IP restrictions on tokens

Admins can specify allowlisted and blocklisted network zones for static, Single Sign-On Web System (SSWS) API tokens. This strengthens org security by letting them control where calls to Okta APIs can originate from. It also restricts attackers and malware from stealing SSWS tokens or replaying them outside of their IP range to gain unauthorized access.

Version: 2024.02.0

February 2024

Generally Available

Sign-In Widget, version 7.15.1

For details about this release, see the Sign-In Widget Release Notes.

For more information about the Widget, see the Okta Sign-In Widget Guide.

Okta LDAP agent, version 5.19.1

This version of the agent fixes the expiring signature error that prevented agents from auto-updating to the newest LDAP agent version. See Okta LDAP Agent version history.

Okta Active Directory agent, version 3.16.1

This version of the agent fixes an expiring signature error that prevented agents from auto-updating to the newest Active Directory agent version. See Okta Active Directory agent version history.

Okta MFA Credential Provider for Windows, version 1.4.2

This version includes bug fixes and security enhancements. See Okta MFA Credential Provider for Windows Version History.

Assign admin roles to an app

Orgs can now assign admin roles to their custom API Service Integrations. Apps with assigned admin roles are constrained to the permissions and resources that are included in the role assignment. This helps ensure that apps only have access to the resources that are needed to perform their tasks, and improves orgs' overall security. See Work with the admin component.

Seamless ISV experience

Okta now provides a seamless ISV experience to optimize the Okta Integration Network (OIN) submission experience for SAML and OIDC integrations. This new experience enables independent software vendors (ISVs) to build and manually test their integration metadata before submission. This reduces the time needed for the OIN team to review and validate that the integration functions as intended, which shortens the time to publish in the OIN.

This experience also incorporates communication processes in Salesforce, enabling improved collaboration internally within Okta teams and externally with ISVs. See Publish an OIN integration overview and Submit an SSO integration with the OIN Wizard guide.

DPoP support for Okta management API

You can now use OAuth 2.0 Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession (DPoP) access tokens to access Okta management APIs. See Configure OAuth 2.0 Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession.

LDAP real-time synchronization

With real-time synchronization, user profiles, groups, and group memberships can now be updated when LDAP-sourced users sign in to Okta, or when they refresh their People page. Admins no longer need to perform full or incremental imports of user attributes, and user profiles, groups, and group memberships are always up to date. Real-time synchronization also reduces the burden on system resources because user attributes are imported and updated individually and not in large groups. See Manage your LDAP integration. This feature is being re-released.

Updated translations

Translations for password policy UI have been updated.

Reports field update

The operator field of the Reports Edit Filters dialog shows the selected item in the dropdown menu.

Dynamic user schema discovery now available

Enhanced Disaster Recovery

This feature enables commercial customers in the North America region (excluding Compliance cells) to recover faster in the event of a disaster or regional outage. See Overview of enhanced disaster recovery.

Admin sessions bound to Autonomous System Number (ASN)

When an admin signs in to Okta, their session is now associated with the ASN they are logging in from. If the ASN changes during the session, the admin is signed out of Okta, and an event appears in the System Log.

Admin sessions bound to IP address

The Security General Organization Security page has a new IP binding for admin console setting that's enabled by default. This setting associates all of the admin sessions in your org with the device IP address. If the IP address changes during the session, the admin is signed out of Okta, and an event appears in the System Log. This setting can be disabled, but Okta recommends keeping it enabled as a security best practice. See General Security.

Verify Zoom users with Okta

Zoom users can now attest and verify a user's identity between two independent parties using Okta-signed tokens.

Permission conditions for profile attributes

You can now apply conditions to the View users and their details and Edit users' profile attributes custom admin role permissions. Permission conditions help you limit the scope of a role by including or excluding admins' access to individual profile attributes. This gives you more granular control over your custom admin roles and helps meet your org's unique security needs. See Permission conditions.

Granular permissions to manage directories

This feature enables you to assign permissions to view and manage directories as part of a customized admin role. Admins without universal application administrator permissions can handle directory-specific tasks.

Improved password reset process for Active Directory-sourced users

The password reset process sends password update and verification requests to the same Active Directory agent to avoid replication delay.

Unknown devices detection using fingerprint

Admins can now configure how unknown devices are treated based on the presence of a device fingerprint.

See Configure a password policy.

New requirement for email customizations

To prevent phishing attacks, Okta now requires orgs to have a custom domain to send customized emails. All customized emails currently sent from the Okta domain are disabled, and orgs that use the Okta domain can send default email templates only. This feature is currently enabled by default for new orgs only.

