Okta Classic Engine release notes (2025)

Version: 2025.01.0

January 2025

Generally Available

Okta Provisioning agent, version 2.2.0

This release contains bug fixes and minor improvements. The RPM installer is now signed. See Okta Provisioning agent and SDK version history.

Okta Active Directory agent, version 3.19.0

This release of the Okta Active Directory agent includes an additional layer of end-to-end encryption for payloads that are exchanged between Okta and the agent. Support for monitoring the Active Directory agent configuration file has been added, where a System Log event is emitted when the agent configuration has been changed on premises. This release also includes security enhancements and bug fixes. See Okta Active Directory agent version history

OAuth 2.0 security for invoking API endpoints

Okta Workflows users can now securely invoke API endpoints using OAuth 2.0 protocols and their Okta org authorization server. Compared with the existing token authorization option, this feature is more secure while also being easier to implement. Add the okta.workflows.invoke.manage scope to any new or existing app integration to make it eligible to invoke your API endpoint. See Invoke a flow with an API endpoint.

Granular deprovisioning in Microsoft Office 365

You can now deprovision users in Office 365 using multiple methods. See Deprovisioning options for Office 365.

Block syncable passkeys

You can now block syncable passkeys during authentication. Previously, you could only block them during enrollment. This enhances the security of your org by preventing users from presenting such passkeys to attempt to enroll new, unmanaged devices. See FIDO2 (WebAuthn).

Additional use case selection in the OIN Wizard

Independent software vendors (ISVs) can select the following additional use case categories when they submit their integration to the OIN:

  • Automation

  • Centralized Logging

  • Directory and HR Sync

  • Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

See Use case selection in the OIN Wizard.

Early Access

Entitlement claims

You can now enrich tokens with app entitlements that produce deeper integrations. After you configure this feature for your app integration, use the Okta Expression Language in Identity Engine to add entitlements at runtime as OIDC claims and SAML assertions. See Generate federated claims.

Block syncable passkeys

You can now block syncable passkeys during authentication. Previously, you could only block them during enrollment. This enhances the security of your org by preventing users from presenting such passkeys to attempt to enroll new, unmanaged devices. See FIDO2 (WebAuthn).
