Manage users with Okta Directories

Store, update, and authenticate users from anywhere and anything

Okta Directories is a Directory-as-a-Service (DaaS) that allows organisations to store users, credentials and metadata about users in Okta. The Platform Service uses integrations that allow admins to create, modify, and authenticate users, as well as sync users to other application directories.

Robust APIs

Full set of create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations allow you to manage your users and security policies programmatically. 

Expression language

Expressions allow you to reference, transform, and combine attributes before you store them in a user profile or before passing them to an application for authentication or provisioning.

LDAP interface

The interface allows users to authenticate against the directory with LDAP to support legacy applications or network devices.

Self service

You can give end users the ability to create their own accounts and recover their accounts if they forget their credentials.

Okta Inline Hooks

Inline Hooks give you the power to add custom logic to imports and authentication flows so you can customise passwords and data that you migrate from legacy systems.
