How Adaptive works with Okta

Integrating Okta enables Okta as an identity provider for resource access via Adaptive, allowing you to use your existing Okta authentication to manage how users access resources.

Use Okta with Adaptive to give employees, contractors and infrastructure operators a governed workflow for Adaptive-managed infrastructure and applications. Instead of relying on separate Adaptive passwords and unmanaged local identities, teams get identity-aware controls and a connected record for review.

Adaptive uses the corporate identity from your provider to authenticate users and attribute subsequent resource requests and sessions.

Every request is evaluated against access policies evaluated against the signed-in corporate identity. Teams can then use evidence covering authenticated access requests and infrastructure sessions without piecing together identity, approval and resource records from separate systems.

What Adaptive adds to Okta

Consistent access policy
