Can Active Directory Users and Universal Directory Users Co-Exists?

Is it possible to have both on-premise Active Directory integration with users being provided from AD and have other users in Okta UD that are not in the AD?

 

Both sets of users will be accessing the same applications. The users in UD will use Okta Groups not AD ones, while the Users from AD will use Groups managed in our On-Premise AD (and integrated with Okta).

 

Why? We have two distinct groups of users some are internal staff members we want to manage in AD on-premise, and rest (majority) are external temporary staff we do not want to manage on-premise and would prefer to use Okta UD to manage.

 

If we can not do this could someone provide a link to documentation that clearly indicates this is not possible. Currently the assumption is that this is feasible we have not seen any mention that it is not.

  • Thanks Gavin. We're in a very locked down environment so doing any basic testing of ideas like this is not possible.

     

    It would take me many months writing detailed business cases and attending lots of meetings to even get close to being able to maybe deploy a simple on-premise AD for proof-of-concept test. And most likely rejected along the way as this would be considered too much time and effort for POC :-|
