Connect an AI agent to an authorization server

Early Access release

If your org uses authorization servers to protect its resources, you can create a managed connection for this resource type. Okta authorization servers use Cross App Access to manage resource security, and are the recommended choice for securing AI agents. See Configure Cross App Access.

When you configure the authorization server, remember to create an access policy that has the JWT bearer grant type. This is required for Cross App Access to work.
