Hi Jarad
Thanks for sharing your issue the Community.
Regarding you first question, you should be able to integrate your Active Directory with an Okta LDAP Agent via AD LDS.
Please check following Okta KBA: https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Directory/ldap-adlds.htm
About your second question, as with AD Agent deployment for LDAP is recommended as well to deploy at least 2 nodes to get redundancy.
Please check following Okta whitepaper:
https://www.okta.com/resources/whitepaper/ad-architecture/
Look at Simple-to-Use Delegated Authentication section.
Please let me know if this information is fine for you.
Best regards.

Just a clarifying question, I had been told that the LDAP agent had to be installed on the Active Directory server. That did not make sense to me. The machine the LDAP agent is installed on just needs to be able to talk to the Active Directory server and what OS the LDAP agent is installed on does not matter, correct?
Correct, the machine the agent is installed on needs to be able to reach the LDAP host and port (default 389). See the deployment guide.
@JaradD.23099 (CDK) Regarding the LDAP Agent OS topic, does not matter if it is Windows or Linux. Check the Install the Okta LDAP Agent KBA for further information.

@User15851122134349081871 (North Central-Enterprise) The link provided is not working (404) at least for me.
I'll check that, it should be viewable; in any case, it only confirms what Jarad was asking, that the agent only needs to be on a server that can reach the LDAP server.
Hi Tim, I'm not able to access the "deployment guide" link that you provided. I'm also getting "404". thanks
