Okta

Prerequisites

  • Okta Administrator Account with API token generation privileges.

Note

Tokens are valid only if the user who created them is active. Tokens issued by deactivated users are rejected. To avoid service interruptions, generate API tokens using a service account that won't be deactivated and that has super admin permissions that won't change.

Obtaining your Okta URL domain and API token

  1. Sign in to your Okta organization.
  2. Click Admin to open the Admin Console.
  3. Find your Okta URL domain. a. In the upper-right corner of the Okta admin console, click on your user name. A panel with your user name and Okta domain appears.
  4. Create an API token.

Important

API tokens have the same permissions as the user who creates them. If the user permissions change, the API token permissions also change.

a. In the Okta admin console, go to Security → API → Tokens.
b. Click Create Token. c. Specify a name for the token and click Create Token.
d. Copy the token value.

Tip

Once you close the Create token dialog, the authentication token is no longer available to view or copy.
