SaaS Management: Okta Connector

JumpCloud® SaaS Management gives you visibility and control over shadow IT and SaaS app use within your org. Connectors detect shadow IT without adoption of a browser extension and provide a significant increase to the valuable usage and security insights.

The Okta connector retrieves users lists and data from the Okta API.  It captures new users and login events via periodic polling for real-time updates. This connector also ensures data integrity and security because it is configured via OAuth with read-only permissions.

Prerequisites

• To configure the connector, you must have access to Okta Admin Console.

Considerations

• Based on your organization’s size, the initial collection of data may take some time, up to an hour.
