Okta Integration for SaaS Discovery

Set up an integration with Okta to streamline the discovery of your SaaS applications.

Suggest Edits

Overview

Okta provides cloud software that helps companies manage and secure user authentication into applications, and for developers to build identity controls into applications, website web services, and devices.

Okta is a valuable source for discovery as it provides not only the ability to discover services and users but also to discover employee and department data.

Tip

If you plan to manually review every link for discovered applications, before configuring the integration, deactivate automatic linking in the discovery inbox settings. For details, see Automatic Linking.

Implementation Details

SAP LeanIX uses the Okta SDK for Go version 2 to interact with Okta's Core API. This SDK allows us to manage various Okta resources, such as users, groups, and applications. To learn more about Okta SDK, see Okta SDK Golang.

API reference: The SDK leverages endpoints provided by Okta's Core API. You can find detailed information about these endpoints, including request and response formats, in their documentation Okta Core API.

Rate limits: To ensure smooth operation and avoid disruptions, be mindful of the rate limits imposed by Okta's API. The specific rate limits for different operations are detailed in their documentation Okta API Rate Limits.

Listing Applications: A common use case is listing all applications within an Okta organization. You can find the relevant endpoint for this operation in their documentation Applications API.

To cross-check the discovered services, go to the Okta Administrator console and select Applications under the Applications section on the left-side pane.
