Okta Provisioning Agent incremental import

When you perform an incremental import, the full user profile is imported if any of the attributes have changed since the last successful import. This reduces synchronization time and the computational resources that are required to complete the import. The Okta Provisioning Agent lets you import user data from on-premises apps without provisioning capability.

Before you begin

• Install and configure the Okta Provisioning Agent. See Install the Okta Provisioning Agent
• Create and connect a SCIM connector to Okta. See Create and test SCIM connectors and Connect to a SCIM connector
• Create an on-premises app instance. See Create an instance of your on-premises app in Okta.

Start this task

1. In the Admin Console, go to ApplicationsApplications.
2. Enter the name of your app integration in the Search field.
3. Click the name of your app integration and click the Sign On tab.
4. In the App Settings area, click Edit, select Enable on-premises provisioning, and click Save.
5. Click the Provisioning tab and complete these fields on the Connector Configuration page:

   • SCIM connector base URL: Enter the URL for the SCIM connector.

   • Authorization type: Select HTTP Header.
   • HTTP header name and value: Enter Authorization for the HTTP header name and Bearer ID for the value.

     To generate the Bearer ID, make a POST to your /sessions endpoint (for example, http://scimapp.okta1.com:1910/v1/sessions) with the following request body:

     "login":"admin@example.com", "password": "Abcd1234", "tenant":" "The ScimOne Company"
   • Unique user field name: Enter userName.
   • Accept user updates: Select Store updates to the user's app profile returned by the connector to use data returned by the connector or SCIM server to update the user's app profile.
   • Timeout for API calls: Choose the amount of time after which provisioning calls will timeout when the SCIM endpoint hasn't returned a response.
   • Connect to these agents: Select the Okta Provisioning Agent for the on-premises app.
