Customize personal information and password management

If you manage end users' personal information and passwords in an external application, you can configure that application as the User Identity Source in Customizations. Using this setting, you can provide a link to the application in the End-User Dashboard. When end users click the link, they're taken to the third-party page to update their information and password.

This setting is only applicable to the end users whose personal information and password are managed outside of Okta (for example, Active Directory). Users managed in Okta can update their information and password directly in the End-User Dashboard.
