Hi all,
We are currently in design phase and do not have Okta integrated with AD and O365 (AAD). The idea is to integrate in phases, starting with integrating O365 with Okta for SSO (including silent activation) and then integrate AD as downstream with OKta for legacy apps (exception or request based user provisioning) and O365 with Okta for users, groups, license management.
Question: Is it a pre-requisite to have Okta integrated with AD before we enable Okta - O365 SSO including silent activation (agentless desktop sso) for O365 apps (thick client) ?
Best regards,
Shivam

Hello @lsr4m (lsr4m) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
For silent activation you will need to integrate AD with Okta before you begin, as mentioned in our article below:
