Server Agent

  • Okta Privileged Access now supports Linux systems with shared home directories. Admins can now configure the Okta Privileged Access server agent to bypass provisioning the authorized principals file to a user's home directory, which eliminates log pollution issues on systems using Network File System (NFS).

  • The new JITGroupMembership and JITAccount configuration options in the server agent allow admins to override the default JIT provisioning settings for group membership and account creation.
