Okta

Okta is a cloud-based identity and access management platform that provides single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and user lifecycle management across your applications and infrastructure.

Cygna Auditor for Okta enables you to collect and audit events from your Okta tenant, giving you visibility into user authentication activity, administrative changes, and policy modifications.

Start Collecting Data

  1. Click to add a new Okta configuration.

  2. Complete the auditing configuration:

    OPTION

    DESCRIPTION

    The General step
    Enable this collector Select the toggle to turn on data collection. You can disable data polling at any time without deleting a collector.
    Name Add a name to distinguish this Okta collector from others. This name is used internally in Cygna Auditor.
    Description (Optional) Add any further details about the current configuration.

    The Tenant step
    Okta Tenant URL

    Enter the URL of your Okta organization, for example https://yourcompany.okta.com. To find this value, sign in to the Okta Admin Console — the domain shown in your browser's address bar is your tenant URL.
    API Token

    Enter a valid Okta API token. To create one, sign in to the Okta Admin Console, go to Security > API > Tokens, and click Create Token. Copy the token value immediately — it is only displayed once.

    Okta API tokens expire after 30 days of inactivity. The expiration period resets automatically with each API call, so active collectors will not require token renewal.

    Note: API tokens inherit the privileges of the Okta account that created them. Cygna recommends creating a dedicated Okta service account with the minimum required administrator privileges and using that account to generate the token.
    Verify connection Click to confirm that Cygna Auditor can reach your Okta tenant using the URL and API token provided before proceeding.

    The Database Selection step
    Database Connections Search for an existing database connection by typing at least 3 characters of its name, or click the magnifying glass to list all available Okta database connections. Select the connection you wish to use for event storage.
    Create Connection Click to launch the database connection wizard and create a new Okta database connection. Use this option if your DBA has not already set one up for you.

    The Collection Schedule step
    Add a new schedule Click to configure a new collection schedule. You can create multiple schedules if needed.
    Enable scheduled job Switch the toggle to "On" to activate the schedule.
    Name Specify a name for the schedule.
