Whats the best way to integrate Okta with Active Directory running in MS Azure?
Is there a guide which help to implement Okta with Active Directory running in MS Azure?

 

I found the link to  "Extend Active Directory & LDAP to the Cloud" at https://support.okta.com/help/articles/Knowledge_Article/Office365-Deployment-Guide#Deploy365Okta

but the link does not work.

  • Hey Alex,

     

    Good question. Actually, where the Active Directory infrastructure is deployed matters very little to Okta. To integrate AD you deploy an AD Agent on any windows domain-joined server (in this case, you'd probably want to spin up a new Windows server in Azure). The agent communicates with Okta outbound over port 443 only, so noe firewall changes should be needed.

     

    Sorry about the dead linl - please check out the configuration guide (http://https://support.okta.com/help/articles/Knowledge_Article/28774118-Installing-and-Configuring-the-Active-Directory-Agent) for more information.

    Thank you for your answer. Do you think Okta agent for AD will be available as a virtual machine through MS Azure store?

    Hi, this is Jessica, and we have clients who also are interested in integrating with Azure AD. Do you have any updates to Alex's question or best practices concerning integrating with Azure AD that differ from your general AD best practices of installing the AD agent on more than one machine?

     

    Thanks,

    Are there any plans of support Azure Active Directory Domain Services instead of just running Domain Controllers in an Azure tenancy?
