Attribute Value
Connector ID OktaSSO
Publisher Okta
Used in Solutions Okta Single Sign-On
Collection Method Azure Function
Connector Definition Files Connector_REST_API_FunctionApp_Okta.json
Ingestion API HTTP Data Collector API — Connector definition requires workspace key (SharedKey pattern)
Custom Log V1 Tables Yes 🔶 — ingests into tables with type-suffixed columns

The Okta Single Sign-On (SSO) (using Azure Function) connector provides the capability to ingest audit and event logs from the Okta API into Microsoft Sentinel. The connector provides visibility into these log types in Microsoft Sentinel to view dashboards, create custom alerts, and to improve monitoring and investigation capabilities.

Tables Ingested

This connector ingests data into the following tables:

Table Transformations Ingestion API Lake-Only
Okta_CL 🔶 ? ✓ ?

💡 Tip: Tables with Ingestion API support allow data ingestion via the Azure Monitor Data Collector API, which also enables custom transformations during ingestion.

Permissions

Resource Provider Permissions: - Workspace (Workspace): read and write permissions on the workspace are required. - Keys (Workspace): read permissions to shared keys for the workspace are required. See the documentation to learn more about workspace keys.

Custom Permissions: - Microsoft.Web/sites permissions: Read and write permissions to Azure Functions to create a Function App is required. See the documentation to learn more about Azure Functions. - Okta API Token: An Okta API Token is required. See the documentation to learn more about the Okta System Log API.

Setup Instructions

⚠️ Note: These instructions were automatically generated from the connector's user interface definition file using AI and may not be fully accurate. Please verify all configuration steps in the Microsoft Sentinel portal.

NOTE: This connector uses Azure Functions to connect to Okta SSO to pull its logs into Microsoft Sentinel. This might result in additional data ingestion costs. Check the Azure Functions pricing page for details.

NOTE: This connector has been updated, if you have previously deployed an earlier version, and want to update, please delete the existing Okta Azure Function before redeploying this version.

(Optional Step) Securely store workspace and API authorization key(s) or token(s) in Azure Key Vault. Azure Key Vault provides a secure mechanism to store and retrieve key values. Follow these instructions to use Azure Key Vault with an Azure Function App.

STEP 1 - Configuration steps for the Okta SSO API

Follow these instructions to create an API Token.

Note - For more information on the rate limit restrictions enforced by Okta, please refer to the documentation.

STEP 2 - Choose ONE from the following two deployment options to deploy the connector and the associated Azure Function

IMPORTANT: Before deploying the Okta SSO connector, have the Workspace ID and Workspace Primary Key (can be copied from the following), as well as the Okta SSO API Authorization Token, readily available. - Workspace ID: WorkspaceId Note: The value above is dynamically provided when these instructions are presented within Microsoft Sentinel. - Primary Key: PrimaryKey Note: The value above is dynamically provided when these instructions are presented within Microsoft Sentinel.

Option 1 - Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Template

This method provides an automated deployment of the Okta SSO connector using an ARM Tempate.

  1. Click the Deploy to Azure button below.

    Deploy To Azure Deploy to Azure Gov 2. Select the preferred Subscription, Resource Group and Location. 3. Enter the Workspace ID, Workspace Key, API Token and URI. - Use the following schema for the uri value: https://<OktaDomain>/api/v1/logs?since= Replace <OktaDomain> with your domain. Click here for further details on how to identify your Okta domain namespace. There is no need to add a time value to the URI, the Function App will dynamically append the inital start time of logs to UTC 0:00 for the current UTC date as time value to the URI in the proper format. - Note: If using Azure Key Vault secrets for any of the values above, use the@Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri={Security Identifier})schema in place of the string values. Refer to Key Vault references documentation for further details. 4. Mark the checkbox labeled I agree to the terms and conditions stated above. 5. Click Purchase to deploy.

Option 2 - Manual Deployment of Azure Functions

Use the following step-by-step instructions to deploy the Okta SSO connector manually with Azure Functions (Deployment via Visual Studio Code). Step 1 - Deploy a Function App

1. Download the [Azure Function App](https://aka.ms/sentineloktaazurefunctioncodev2) file. Extract archive to your local development computer.
  1. Follow the function app manual deployment instructions to deploy the Azure Functions app using VSCode.

  2. After successful deployment of the function app, follow next steps for configuring it.

    Step 2 - Configure the Function App

    1. Go to Azure Portal for the Function App configuration.
    2. In the Function App, select the Function App Name and select Configuration.
    3. In the Application settings tab, select + New application setting.
    4. Add each of the following five (5) application settings individually, with their respective string values (case-sensitive): apiToken workspaceID workspaceKey uri logAnalyticsUri (optional) - Use the following schema for the uri value: https://<OktaDomain>/api/v1/logs?since= Replace <OktaDomain> with your domain. Click here for further details on how to identify your Okta domain namespace. There is no need to add a time value to the URI, the Function App will dynamically append the inital start time of logs to UTC 0:00 for the current UTC date as time value to the URI in the proper format. - Note: If using Azure Key Vault secrets for any of the values above, use the@Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri={Security Identifier})schema in place of the string values. Refer to Key Vault references documentation for further details. - Use logAnalyticsUri to override the log analytics API endpoint for dedicated cloud. For example, for public cloud, leave the value empty; for Azure GovUS cloud environment, specify the value in the following format: https://.ods.opinsights.azure.us.
    5. Once all application settings have been entered, click Save.
