Okta

Overview​

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for configuring the Okta integration with AlphaSOC. Organizations that already capture Okta system events should refer to the Collecting Data section for instructions on how to submit telemetry to AlphaSOC.

For environments without established Okta monitoring, this document outlines the process for creating an Okta API token required for data collection.

Prerequisites​

  • Okta account with read-only admin role

Create an API Token​

In the Admin Console, navigate to Security > API.

okta-dashboard

Click on the Tokens tab.

okta-api

Click on Create Token.

Enter a token name and select an option to specify where you allow connections to come from.

okta-create-token

Click Create Token.
After that, you should see a message indicating that the token was created successfully. okta-token-created

Configure Data Transport​

After obtaining the token, choose a data transport method for submitting Okta telemetry to AlphaSOC. You can either configure one of the available transports detailed in the Collecting Data section or provide AlphaSOC with the token value directly.
