Overview

This article clarifies the possible values for a boolean attribute in an Okta profile and explains what undefined means in this context.

Applies To
  • User Lifecycle Management (LCM)
  • Universal Directory (UD)
  • User profile
Solution

A boolean attribute in Okta can have three possible values:

  • true
  • false
  • undefined

The default value for a boolean attribute is undefined.

The undefined value is the initial setting for the attribute before it is mapped or modified. Undefined is equivalent to the attribute's value being set to blank (like an empty string) or null.

This value is useful in situations where explicitly setting the attribute to true or false would be incorrect.
