Okta Imported Password User API Information
I am trying to create a user using the OKTA user API through postman to this endpoint
{{domain}}/api/v1/users?activate=true using the imported hash password version of the request as seen below:
The problem I am running into is that my application I am migrating away from uses HMACSHA1 hashing algorithm to generate the password hash for our users. When I set the algorithm to SHA-1 and send the request with the salt and passwordhash I cannot login into the okta org using the users current password in the legacy system. Does anyone know if Okta supports HMACSHA1? Or if that even matters and its a dumb question? Looking for any help and feedback. Thank you!
Hi @PPSA.87817 (Customer),
Thank you for posting on the Okta community page!
I have done some research and I have managed to find the bellow documentation that mentions the hashing functions that are supported by Okta and that also contains additional information:
Additionally, my advice would be to also leverage the Okta Developer forums for this type of questions and take advantage of their expertise.
