OKTA
Note: To enable this feature, you must have administrative privileges in your Okta account. We
recommend using a dedicated service account that uses only the “Group” role as that role contains
only the permissions that Openpath requires to synchronize your users and groups.
1. Under Integrations > Identity Providers, click Get Started on the Okta integration.
2. Enter your API URL. This should be the Okta domain for your organization, prefixed with
https://
, for example,
https://yourcompanyname.okta.com
.
3. Enter an API Key. First you’ll need to generate an Okta API Key (Token) associated with the
Okta service account you have created for this integration. Ideally you should create a
dedicated API Key to be used only with the Openpath integration, so that you have control over
the lifecycle of this integration.
Note: Once you save the API Key, Openpath does not use or otherwise expose the API Key
anywhere except when using it to call Okta to synchronize users and groups.
4. Configure the following settings:
a. Auto-sync every 1 hour – this will sync Openpath with Okta once every hour.
b. Auto-create mobile credential – this will create a mobile credential for every user.
c. Auto-create cloud key credential – this will create a cloud key credential for every
user.
d. Auto-assign to group – this option will be grayed out until you save the API
credentials. After saving, return to the settings page to use this feature. This option lets
you assign Okta groups to groups you’ve created in Openpath.
