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.

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	Produces
POST	/auth/okta/config	204 (empty body)

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.
