How to Integrate a Custom Attribute in an Org2Org Integration

Overview

Sometimes the need to integrate custom attributes in the Org2Org integration created for a pair of Okta orgs may arise due to certain conditions regarding data transfer from one Org to another.

This use case can be treated in 2 different ways according to the configuration present on the tenants:

  • The Org2Org link is done via a custom SAML integration in which case the attributes will have to be defined on the SAML Assertion as described in the How To Define and Configure a Custom SAML Attribute Statement article.
  • The Org2Org link is done via the OIN Org2Org integration with provisioning enabled which will be treated in this article.
Applies To
  • Org2Org
  • Universal Directory
  • Custom Attributes
Solution

After successfully configuring the Org2Org integration according to the Integrate Okta Org2Org with Okta article, there are a few more steps that need to be fulfilled in order to define a custom attribute on the Org2Org integration:

 

  1. When using SCIM, the Org2Org integration will update profiles directly on the Okta user so we need to create the attribute in the Hub (Destination) tenant:
    1. Navigate to the Admin Dashboard > Profile Editor, click on the User(default) profile.
    2. Click on the  Add Attribute button select the type of the attribute and enter the Display name, Variable name and External name for the new attribute as shown below and click on the Save button.

Add Attribute

  1. Add the attribute in the Spoke (Source) tenant's Org2Org application user schema:
    1. Navigate to the Spoke's Admin Dashboard > Profile Editor, search for the Org2Org application, and click on the name of the app.
    2. Click on the Add Attribute button. Click on the Refresh Attribute List button, select the new attribute from the list, and click Save.

Schema Attributes

  1. On the Spoke (Source) tenant map the attribute from the Okta profile to the Org2Org application:
    1. Navigate to Profile Editor and search for the Org2Org app.
    2. Click on the Mappings button.
    3. On the Okta to Org2Org tab select the desired value to be mapped from the Okta user profile to the app user profile.
