 
    PATCH https://{orgName}.api.identitynow.com/v3/sources/{OktaSourceID}

    [
     {
      "op": "add",
      "path": "/connectorAttributes/applicationAggFilter",
      "value": "status eq \"INACTIVE\""
     }
    ]

  • Application Page Size – Sets the maximum size of each dataset when querying a large number of applications by adding the entry key as follows:

    Copy 
    PATCH https://{orgName}.api.identitynow.com/v3/sources/{OktaSourceID}

    [
     {
      "op": "add",
      "path": "/connectorAttributes/appsPageSize",
      "value": 200
     }
    ]

    The default value is 200.

    For more information, refer to Update Source (Partial).

  • Disable Application Caching - To skip creation of application cache, set noAppCaching to true.

    Copy 
    PATCH https://{orgName}.api.identitynow.com/v3/sources/{OktaSourceID}

    [
     {
      "op": "add",
      "path": "/connectorAttributes/noAppCaching",
      "value": true
     }
    ]

    For more information, refer to Update Source (Partial).

  • Enable Application Skinny User - (Applicable only for caching the approach of account partitioning aggregation) – Enables the skinny_user endpoint to bring applications connected to user in Okta connector by adding the entry key as follows:

    Copy 
    PATCH https://{orgName}.api.identitynow.com/v3/sources/{OktaSourceID}

    [
     {
      "op": "add",
      "path": "/connectorAttributes/applicationSkinnyUsers",
      "value": true
     }
    ]

    For more information, refer to Update Source (Partial).

Caution
Adding the applications attribute and the corresponding application schema will increase the execution time for the aggregation operation.

groupTargetsHelpDeskAdmin

If the groupTargetsHelpDeskAdmin schema is configured, use the following parameters to fine tune the application's aggregation.

  • Filter conditions for groupTargetsHelpDeskAdmin – This is an optional condition to bring a subset of groupTargetsHelpDeskAdmin during aggregation. For example, type eq "BUILT_IN". For more information, refer to the Update Source (Partial).

    Copy 
    PATCH https://{orgName}.api.identitynow.com/v3/sources/{OktaSourceID}

    [
     {
      "op": "add",
      "path": "/connectorAttributes/groupTargetAggFilter",
      "value": "type eq \"BUILT_IN\" OR \"OKTA_GROUP\" "
     }
    ]

Aggregation

Caution
Enabling this feature will have a performance impact.

By default, for the Okta source the applicationsManagedByRole attribute is not a part of the account schema. To add this attribute to the existing schema, refer to Adding Attributes to a Source Schema. The applicationsManagedByRole attribute is a multi-valued entitlement attribute, and it aggregates the APP Target and APP Target Instance for APP_ADMIN assigned to a user separated by the delimeter, ###.

Provisioning

Supports add/remove of applicationsManagedByRole attribute.

Note
If APP_ADMIN role is not already assigned to the user then while assigning the APP Target and APP Instance Target, the APP_ADMIN role is assigned to user automatically.

Aggregation

Caution
Enabling this feature will have a performance impact.

By default, for the Okta source the groupTargetsHelpDeskAdminRole attribute is not a part of the account schema. To add this attribute to the existing schema, refer to Adding Attributes to a Source Schema. The groupTargetsHelpDeskAdminRole attribute is a multi-valued entitlement attribute, and it aggregates the Group Target for the HELP_DESK_ADMIN role assigned to a user.

Note
If you select string for the attribute type, then only the groupId of the Group Target for the HELP_DESK_ADMIN role assigned to a user is populated.

Provisioning

You can add or remove groupTargetsHelpDeskAdminRole attribute via provisioning.

Note
If the HELP_DESK_ADMIN role is not already assigned to a user, then it is automatically assigned while assigning the groupTargetsHelpDeskAdminRole.

The Okta source supports aggregation of custom roles directly associated with both accounts and groups in the following format:

RoleName#ResourceSetName

In order to leverage this functionality, you need to add these attributes into the account and group schemas:

  • Attribute Name – customRoles

  • Property Type – string

  • Select the Entitlement, Multivalued checkboxes.

The Okta source also supports the addition and removal of Custom Roles from the user.

The Okta connector supports the aggregation and provisioning of custom attributes belonging to User Profile. In order to leverage this functionality, user needs to add these attributes into the account:

  • Attribute Name - customAttribute

  • Type - string

Note
Custom attributes can have multiple values. Custom Attribute is also supported for account aggregation.

The Okta source supports the aggregation of Standard roles associated with Groups.

In order to leverage this functionality, you need to add these attributes into the group schema:

  • Attribute Name – roles

  • Property Type – string

  • Select the Entitlement and Multivalued checkboxes.

Enabling a User Account also activates a user in Okta. Disabling a User Account will either suspend or deprovision a user in Okta depending on your provisioning configuration. For more information on configuration, refer to Provisioning Settings.

Account Update is supported for the suspended/deprovisioned account while performing the Enable operation.

Activity Insights

Activity Insights supports activity from Okta and its associated accounts. This allows you to gather account information and activity data from Okta.

Important
Contact your SailPoint Customer Success Manager (CSM) for more information on Activity Insights. For more information on configuring Activity Insights, refer to Activity Insights Settings.

Ensure the Okta source has necessary scopes to utilize the Activity Insights. Refer to Required Permissions for the requested scopes for Activity Insights from Okta.
