Okta Classic Engine release notes (Production)
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 About 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.

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.

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 General 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. SeeVerify 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.
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
Cornerstone OnDemand replaced the previous authentication method with OAuth authentication to improve security for provisioning. Create a new Cornerstone OnDemand app instance and configure it to use Oauth credentials. See Configure provisioning for Cornerstone OnDemand.
Styling change for Brands pages
The
section of the Admin Console now uses Odyssey UI components. There's no change to functionality, but some of the styling is different.AAL values for Login.gov IdP
The Login.gov IdP configuration has been updated to include all allowed AAL values. See Create an Identity Provider in Okta.
New System Log information for password policy changes
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 General 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. SeeAdditional 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: 2024.02.0
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
Dynamic user schema discovery is now available for SCIM app integrations that support user entitlements and Identity Governance.
OIN connector support for Entitlement Management
The PagerDuty and Zendesk connectors have been updated to support Entitlement Management. See Provisioning-enabled apps.
App integration tile now available for Okta Workflows
Users who are assigned to the Okta Workflows app integration now have a dedicated tile on their End-User Dashboard to launch the Okta Workflows Console. See Workflows Console.
Early Access Features
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. SeeProtected actions in the Admin Console.
Detect and block requests from anonymizing proxies
Orgs can now detect and block web requests that come from anonymizers. This helps improve the overall security of your org.
Network zone allowlists for SSWS API tokens
Admins can now specify a network zone allowlist for each static (SSWS) API token. These allowlists define the IP addresses or network ranges from where Okta API requests using SSWS API tokens can be made. This restricts attackers and malware from stealing SSWS tokens and replaying them outside of the specified IP range to gain unauthorized access.
Prevent new single-factor access to the Admin Console
This feature prevents admins from configuring any new single-factor access to the Admin Console. There's no impact to any existing rules that allow single-factor access.
