    Hello @JohnC.53608 (Customer)​ Thank you for posting on our Community page!

     

    At this time there is no documentation on this particular matter. This type of configuration might be archivable though Okta ASA.

    For this you can review our ASA doc : https://help.okta.com/asa/en-us/content/topics/adv_server_access/docs/sftd-configure.htm

     

    Additionally if you have a paid service with Okta we recommend to reach out to Support for addition assistance, they'll be able to access additional tools and resources to help you get to the bottom of it.

     

    Thank you for reaching out to our Community and have a great day!

    Thank you for your response!

     

    I have configured an ASA client agent, server agent, and even a gateway agent

    imageimageimageHowever, I still have no idea how to make Okta users appear in Linux.

    Is there a UNIX PAM module for Okta to make users appear in Linux?

    Should I configure other agents or particular utilities for configuring SMB and PAM in Linux?