Enhanced System Log Event

The policy.evaluate_sign_on System Log event now shows the assurance policy factor requirement and a list of the available authentication factors for the sign-on event.

Cornerstone OnDemand now uses OAuth for authentication

System Log entries for password policy changes now display the policy settings before and after the update was made.

Improved System Log map view

The System Log map view now includes a reset button and left and right bounds on the zoom function.

New System Log information for MFA enrollment policy changes

System Log entries for MFA enrollment policy changes now display the policy settings before and after the update was made.

IP binding for Admin Console setting

The SecurityGeneralOrganization Security page has a new IP binding for Admin Console setting. When you enable this setting, all of the admin sessions in your org are associated with the system IP address that they signed-in from. If the IP address changes during the session, the admin is signed out of Okta, and an event appears in the System Log. See General Security.

Additional operator for date filter

The date filter is now standardized across all reports and includes the in range operator.

Early Access

Realms for Workforce

Realms allows you to unlock greater flexibility in managing and delegating management of your distinct user populations within a single Okta org. See Manage realms.

Google Workspace 1-click federation

Admins can set up SSO to Google Workspace using a simplified integration experience that saves time and reduces the risk of errors.

Version: 2024.04.0

April 2024

Generally Available

Okta MFA Provider for ADFS, version 1.8.0

This release includes vulnerability fixes and a .NET Framework version upgrade.

Content Security Policy for custom domains

The Content Security Policy (CSP) feature lets admins control which URLs may be linked to from customized sign-in and error pages in orgs that use custom domains. Admins add trusted URLs to Okta that link to items such as images and add these links to the code in their sign-in and error pages. This feature enhances security by enabling admins to allow only approved content to appear and prevent the introduction of potentially malicious code to these pages. See Customize the Content Security Policy (CSP) for a custom domain.

SAML Certificate expiration notification feature

This feature notifies admins through task entries in the Admin Console about expired or soon-to-expire certificates for SAML apps. This enhances security and minimizes app downtime caused by expired certificates.

Support case management for admins

Super admins can now assign the View, create, and manage Okta support cases permission and Support Cases resource to a custom admin role. This allows delegated admins to manage the support cases that they've opened. See Role permissions.

Okta Usage report enhancements

The Okta Usage report now attempts to download the generated CSV file immediately upon loading, and updates the email template when the report is generated. The CSV file can now contain up to five million rows. These enhancements automate the tasks of downloading and emailing the report, and provide more data to admins.

Customize Okta to use the telecommunications provider of your choice

While Okta provides out of the box telephony functionality, many customers need the ability to integrate their existing telecommunications provider with Okta to deliver SMS and Voice messages.

The Telephony Inline Hook allows customers to generate one-time passcodes within Okta and then use their existing telecommunications provider to deliver the messages for MFA enrollment/verification, password reset, and account unlock using SMS or Voice. This allows customers to use their existing telephony solution within Okta, due to the time they've already invested in their existing telephony solution, the need to use a specific regional provider, or simply the desire to maintain flexibility. See Connect to an external telephony service provider.

New maximum number of connected AWS accounts

Admins can now connect a maximum of 1000 Amazon Web Services accounts to the AWS Account Federation app in Okta. This change helps avoid timeouts when testing API credentials on AWS.

Improved date filter display in reports

The date filter is now standardized and appears inline for the following reports: Telephony usage, Continuous access violation, Entity risk, At-risk user, and MFA events.

Improved Admin Dashboard and Administrators page

The appearance of several UI components (like buttons and dropdown menus) have been improved across the Admin Dashboard and the Administrators page.

Updated documentation links

Documentation links under the Security, Applications, and Customizations menus now redirect to the correct documentation.

End-User Dashboard and unsupported browsers

The End-User Dashboard no longer loads in unsupported browsers, including Internet Explorer 11 or Edge in Internet Explorer mode. This change enhances security by preventing access from browsers that no longer receive updates.

End-User Dashboard branding and accessibility enhancements

The End-User Dashboard now features design changes that provide a consistent brand experience across Okta's app and enhance accessibility for users.

New target added to a System Log event

A new target was added to the user.authentication.auth_via_mfa System Log event. The target shows the type of MFA app that was used to authenticate.

Authentication context System Log event

The new AuthenticationContext System Log event shows who accessed the configuration secrets for ADFS, Windows Credential Provider (RDP), Epic Hyperspace, and Epic Hyperdrive apps.

New DSSO user impersonation System Log event

A System Log event is now logged when a user attempts Desktop Single Sign-On (DSSO) authentication using a profile source that wasn't the highest priority.

Early Access

This release doesn't have any Early Access features.

