# Okta Auth Method (API)

This is the API documentation for the Vault Okta auth method. For
general information about the usage and operation of the Okta method, please
see the [Vault Okta method documentation](/docs/auth/okta.html).

This documentation assumes the Okta method is mounted at the `/auth/okta`
path in Vault. Since it is possible to enable auth methods at any location,
please update your API calls accordingly.

## Create Configuration

Configures the connection parameters for Okta. This path honors the
distinction between the `create` and `update` capabilities inside ACL policies.

| Method   | Path                         |
| :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST`   | `/auth/okta/config`          |

### Parameters

- `org_name` `(string: <required>)` - Name of the organization to be used in the
  Okta API.
- `api_token` `(string: "")` - Okta API token. This is required to query Okta
  for user group membership. If this is not supplied only locally configured
  groups will be enabled.
- `base_url` `(string: "")` -  If set, will be used as the base domain
  for API requests.  Examples are okta.com, oktapreview.com, and okta-emea.com.
- `ttl` `(string: "")` - Duration after which authentication will be expired.
- `max_ttl` `(string: "")` - Maximum duration after which authentication will
  be expired.
- `bypass_okta_mfa` `(bool: false)` - Whether to bypass an Okta MFA request.
  Useful if using one of Vault's built-in MFA mechanisms, but this will also
  cause certain other statuses to be ignored, such as `PASSWORD_EXPIRED`.
