Okta Identity Engine release notes (Production)

Version: 2025.04.0

April 2025

Generally Available

Secure Identity Integrations

Secure Identity Integrations (SII) provides additional depth for the 50+ most-used enterprise SaaS applications with the inclusion of SSO, SCIM, Apps with entitlement support, Third-party apps that support Universal Logout, Workflows, and Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM).

Sign-In Widget, version 7.30.0

For details about this release, see the Sign-In Widget Release Notes. For more information about the Widget, see the Okta Sign-In Widget.

New versions of Okta Provisioning agent and SDK

Okta Provisioning agent 2.2.1 and Okta Provisioning agent SDK 2.1.1 are now available. These releases contain bug fixes and minor improvements.

OIN test account information deleted after 30 days

Okta deletes your test account credentials 30 days after you publish your app in OIN Wizard. You must create a new test account and re-enter the required information before submitting the app.

Risk Provider and Risk Events APIs are deprecated

These APIs have been deprecated. Use the SSF Security Event Tokens API instead to receive security-related events and other data-subject signals. Use the SSF Receiver API for third-party security event providers.

MyAccount Management scopes

The MyAccount Management scopes have been updated to non-system scopes and are now configurable by admins. See Create API access scopes .

Phishing resistance enabled by default

The Phishing resistant option is now selected by default as a possession factor constraint in newly created authentication policy and Okta account management policy rules. This only applies to orgs with phishing-resistant authenticators enabled. See Add an authentication policy rule and Add a rule for authenticator enrollment.

Step-up authentication for updating policies

Okta prompts for step-up authentication when admins perform protected actions in the Admin Console, like updating sign-on policies. The changes are only allowed after the admin authenticates successfully. This feature enhances org security by allowing admins to require MFA before performing protected actions. See Protected actions in the Admin Console.

Okta Verified text removed from the OIN

In the OIN catalog, the Okta Verified disclaimer has been removed from the app integration pages.

Okta account management policy

The Okta account management policy helps admins easily build phishing resistance into actions such as account unlock, password recovery, authenticator enrollment, and profile setting changes. Using the familiar rule-based framework of an authentication policy, admins can now customize which phishing-resistant authenticators are required when users attempt these common self-service actions. All of the configurations in the authentication policies can now be applied for authenticator management. See Okta account management policy.

Desktop MFA Recovery for Okta Device Access

Desktop MFA Recovery is now available for Desktop MFA for macOS. It provides a way for admins to generate a time-limited device recovery PIN to unblock Desktop MFA users who lost their MFA authentication device. See Desktop MFA recovery .

Early Access

Manage Active Directory accounts in Okta Privileged Access

This feature allows management of Active Directory (AD) account passwords through Okta Privileged Access using the Okta AD Agent. Admins can set discovery rules for accounts in specific organizational units (OUs) and create policies for user access, ensuring passwords are rotated upon check-in or on a schedule. Users with access can view their assigned accounts and retrieve passwords. To enable this feature, contact Okta support. See Manage Active Directory accounts

OAuth 2.0 provisioning for Org2Org with Auto-Rotation

Admins deploying multi-org architectures (for example Okta hub-and-spoke orgs) need to secure user and group provisioning. Provisioning using OAuth2.0 scoped tokens has several advantages over API tokens, including more access granularity, shorter token lifespans, and automatic key rotation. You can now enable OAuth 2.0 Auto-Rotation for Org2Org app provisioning directly from the Admin Console.

See Integrate Okta Org2Org with Okta.

On-prem Connector for SAP Netweaver ABAP supports more attributes

Okta On-prem Connector now supports more user attributes, which enables better integration between Okta and SAP Netweaver ABAP.

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 MFA Credential Provider for Windows, version 1.4.3

This version includes bug fixes and security enhancements. See Okta MFA Credential Provider for Windows version history.

Okta LDAP agent, version 5.23.0

This version of the agent includes security enhancements.

Discover inactive users and review admin access

You can now use preconfigured campaigns to discover inactive users who are assigned to apps and review their admin access. Preconfigured campaigns are a set of ready-to-use campaigns where Okta presets some default settings. See Access Certifications for admin roles.

Update to Access Certification reports availability

The Past Campaign Details and Past Campaign Summary reports are now available for campaigns that govern admin roles even if you're not subscribed to Okta Identity Governance.

Updated Japanese translations

The Admin Dashboard, Administrator pages, and Admin Console search now provide updated Japanese translations.

Improved group search functionality

You can now search for groups whose names or descriptions contain specified text. This makes it easier to find a group when you don't recall its exact name.

Improved user search functionality

You can now search for users whose names, email addresses, or usernames contain specified text, making it easier to do user lookups and add users to groups.

Identity Security Posture Management functionality in the OIN catalog

The Okta Integration Network page now provides Identity Security Posture Management functionality. When you select it, the OIN catalog displays only the apps with Identity Security Posture Management functionality.

New default reauthentication frequency for new authentication policy rules

The default reauthentication frequency has been changed to one hour for the Prompt for password authentication and Prompt for all other factors of authentication options on the authentication policy rule page. This applies by default to new rules with Time since last sign in selected. See Add an authentication policy rule.