Fixes

Some Microsoft Windows 365 Enterprise license names weren't displayed correctly on the Edit Assignment page. (OKTA-679276)

Weekly Updates

2024.04.1: Update 1 started deployment on April 15

Fixes

HTML was visible in some usernames in the Authenticator enrolled notification email. (OKTA-674629)
In the Okta Usage report, the date picker was in an incorrect date format for the US English language and the earliest possible date couldn't be selected. (OKTA-688574)

2024.04.2: Update 2 started deployment on April 22

Generally Available

Referrer-Policy HTTP header sends default value

The Referrer-Policy HTTP response header controls how much referrer header information should be included with requests. Okta currently doesn't send the Referrer-Policy response header. The default value for the header is strict-origin-when-cross-origin when it's not sent by Okta. Browsers use the current default value. With this change, Okta will send the Referrer-Policy response header with the default value of strict-origin-when-cross-origin. This feature will be gradually made available to all orgs.

Fixes

User.session.start events didn't appear in the System Log. (OKTA-713292)
Deactivation of a user from one Office 365 app instance led to the revocation of their license despite being actively assigned to another Office 365 app instance. This also solves the issue where license removal was not happening for assigned user being in Matched or Suspended state. (OKTA-718565)

Version: 2024.05.0

May 2024

Generally Available

Option to enforce profile source priority for Desktop Single Sign On

Enforcing profile source priority for DSSO requires end users to authenticate using their identity from the top prioritized profile source. See Enable delegated authentication for LDAP.

Microsoft Graph commands for Office 365 Manual Domain Federation

The Manual Domain Federation configuration guide for Microsoft Office 365 now uses Microsoft Graph commands.

Permissions for custom admins to manage agents

The password reset process sends password update and verification requests to the same Active Directory agent to avoid replication delay.

IME support for international characters

Admins can now use an Input Method Editor (IME) to type international characters into the Admin Console.

Support for multiple Okta Verify enrollments

Multiple Okta Verify enrollments are now supported on the Authentication and Factors APIs. Multiple enrollments using Okta Verify TOTP aren't allowed if the factor enrollment policy requires Okta Verify with Push. Set Okta Verify with Push to optional to allow Multiple enrollments using Okta Verify TOTP.

Deprecated user profile attributes for Office 365

The following user profile attributes are no longer supported for Office 365:

AuthOrig
DLMemRejectPerms

The GitHub Team connector has been updated to support Entitlement Management. See Provisioning-enabled apps.

System Log events for Workflows execution history

Three new event types have been added to the System Log for logging Workflows execution history events:

workflows.user.flow.execution_history.activate
workflows.user.flow.execution_history.deactivate
workflows.user.flow.execution_history.delete

See the Event Types API.

System Log event updates for sign-on policies

The following System Log events are updated to include more debug data and change details about added, updated or deleted rules:

application.policy.sign_on.rule.create
application.policy.sign_on.rule.delete

policy.rule.update

System Log event update for Trusted Origins

If a Trusted Origin is updated using an Event Hook, the event hook ID is now displayed in the System Log event.

Early Access

Skip the verify page and redirect to the IdP authenticator

This feature allows users to skip the verify step in the Sign-In Widget. They are instead redirected to the IdP authenticator for verification. When you enable this feature, end users see the option to skip the Sign-In Widget verification. If your org is configured to remember the last authenticator the user used, then the user is auto-redirected to the IdP authenticator for future sign-in attempts.

Deprecated user profile attributes for Office 365

The following user profile attributes are no longer supported for Office 365:

AuthOrig
DLMemRejectPerms
DLMemSubmitPerms
IsTrackingChanges
UnauthOrig

See Supported user profile attributes for Office 365 provisioning.

Breached password protection

Protect your organization from the impact of passwords that have been compromised. If Okta determines that an Okta username and password combination has been compromised based on the data collected by our internal threat intelligence pipeline, Okta records a System Log event, expires the user's credentials, and requires the user to update their password before they can use their password to sign in again. See Breached password protection.

Rate limit update for using Okta fallback telephony provider

Orgs that use an active telephony inline hook now have a heavy rate limit for the Okta fallback mechanism.

Federation Broker Mode has been removed from OAuth Service Clients

The Federation Broker Mode option has been removed from OAuth Service Clients.

DPoP available when creating OIDC apps

You can now require the Demonstrating Proof of Possession (DPoP) condition when you create an OIDC app. Previously, this option was only available after you create the app. This streamlines the process of creating and securing OIDC apps.

Increase to Inline Hooks

The maximum number of inline hooks an org can create is now 100. The previous maximum was 50. See Add an inline hook .

