DeepakJ.82907 (Customer) asked a question.
Is it possible to force sync Active Directory user profiles, users, and group memberships to Okta programmatically?
We have a ASP.NET web application that uses delegated authentication with Active Directory (AD). In this application, we are updating the user's email address in AD as well as the database. However, the changes are not getting reflected in Okta until a real-time sync is triggered with either of the following:
- The user signs out and signs back in
- An Okta Admin loads or refreshes a user's profile on the People page
We would like to know if there is a way to trigger a sync from AD using Okta SDK.
Hi @DeepakJ.82907 (Customer) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
This is currently not supported. There is a Feature Request under consideration to make AD import triggers via API. You can review and upvote it here.
In the meantime, you can set up scheduled imports from AD via the Admin UI to keep your profiles updated.
If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
Hope my answer helps!
