Overview
The Backupta solution supports granular backup and restoration, real-time security alerting and release management for both Okta Workforce and Customer IAM. We ensure business continuity by monitoring and protecting your Okta configuration and identities. Backupta characteristics include: 1) SOC2 Type 2 certified, 2) Retainment of full ownership of your data, 3) Deployment within a week, 4) Integration with Rockstar Chrome extension.
The Challenge
- Accidental updates and deletions of configurations or users with no recovery method cause significant business disruptions
- Lack of visibility and knowledge of suspicious activities on Okta tenants opens floodgates to attacks and breaches
- Time-consuming and consistency to keep different Okta environments in sync and manage rollout of changes
- Manual report creation for compliance and audits can quickly overwhelm IT staff

SWA
Secure Web Authentication is a Single Sign On (SSO) system developed by Okta to provide SSO for apps that don't support proprietary federated sign-on methods, SAML or OIDC.
-
OIDC
OpenID Connect is an extension to the OAuth standard that provides for exchanging Authentication data between an identity provider (IdP) and a service provider (SP) and does not require credentials to be passed from the Identity Provider to the application.
-
WS-Federation
Provisioning
-
Create
Creates or links a user in the application when assigning the app to a user in Okta.
-
Update
Okta updates a user's attributes in the app when the app is assigned. Future attribute changes made to the Okta user profile will automatically overwrite the corresponding attribute value in the app.
-
Attribute Sourcing
The application can be defined as the source of truth for a full user profile or as the source of truth for specific attributes on a user profile.
-
Deactivate
Deactivates a user's account in the app when it is unassigned in Okta or their Okta account is deactivated. Accounts can be reactivated if the app is reassigned to a user in Okta.
-
Sync Password
Push either the users Okta password or a randomly generated password to the app. This feature is not required for all federated applications as user authentication takes place in Okta, however some apps still require a password.
-
Group Push
Push existing Okta groups and their memberships to the application. Groups can then be managed in Okta and changes are reflected in the application.
-
Group Linking
Link Okta groups to existing groups in the application. Simplifies onboarding an app for Okta provisioning where the app already has groups configured.
-
Schema Discovery
Import the user attribute schema from the application and reflect it in the Okta app user profile. Allows Okta to use custom attributes you have configured in the application that were not included in the basic app schema.
-
Attribute Writeback
When the application is used as a profile master it is possible to define specific attributes to be sourced from another location and written back to the app. For example the user profile may come from Active Directory with phone number sourced from another app and written back to Active Directory.
Documentation
Here is a section all about documentation, integration, and implementation.
Okta Verified
The integration was either created by Okta or by Okta community users and then tested and verified by Okta.