Support for migration to Microsoft Graph

You can now migrate your existing Office 365 WS-Fed Manual app instances to Microsoft Graph by using the migration banner on the app dashboard.

Early Access

Access request conditions and resource catalog

This feature provides a new method to streamline your access requests for apps, entitlements, and groups from the app's profile page in the Admin Console.

As super admins and access request admins, you can set up app-specific access request conditions that define requester scope, access level, expiration for the access level, and the approval sequence. Based on your active conditions, requesters can request access to an app or app access level directly from their End-User Dashboard.

Compared to request types, this approach allows you to reuse existing relationships between users, groups, and apps defined in Okta to govern access instead of recreating these in Okta Access Requests. This feature also integrates the app catalog in the End-User Dashboard with Access Requests to make the process of requesting access intuitive and user-friendly. See Access Requests and Create requests.

You can also view and edit a user's access duration for the app if the app has Governance Engine enabled. See Manage user entitlements.

Workspace ONE Device Trust orgs using Classic Engine can now migrate to Identity Engine

Admins can now migrate their existing Workspace ONE Device Trust configurations to Identity Engine. This feature unblocks Classic Engine tenant migrations by allowing both the existing admin configuration and the end-user authentication flows to be migrated when previously integrated with our Workspace ONE Device Trust feature. See Migrate Workspace ONE SAML-based mobile device trust.

Version: 2024.07.0

July 2024

Generally Available

Okta Provisioning agent, version 2.1.0

This release of the Okta Provisioning agent contains vulnerability fixes. See Okta Provisioning agent and SDK version history.

Okta Active Directory agent, version 3.18.0

This release of the Okta Active Directory agent uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization and OAuth 2.0 Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession (DPoP) to securely communicate with Okta. Agents are now registered through the OAuth 2.0 device registration flow and operate independently from the account used to register them. This release also includes security enhancements and bug fixes. See Okta Active Directory agent version history.

New maximum session lifetime for SAML apps

Users can now configure the maximum app session lifetime for SAML apps.

Improved JIT performance for directory integrations

JIT-enabled directory integrations now have improved response times for JIT requests.

New Manage API tokens admin role permission

The new Manage API tokens permission lets admins view, revoke, and update the principle rate limit for a token. This enhancement lets admins assign more granular permissions and reduce the risk of creating roles with too many privileges.

Protected actions in the Admin Console

The protected actions feature provides an additional layer of security to your org. It prompts admins for authentication when they perform critical tasks in the Admin Console and helps ensure that only authorized admins can perform these tasks. Super admins can configure the authentication interval for their org. See Protected actions in the Admin Console and MFA for protected actions in the Admin Console. This feature will be gradually made available to all orgs.

Active Directory Bidirectional Group Management

Bidirectional Group Management for Active Directory (AD) allows you to manage AD groups from within Okta. You can add or remove users from groups based on their identity and access requirements. This ensures that changes made to user access in Okta are reflected in AD. When you use Okta Access Certifications to revoke a user's membership to an AD group, the removal is reflected in AD. Okta can only manage group memberships for users and groups imported into Okta using the AD integration. It isn't possible to manage users and groups that weren't imported through AD integration. It's also not possible to manage users and groups that are outside the organizational unit's scope for the integration using this feature. See Bidirectional Group Management with Active Directory.

MyAccount Management scopes

The MyAccount Management scopes are no longer added to custom authorization servers by default when an authorization server is created.

Enhanced System Log events table

The value of a client IP address, if present, is now shown below the actor in the events table.

Network Zones and API token restrictions

You can no longer update network zones so they're invalid for use with an API token. This applies only to network zones that are used as restrictions to API tokens. You can update network zones if you first remove them from the API token restriction. These zones can't be deactivated, deleted, blocklisted, or made anything other than an active IP zone.

Event hook limit increased

The limit on active event hooks per org has been increased from 10 to 25. See Create an event hook and Workflows System limits.

New System Log events for Workflows subfolder actions

Improved folder organization gives admins the flexibility to drag and drop folders into other folders or move them up to become a top-level folder. See Move a folder into another folder. When this action happens, the new workflows.user.folder.move event type appears in the System Log. See the Event Types API.

Additional System Log event information

The user.account.privilege.grant System Log event now includes information about the assigned role and target, and indicates if it was a group or individual role assignment.

Early Access

Entitlement Management with Okta Provisioning Agent with SCIM 2.0 support

This agent supports Entitlements Management for app integrations that have enabled Governance Engine. This allows the provisioning of entitlements between Okta and on-premises apps.

The Generated Password Health report was incomplete. (OKTA-746008)
