Sync usernames and passwords from legacy Java application to Okta
Hello, we have a legacy customer facing web based application where the usernames and passwords are stored in a database. I'm looking at ways to copy or sync these usernames and passwords to Okta on an hourly basis similar to what the AD to Okta integration does.
I did read about the CSV directory option using Okta's on-premise provisioning agent but I couldn't see the option under the directory tab in my developer environment. I would need to sync the passwords too but I believe that wouldn't work if I use CSV.
Are there any other options available to sync these users and their passwords?
Hi Max,
Liviu with Okta support here. In order to sync up the usernames and passwords of users stocked in a database, you will need to create a SCIM server, in which you can either choose between SCIM 1.1 and 2.0.
After the SCIM server has been created and fully configured as per the following documentation:
SCIM 1.1: https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Provisioning/opp/OPP-manage.htm
SCIM 2.0: https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/build-provisioning-integration/prepare-api/
The SCIM application won't be available under the Directory > Directory Integrations, but rather under Applications.
Best regards,
Liviu Voicu
Thank you, Liviu. I will try SCIM.
