    I stated using the PowerShell Modules that Okta had but quickly got to needing to do things not included in their module. I just started to write my own code because it was easy enough and I could do anything I wanted to do.

    Here is powershell code that does what the Okta example does (this is ran on PowerShell version 4 so if you are on lower versions you may get errors about the headers.

     

    $baseUri = "https://YOURSUBDOMAIN.okta.com/api/v1"

    $token = "APITOKENHERE"

    $headers = @{"Accept"="application/json"; "Content-Type"="application/json"; "Authorization"="SSWS ${token}"}

     

    $body = @{}

    $body['profile'] = @{}

    $body.profile['firstName'] = "Isaac"

    $body.profile['lastName'] = "Brock"

    $body.profile['email'] = "isaac.brock@example.com"

    $body.profile['login'] = "isaac.brock@example.com"

    $body.profile['mobilePhone'] = "555-415-1337"

    $body['credentials'] = @{}

    $body.credentials['provider'] = @{}

    $body.credentials.provider['type'] = "FEDERATION"

    $body.credentials.provider['name'] = "FEDERATION"

     

    "Request body: "

    ConvertTo-Json $body -Depth 100

     

    $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Headers $headers -Method Post -Uri ($baseUri + "/users?provider=true") -Body (ConvertTo-Json $body -Depth 100)

     

    "Response: "

    ConvertTo-Json $response -Depth 100
