Roll out cloud software while still taking advantage of your existing domain with desktop single sign-on. Give your end users an end-to-end single sign-on experience from the web or thick client.

Integrating Active Directory

Unlike other technological upgrades, when you move to the cloud, you don't need to rip out your current infrastructure. Moving to the cloud is as simple as a small agent that can be deployed in any geographical location with Okta's Active Directory Integration.

Selective imports

Specify users and groups from the Active Directory Organizational Units that will be imported into Okta.

Delegated authentication

Utilize authentication via Active Directory by delegating authentication.

Just-in-time creation

Create users in Okta as they log in rather than bulk importing an entire user directory.

6x faster

Okta’s cloud identity layer simplifies complex architectures that leads to shorter deployment cycles. O365 deployment times are up to 6x faster.*

Secure and flexible controls

Ensuring your users make the most of Office 365 means making it easy for them to access all O365 services from any clients. With different versions of Word, Excel, Outlook, OneDrive, and Teams across different types of devices, the sheer volume of O365 clients can be overwhelming.

ThreatInsight
