ArsenyZ.84849 (Customer) asked a question.
Will enabling Sync Password update passwords for imported users?
I'm configuring Google Workspace App and provisioning.
We have a bunch of exiting users in Google whcih were already imported to Okta.
Now, I want to enable the Okta to App provisioning, but not sure about the "Sync Password" feature:
- a Google user has its own password
- the same Okta user has another password for Okta
- the user was imported from Google and assigned as "Matched" to the Google Workspace App
Now, when I'll enable the Okta to App provisioning with the "Sync Password" - will user be able to log in to Google with its old Google's password, or will Okta override Google's current password with the Okta's password?
Hi @ArsenyZ.84849 (Customer) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
If you don't use SSO, just the Provisioning features, then yes, the Sync Password feature would override the users password.
That being said, if you have a full Google Workspace integration implemented with SAML SSO and all, passwords no longer come into play for Google. All authentication attempts will be redirected to Okta as the identity provider (IDP) and user will have to use their Okta credentials anyway.
