PrajnaP.47699 (Customer) asked a question.

Push group troubleshooting

I have implemented push group functionality to move groups and users from Okta to AD. Everything has been working as expected. However I have 2 questions regarding this feature.

  1. How often does the push group job run? Can it be manually configured to run every hour or say at 1AM everyday?
  2. It looks like every time the push is executed, it updates the lastupdated date for all my accounts in Okta. Most of my accounts have not been modified but because of the push group, the date gets updated everyday.

I have a custom script which takes the lastupdated field of the accounts and then updates another application. But since this date gets updated daily with no changes being made, I cannot use this field anymore. Is there any other date field that can be leveraged to check for actual updates in Okta?

 

Appreciate your help.

 

Regards,

Prajna

    Hello @PrajnaP.47699 (Customer)​ Thank you for reacting out to our Community!

     

    Group push is expected to push every time there is a change on a user and unfortunately there is now way to manually configure a specific time for the push.

    Also when the push is being done is also expected to have the last update attribute updated as well.

    For the script, at this time there is no other attribute that comes to mind you could used, unless you can configure a custom attribute.

    I have this same question and find that the rules setup for the groups update the user in okta but are never updated on the group in AD unless you manually push now to force the sync. Then the user is added to the group in AD. How do we get this to happen automatically? It seems if the group is assigned to staff it should update the AD group from the okta group.
