Hi
The federation broker mode feature is not available for OIN applications. However this would be really useful especially for Bookmark applications where it should eb relatively easy to enable as there is no SAML or OAuth configuration to worry about.
For us we have 350 bookmark applications which are assigned to all 75,000 plus users in Okta. Federation Broker mode would remove the requirement for the application assignment and help with user confirmations on AD Imports as it considerably lessens the load on app assignments for newly imported user accounts.

Hello Stephen,
From the documentation that I've listed below, Federation Broker is an EA feature that you have the possibility of enabling and using it in your tenant. In order for you to enable this feature, please open up a Support Ticket.

Hello,
We already have and use the federation broker mode. If you read the documentation on this feature it does not support applications from the OIN other than the SAML2 Templates.
"This mode is only available for custom SAML Wizard and OIDC apps, not for those available in the OIN."
Hence my post asking if it could be made available for the bookmark application which is a part of the OIN set of applications.
Hello Stephen,
You can suggest this on the Okta Community portal by using the 'Feedback' option at the bottom of the Okta admin console. Features suggested in our community are reviewed and can be voted and commented on by other members of the community, therefore making it much easier for the engineering team to understand the priorities that you have for feature requests.
From there, the PM team will review the top 30 most voted upon ideas each month and provide feedback/roadmap status on these via the forum. Another link that can be used is the following: https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/Submit-Product-Ideas-to-the-Okta-Community

Hello Vlad,
Yes I posted on this back in April after technical support pointed me there. Couldn't find it until now thank you.

Unfortunately this is a black hole area where Okta technical support send us when there is no answer. Now I've found the original post again (thanks) I'll bring it up with our account executive at Okta. It ties into another case we have with Okta where confirming user imports results in a timeout from Okta and 1 50% chance it did or did not import the user. That has been put down to the number of applications we have (over 900 now).
