Check AD DirSync readiness

Use the DirSync Readiness Check to verify that your Active Directory (AD) agents are correctly configured and have the necessary permissions to use DirSync for faster, incremental imports. DirSync can't be enabled until all agents pass this check.

Prerequisites

Enable AD DirSync in your Okta org. If DirSync isn't enabled, the readiness check isn't available.

Start this task

  1. In the Admin Console, go to DirectoryDirectory Integrations.

  2. Find and click the AD integration on which you want to perform a readiness check.
  3. Go to the Agents tab. A banner appears if any agents fail to meet the requirements for DirSync.
  4. Click Check now in the DirSync Readiness Check section to start the analysis.
  5. The Check DirSync Imports Readiness page lists any agents that have yet to have a readiness check complete, or fail to meet the requirements to enable AD DirSync. The following table lists the possible issues that an agent can have (these are the Required Action values) and how to resolve them.
