Configure advanced app settings

App browser behavior is important when managing app session lifecycles. This task describes the process of managing various app settings. This includes browser session settings, deep linking, maximum file upload size, enabling debug, content rewriting, host headers, and more. See Application session timeout interaction and Access Gateway and sessions.

Define application behaviors

App behavior on sign in, sign out, error, session integrity, policy denied, invalid certificates, and other behaviors can be adjusted as required. See Application behaviors.

Manage application policies

App policies can be used to define app access. Pages, sets of pages, resource types, and other access decisions can be implemented using app policy. This task describes how to add, edit, and delete, app policies. See Access policies and Policy types.

Manage Data Stores

App attribute content comes from various sources. The most common source is your Okta tenant. However, other Data Store types are supported as well, for example, database and LDAP. Access Gateway Data Stores allow you to define external attribute sources and use these sources to provide more app data. See Application attribute Data Stores.
