Office 365, OKTA and ActiveSync
We have configured OKTA with Office 365. Everything works with MFA but ActiveSync.

 

How can we allow ActiveSync traffic ? We need to MFA all external access to Office 365 except Exchange ActiveSync

 

Can OKTA do ADFS Claims like MS: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh526961(v=ws.10).aspx ?

 


  • Hey Edvin,

     

    Okta does have the ability to exempt ActiveSync clients from MFA, but it's not on by default. You have to ask support to enable this feature for you.

     

    Note that this is not on by default because this provides an avenue to circumvent MFA. Some desktop mail clients (like Apple Mail) leverage ActiveSync as well, so it's not just mobile clients. 

     

    If you understand the risk, please ask support to enable this functionality for your Okta org.

     

    Thanks,

    Eric, is this a GA feature?  I thought I asked about this a while back and was told it was "in progress".
