Have a question, does Okta support being a SCIM server while Entra is a SCIM client. Basically I want a user to be created in Entra and its attributes are synced to Okta and if any changes are made to the user object and its attributes I want it to sync.
Hey everyone,
Just took the Okta Certified Consultant exam and unfortunately failed. Honestly feeling pretty bummed, especially after putting other plans on hold to grind and prepare for this one.
What frustrates me the most is how the score breakdown lumps Part 1 (DOMC / Multiple Choice) and Part 2 (Hands-on / Use Cases) together into general topic percentages. Unlike the Professional and Administrator exams where the split was clearer, it’s really hard to pinpoint exact mistakes between the theoretical/DOMC questions and the practical tasks.
I personally felt the practical configuration was straightforward, so I'm convinced Part 1 (the 47 questions) is what pulled me down. 47 questions for an exam that is supposed to be hands-on/consultant-level feels pretty heavy.
Looking at my breakdown:
Working with Okta APIs: 91%
Implementing Advanced SSO Strategies: 78%
Implementing Okta Policies: 56%
Implementing Directory Solutions: 53%
Working with API Access Management: 33%
Implementing Custom Configuration Options: 17%
Advanced Sourcing Concepts: 0%
Implementing Inbound Federation: 0%
I’m determined to retake it and pass, but I’d love to get feedback from anyone who cleared it recently:
1 What resources or deep-dives helped you most for Inbound Federation, Advanced Sourcing, and API Access Management (OAuth/OIDC scopes, custom authorization servers)?
2 Any specific tips for mastering the DOMC format on these consultant-level edge cases?
Thanks for any insights!
Hi , I’m looking into moving our RingCentral user provisioning from manual management to Okta SCIM api/oauth , and I’d like to clarify a few things before we proceed am junior this just so i understand .
Currently, we already have existing RingCentral users and administrators that were created manually.
A few questions I’d like to confirm:
Existing users: How does RingCentral SCIM handle users that already exist in RingCentral but were manually created? Will Okta match/link the existing account based on email/username, or could it create a duplicate account?
Collaboration with the other teams
And how would you work with the app owner and to automate like to be professional
Admin roles: Can RingCentral SCIM provision RingCentral admin roles/permissions? For example, can we have an Okta group such as RingCentral-Admins and have members automatically provisioned with the appropriate RingCentral admin role? If yes, which admin roles are supported?
Groups: What is the recommended way to structure Okta groups for RingCentral? Should we have separate groups such as RingCentral-Users and RingCentral-Admins, and can group membership be used to control RingCentral roles/licenses?
Attribute mapping: Which RingCentral attributes are supported through SCIM (email, first name, last name, department, phone number, etc.)? Are there any attributes we should avoid managing from Okta because they could overwrite existing RingCentral configuration?
Production-only environment: Our Okta environment has both Sandbox and Production, but we currently only have a RingCentral Production environment and no RingCentral Sandbox. What is the recommended/safest approach for testing SCIM before enabling it for the full user population? Is there a recommended test-user/test-group approach in the RingCentral production tenant?
Deprovisioning: When a user is removed from the relevant Okta group or deactivated in Okta, what exactly happens to their RingCentral account, license, phone number/extension, and data?
Migration/rollout: Is there a recommended migration procedure for moving existing manually-created RingCentral users to Okta SCIM without creating duplicates or affecting their existing configuration?
And how would you work with the app owner and to automate like to be professional
Any documentation or recommendations around these points would be really helpful. Thanks!
Taking the OCA exam at Oktane.
Anyone take the Okta Admin exam recently?
Is it very similar to the training still as it has been in the past?
What to expect?
The exam study guide provides the reference https://saml-doc.okta.com/SAML_Docs/Configure-SAML-2.0-for-Org2Org.html for How to configure SAML 2.0 for Okta Org2Org application, but my question is: how are people practicing this if they have only signed up to the integrator account free plan? Are you guys getting the 30 day free trial in order to practice this or buying the premier practice exams instead?
Listen,
I have a good amount of experience around the Azure Automation / IAM automation field but one that that has broken me down to a little peon recently is trying to figure out how to work with Listed Objects in Okta workflows.
These things consistently give me trouble working with inside Okta workflows.
I specifically find myself in a place of working with a singular object inside the list, but not being able to work with the object AS an object normally because it's in a transposed list.
I am in an OIE environment, and based on my constant research is vastly different than the normal Classic environment.
What are some tips and tricks you could offer me and anyone else working with these monstrosities?
Hey Everyone
I created a workflow which gives me the report which SAML app is using RSA_SHA256 certificate
But in the app data there is no mention of SHA-1 or Sha-2
The output I got is either blank or RSA256
So I have to manually check what’s in the app
Does anyone have any idea to do it and get into specifics of this
