hello
currently our OKTA is setup to delagate authentication to use a AD on VM in Azure. we are in the process of shutdown all our VM and would like to move the authentication to AAD or OKTA or both if possible. what would be the best way to do this?
thank you in advance.

Hello @7mu3r (7mu3r) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
Since you are shutting down AD, our recommendation would be to move the password into Okta. Since you will decommission AD you will be forced to ask your users to reset their password and setup an Okta password or "Do nothing" which in this case you would need to make Azure AD the source of truth for your users. However this might complicate the login flow for your users.
If possible and if you have a Preview environment, setup Azure AD as IDP in Okta and make it source for a few test users and see if this is something you would like to further pursue.
