Using Okta AD Connector with AWS Simple AD
Curious if anyone is using the Okta AD connector to provision users to AWS Simple AD without passing through an AWS AD connector? I'm considering a scenario of not using MS AD in the environment.

3tvcl (3tvcl)This would be truely awesome. We would use it to help deploy Amazon Workspaces. Have you tried it yet?Expand Post- Chris Dodds (Customer)I can confirm the connector worked for me when I tested yesterday. I haven't tried anything advanced yet (multiple UPNs, etc), just spun up an instance, installed the agent, and pushed some test users. I'm still trying to decide if this path is going to work, but it's mostly around Samba4 limitations. I'm also not sure if it would be possible to automate the AD agent install & web auth as part of a server bootstrap.Expand Post
3tvcl (3tvcl)I did some setup with this tonight, I think it may work in our use cases if I can figured out how to have okta users created in Simple AD. If it were a different okta app I could consider this provisioning. Sending in a support ticket. Let me know if you make any progress on your side.Expand Post- Chris Dodds (Customer)You just need to spin up an instance that's joined to SimpleAD and install the Okta AD agent on it. Use directory provisioning instead of app provisioning. Works fine.Expand Post
3tvcl (3tvcl)UI wise is that showing up for you in the Directires area.Expand Post- Chris Dodds (Customer)Yup. Shows up the same as an on-prem directory.Expand Post
3tvcl (3tvcl)Chirs, I must be missing something. How do I tell Okta to create the user (from okta info) in the directory via the AD Agent?Expand Post- Chris Dodds (Customer)Create an Okta group, assign the group to the directory, assign users to the group. If you want the actual security group to appear in the directory as well you configure Push Groups in the directory settings.Expand Post
