Project Description

Dual-instance of Okta with the decommissioning of Active Directory.

Two years ago we established a dual instance of Okta.  Internal Okta for staff and external Okta for collaborating with partners.  Staff can access authorized apps assigned to external Okta.    We are not in the final phase of decommissioning Active Directory and utilizing Okta only for SSO/MFA.   Laptops are being updated with Win 11/MDM/Okta only.

Lessons Learned

No.   The products utilized would not have been ready to do what I wanted to do. We were ahead of the curve and now I believe we are transitioning at the right time.  Some backend services will end, and from a user perspective not much changes.  We have been all cloud, SSO/MFA.  This improves and better secures our data and solution sets.
