To provide high availability and failover protection, install two or more Okta Active Directory (AD) Agents on separate servers in each domain.

  1. On the host server, sign in to Okta with Super Admin permissions and click Admin to access the Okta Admin Console.
  2. In the Admin Console, go to DirectoryDirectory Integrations.
  3. Click Active Directory.
  4. Click the Agents tab and click Add Agent.
  5. Review the installation requirements, click Set Up Active Directory, and then click Download Agent.
  6. Run the installer. See Install the Okta Active Directory agent.

To check the status of the second agent, click Dashboard on the Okta Admin Console. A green circle next to the agent name indicates that the agent is connected and healthy.
