Questions Regarding OPA Requirement and OPS Standalone Operation
Hello,
After completing an integration test using the On-premises Connector for Generic Databases, we would like to ask the following questions regarding the OPA/OPS architecture.
- Can OPS operate without OPA in an environment using OPC?
If the On-premises Connector for Generic Databases is configured in the Okta Org and OPS is installed, is it possible to operate the Import and Provisioning functions between Okta and the database using OPS only, without installing OPA?
If this is not supported, could you please explain the technical reason why OPA is required and also provide the minimum officially supported configuration?
- Can OPS operate independently without OPC?
If the On-premises Connector for Generic Databases is not configured in the Okta Org, is it supported to use OPS (Okta On-prem SCIM Server) independently as a SCIM server and integrate it directly with Okta?
We would also like to confirm whether OPS is a component that must be used together with OPC and OPA, or whether it can be used independently in a separate SCIM integration environment.
Additionally, for each scenario above, could you please confirm both:
- whether the configuration is technically possible, and
- whether it is an architecture officially supported by Okta.
Thank you.
