I'm having an issue making Okta Advanced Server Access work in Red Hat 8. From what I can tell the startup sequence from SFTD appears to be the same as RHEL7, but I don't see any interaction activity in the SSH logs or the SFTD logs upon an attempt to SSH into the server. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where the disconnect may be?
