65rbr (65rbr) asked a question.
We have a use case where we are moving users from on-premise Active Directory into Azure AD. We still need these users to have Okta accounts created based on their Azure AD profile. Is this currently possible? If so, please point to the documentation.

Okta can provision users into Azure AD:
https://www.okta.com/partners/microsoft/azure-active-directory/
If you are looking to use AzureAD as the source of truth, AzureAD Premium P2 has an AD interface in which you can run Okta's AD Agent. Short of that, we can import users and groups from Office 365, which uses Azure AD on the backend. The downside to the latter approach is that you may not get all of the attributes you need, and we do not treat it as a profile master.
You could also use the Okta AD Agent to bring them in Okta (I’m assuming you’ve already done this), then use an o365 provisioning app to push them in AzureAD. Once you’ve done that you can “Disconnect” the On-Prem Directory Integration and User. This will force the user to migrate their password from AD to Okta and will result in Okta mastered users and you’ll be able to manage any AzureAD attribute from Okta.
When you get get rid of AD you will be forced to migrate the password somewhere, either way so you won’t be able to avoid this breaking change. Yes there are ways to sync the actual password over to either Okta or AzureAD but there’s additional layers of complexity there.
@Justin,
The URL you provide does not have any instructions on how to accomplish this. Is there a step-by-step guide to set this up?
I have browsed through your entire documentation page and I haven't found anything that would help me integrate Azure with Okta.
The integration between Azure and Okta is currently considered a custom solution, so there is no public-facing documentation at this time. If you need end-to-end assistance, a Technical Consultant would be the best resource to ensure a smooth implementation. Not a requirement, but always a good option if necessary.
We are looking to replace the AD On-Premise integration with Azure AD integration similar to what Justin has described; we do not want to move to Okta Managed accounts for these users.
Is there any plan to make this customization a GA feature?
