LDAP agent Okta as the master.
I'm working with the Okta LDAP agent on a project. What I want to do is to make Okta the source of truth for our LDAP users. Okta will hold all of the profile information and then that information will be synced to my on prem LDAP server.
The workflow with the agent seems to be centered around pushing from LDAP into Okta and not Okta into LDAP. Basically, I just want LDAP to mirror what's in Okta. We'd use Okta for account creation and management. LDAP is just there for devices like switches and Linux boxes.
Is this type of flow even possible with the LDAP agent, or should we be looking at the Okta LDAP directory instead?
Good day and thank you for reaching out to our help center,
There is a feature that allows Okta to master profiles over LDAP. However to have it enabled you will need to contact support to log a case with us and request said feature. You can do so calling this number: 1-800-219-0964.
The feature you will need to have enabled is 'Allow LDAP as a service'. You'll need your Okta tenant details for the support staff for them to better aid you in getting this feature enabled.
Thank you again for contacting Okta
