ScottC.38230 (Customer) asked a question.
We've recently moved from the old/free Okta Connect to a "real" Okta account with Identity Engine and I had what hopefully isn't a terribly stupid question.
Right now, we use AD as our source of truth for usernames/passwords and email addresses.
If possible, I would like to engage the password sync functionality to accomplish the following:
1> Sync AD passwords to Okta so they are available if agents are not.
2> Sync the password (now in Okta) to Google, for the same reason (allowing login if Okta unavailable)
2> Allow users to change password in Okta, sync the change to both Google and AD
Right now I don't need to create users but just synx the passwords. In the configuration for both AD and Google in the admin interface says something along the lines of "Creates a [integration] password for each assigned user and pushes it to [integration]"
The AD Password Sync utility seems to indicate that it will sync the password to Okta and then to any apps, but before I break anything I think I wanted some assurance that if I run AD Password Sync on my AD server that the existing AD passwords will be assigned to Okta users and pushed to Google rather than Okta pushing a password it creates on it's own?
Apologies if this isn't a clear question, I'm still coming up to speed on Identity Engine stuff.
Thanks

Hi @ScottC.38230 (Customer),
I wouldn't call this a stupid question, but fairly broad question. 🙂
I don't know all these moving parts, but here's few notes:

Thank you Jani
Upon re-reading everything it seems the goal of setting the password on, for example, Google will work, but there doesn't seem to be a way to set the Okta user password so that Okta logins work with the AD server unavailable.
It's not a deal breaker but would be a nice thing to have.
Thank you again for your reply.
