How to Use Multiple User Accounts with an ASA or OPA Client
Advanced Server Access
Privileged Access
Okta Classic Engine
Okta Identity Engine
Overview

This article covers steps to enroll an Advanced Server Access (ASA) or Okta Privileged Access (OPA) client using an additional user account (for example, a standard and an admin account).  It assumes enrollment into a team with one account.

Applies To
  • Advanced Server Access (ASA)
  • Okta Privileged Access (OPA)
Solution

The primary difficulty with enrolling a second account comes from being logged in already with the existing account.

  1. Log out of the ASA or OPA UI and the Okta org.
    • NOTE: If either session is still valid, ASA/OPA will automatically use that logged-in account rather than the second one to be enrolled.
  2. Run sft enroll --team <team-name> --force to enroll with the second account.
    • Note:  If redirected to the ASA/OPA Client Setup page, the account is not fully logged out of the ASA/OPA team or Okta org.
  3. At the Okta sign-on page, authenticate using the second account that needs to be enrolled.
  4. At the ASA/OPA "Client Setup" page, click Approve.
    • NOTE: It may be necessary to customize the Client Name to indicate the username with which it is associated.
  5. On the CMD prompt, run sft list-teams, and the two different accounts should be displayed similar to the following:
    % sft list-teams
    USERNAME        TEAM           URL                           ID                                      STATUS
    asauser1        asa-team1    https://app.scaleft.com/v1    12ff4c94-b200-4690-a2c1-ab79e897605c   Expired 12h38m0s ago
    asauser2        asa-team1    https://app.scaleft.com/v1    548b1ed2-add3-47fe-8c16-c7de07a9b8bc    (default) Never used
  6. To switch between accounts, run "sft use <ID>" where <ID> is the ID (uuid) of the desired username from the "sft list-teams" output.
    • NOTE: The username that has "(default)" as part of the STATUS is the account that ASA/OPA client is currently using.
