Hi All,
To bring in user passwords into Okta, we use password import inline hook. According to documentation at https://help.okta.com/oie/en-us/Content/Topics/automation-hooks/add-inline-hooks.htm, when password import inline hook returns a response that indicates that the password is valid, Okta sets the password for the user and won't normally need to call your service again.
Why do customers have to implement (customize) password import inline hook? Cant the same functionality be achieved with delegated authentication turned on (with AD or LDAP agent)? What I say is turn on the delegated authentication (with AD or LDAP agent). And when the agents returns a response that indicates that the password is valid, Okta can set the password in UD? Of course, Okta do this in the same conditions like when user is logging in for the first time after imported to Okta and has a flag (similar to password hook) turned on?
That would be a great feature and customers do NOT have to implement password import inline hook.
Or, am I missing something here?
Thanks
Yuva
