Password synchronization makes sure a user’s Active DirectoryActive Directory (AD) is a directory service that Microsoft developed for the Windows domain networks. It is included in most Windows Server operating systems as a set of processes and services. Initially, Active Directory was only in charge of centralized domain management. (AD) password and their Okta password are the same. With password synchronization, a user's Okta password is pushed to their AD profile during initial Okta set up, Okta log on, or whenever the user's Okta password changes. Passwords are also synchronized from AD to Okta.

Important: Okta SCIM management of 8x8 Configuration Manager users requires that those users be created in Okta, first, and then synced to Configuration Manager. In this case, any existing users created from 8x8 Configuration Manager must first be deleted, and then recreated from Okta. Note that Okta SSO login will work for Configuration Manager users regardless of where the user.

Here are some things to consider when implementing password synchronization:

SCIM stands for 'System for Cross-domain Identity Management' and is open API for managing identities is now complete and published under the IETF. Whether you centrally manage employee onboarding & offboarding in Okta, OneLogin. Okta’s SCIM implementation is currently in Beta status and provides no guarantees for backwards-compatibility. Okta is free to break this SCIM implementation until it is released. Thank you for your interest in the Okta SCIM beta. By implementing support for the SCIM standard, an application in. With Okta SCIM, Admins can automate their entire user's lifecycle in Dialpad—from creating accounts to profile updates to even account deletion. In this article, we'll dive into Okta SCIM and show you step-by-step instructions on how to set up automatic provisioning.

• Failed password synchronization events appear in the task list on the Tasks page.
• It is not possible to synchronize passwords from one AD domainA domain is an attribute of an Okta organization. Okta uses a fully-qualified domain name, meaning it always includes the top-level domain (.com, .eu, etc.), but does not include the protocol (https). and also push passwords to a different AD domain from a single OktaorgThe Okta container that represents a real-world organization.. For example, pulling users from multiple departmental or subsidiary ADs and pushing them to a central or application-specific AD.
• Depending on your org, you can find the Sync Password setting in one of the following locations:
  • If your org has an AD integration:

• You do not need the password synchronization agentA software agent is a lightweight program that runs as a service outside of Okta. It is typically installed behind a firewall and allows Okta to tunnel communication between an on-premises service and Okta's cloud service. Okta employs several agent types: Active Directory, LDAP, RADIUS, RSA, Active Directory Password Sync, and IWA. For example, users can install multiple Active Directory agents to ensure that the integration is robust and highly available across geographic locations. if your environment meets these criteria. User passwords are synchronized when they sign on using the Okta Sign-In Widget.

  • No Desktop SSOAn acronym for single sign-on. In a SSO system, a user logs in once to the system and can access multiple systems without being prompted to sign in for each one. Okta is a cloud-based SSO platform that allows users to enter one name and password to access multiple applications. Users can access all of their web applications, both behind the firewall and in the cloud, with a single sign in. Okta provides a seamless experience across PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. is deployed, users see the forms-based sign-in each time they sign in.
  • No apps are connected to Okta that are using password synchronization or push.
  • Users are trained to access the /sign in/default endpoint after changing their password to ensure Okta captures the new password.

Note

If an Okta user is pushed to AD after they have activated their Okta account, the AD user object is in a 'User must change password at next logon' state. In this scenario, the user must first log onto Okta in order for the password to be pushed from Okta to AD.

Sync AD passwords to provisioning-enabled apps

This feature pushes users' AD password to provisioning-enabled SWA apps during initial Okta set up and/or whenever users' AD password changes. It requires the Okta AD Password Sync Agent. The agent automatically pushes users' AD passwords from your Domain Controllers to the Okta service. Passwords are synced from your Domain Controller to Okta whenever a user's password is changed. The agent must be installed on all Domain Controllers and Delegated Authentication must be enabled on your Okta organization.

Requirements

• The org must be AD-mastered.
• The Active Directory Agent must be installed and configured in each domain in your forest.
• The Active Directory Password Sync Agent must be installed and configured on all domain controllers in each domain in your forest.
• Delegated Authentication must be enabled.
• Okta username format must be either UPN or SAM Account Name.

Procedure

1. Install and configure the Active Directory Agent on at least one domain controller in each domain in your forest. For details, see Install and configure the Okta Active Directory (AD) agent.

Important: The first time end usersIn Okta literature, we generally refer to 'end users' as the people who have their own Okta home page (My Applications), using apps to authenticate into all of their apps. End users do not have any administrative control. When we refer to 'users' we are generally referring to the individual(s) who have administrative control. try to access the app after the adminAn abbreviation of administrator. This is the individual(s) who have access to the Okta Administrator Dashboard. They control the provisioning and deprovisioning of end users, the assigning of apps, the resetting of passwords, and the overall end user experience. Only administrators have the Administration button on the upper right side of the My Applications page. performs this procedure, they must do so via the chiclet on their Okta dashboard in order to complete the syncing operation. Trying to access the app in any other way in the first post-procedure instance may fail.
