Provisioning with Okta
Provisioning with Okta saves time when setting up new users and teams, and helps you manage access privileges through the user lifecycle. miniOrange can create, read, and update user accounts for new or existing users, remove accounts for deactivated users, and synchronize attributes across multiple user stores via Okta.
Follow the steps given below to configure provisioning with miniOrange.
Connect with External Source of Users
miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, Azure AD, OpenLDAP, Google, AWS Cognito etc), Identity Providers (like Shibboleth, Ping, Okta, OneLogin, KeyCloak), Databases (like MySQL, Maria DB, PostgreSQL) and many more.
Follow the step-by-step guide given below for Okta
1. Configure SCIM Client for Okta in miniOrange
- Login to miniOrange dashboard.
- Go to Apps section
- Go to Apps > Add Application button.
- Select Provisioning >> SCIM Client (source).
- Add the Custom Application Name
- Copy the Scim Base URL and Bearer Token and save it for further configuration.
- Configure the attributes mappings and toggle on/off Enable Provisioning Features based on your requirements.
- SCIM base URL and Bearer Token can also be retrieved later by editing the app.
- If the provisioning feature “Delete the Deactivated users” is enabled then the unassigned/deleted users in source will be deprovisioned otherwise they will be disabled.
- Save the app.
