This article outlines necessary changes to configure Desktop MFA with the Device Access SKU only (without the Adaptive MFA SKU).

• Okta Identity Engine (OIE)
• Okta Device Access (ODA)
• Desktop MFA for Windows

Okta Device Access (ODA) requires the device certificate to be deployed to the computer. An external Certificate Authority (CA) or Okta's CA can be used for this purpose.

Follow those steps to use the CA specifically for Okta Device Access:

1. In the Admin portal, go to Security > Device Integrations.
2. Ensure to select the Device Access tab. Do not configure Endpoint Management because the Desktop (Windows and macOS only) platform will not be available, according to this article, when the Adaptive MFA SKU is not available.
3. Click on Add SCEP configuration.
4. In the MDM, deploy a configuration profile set to Computer Level.