Realms for Workforce

Realms allow you to unlock greater flexibility in managing and delegating the management of your distinct user populations within a single Okta org. See Manage realms.

ITP detections for AMFA orgs

All Adaptive MFA orgs now benefit from ITP detections on sessions and entity users when these are detected on directly assigned super admins. These detection events are actionable using Workflows. This feature aligns with the Okta Secure Identity Commitment. See Risk scoring.

Granular account linking for certain identity providers is GA

When admins link users from SAML and OIDC identity providers, they can now exclude specific users and admins. This improves security by allowing admins to configure granular access control scenarios. See Add a SAML Identity Provider.

OIDC identity providers now support group sync

OpenID Connect identity providers (IdPs) now support full group sync and adding a user to a group that they don't already belong to. A user who authenticates with an external IdP is added to all available groups when Full sync of groups is enabled. The user is added to any groups that they don't already belong to when Add user to missing groups is enabled. This allows you to specify certain groups that users should be added to. See Generic OpenID Connect.

Global token revocation for wizard SAML and OIDC apps

Universal Logout clears sessions and tokens for wizard SAML and OIDC apps. This enhancement extends Universal Logout functionality to more types of apps and provides greater flexibility to admins.

Entitlement management for Microsoft Office 365

The Microsoft Office 365 app now supports entitlement management. See Apps with entitlement support

Early Access

Custom remediation for device assurance

You can now display custom remediation instructions to users when authentication fails due to unsuccessful device posture checks with Okta Verify or Chrome Device Trust. See Configure custom remediation instructions for device assurance.

Entitlement support for disconnected apps

Disconnected apps are apps that aren't LCM integrated within Okta. This feature allows you to use CSV files to import users and entitlements into Okta from disconnected apps. This enables consistent governance and compliance across all apps, including those not fully integrated with Okta. See Import user entitlements from CSV.

New look and feel in the Admin Console

The Admin Console now provides a new look and feel, including redesigned side and top navigation menus and the addition of a gray background.

New identity verification providers added

Okta now supports using Incode and CLEAR Verified as identity providers. This increases the number of identity verification vendors (IDVs) you can use to verify the identity of your users when they onboard or reset their account. See Add an identity verification vendor as an identity provider.

Bypass ASN binding with the Default Exempt IP Zone

The ASN binding feature associates admins with the IP address that they signed in from. If the IP changes during a session, the admin is signed out of Okta, and an event appears in the System Log. To bypass IP and ASN binding, you can add the client IP to the Default Exempt IP Zone. See IP exempt zone.

App Switcher for Okta first-party apps

The End-User Dashboard, Admin Console, and Workflows Console now have an App Switcher that helps admins quickly navigate between their assigned Okta apps. Note that you must enable the Unified look and feel for Okta Admin Console and Unified look and feel for Okta Dashboard Early Access features for the App Switcher to appear.

New look and feel in the End-User Dashboard

The End-User Dashboard now provides a new look and feel, including redesigned side and top navigation menus and the addition of a gray background.

New attributes in Universal Sync

The following attributes are now supported in Universal Sync: AuthOrig, DLMemRejectPerms, DLMemSubmitPerms, and UnauthOrig.

Okta-to-Okta claims sharing enhancement

Okta-to-Okta claims sharing now supports the use of the smart card authenticator and Active Directory for Single Sign-On. This removes the need for users to authenticate with a service provider when they've already authenticated to an Okta org. See Add a SAML Identity Provider.

Verify an SSF Stream

Okta SSF Transmitter now supports the verification endpoint to enable receivers to request verification events and validate the end-to-end delivery between the transmitter and receiver. The SSF Transmitter verification events claim structure is also now compliant with the OpenID Shared Signals Framework ID3 spec.

  • New requests now automatically expire after 60 consecutive days of inactivity. Completing a task, answering a question, or leaving a message on a request resets the 60-day expiration period. Any requests created before the general availability of this feature expire after 60 days of inactivity (on or around April 7, 2025).

  • Notifications about expiring requests are sent at 30 days, 5 days, and 1 day before the request expires.

  • The user setting to receive daily reminders about overdue tasks and requests is no longer available. It is replaced by the new request expiration notifications.

Universal Logout for Cerby app

Cerby now supports Universal Logout. This enables admins to automatically sign users out of this app when Universal Logout is triggered.

New look and feel in Access Certifications

In Access Certifications, the Access Certification Reviews app located on your dashboard now has a new look and feel, including a restyled top navigation bar and the addition of a gray background.

Authentication method chain options

The Pin or biometric verification label for authentication method chains on the authentication policy rule page has been changed to User interaction. See Authentication method chain.

New System Log attribute

The application.policy.sign_on.deny_access System Log event now shows the app instance ID. This makes it easier to identify the affected app and enables resource-based filtering for the event.

New System Log attributes

The PolicyName field was added to the policy.evaluate_sign_on System Log event. This change makes it easier for admins to identify the policy that was involved in user sign-in attempts.

Delete users with granular deprovisioning in Microsoft Office 365

You can now delete users as part of the deprovisioning process in Office 365. See Deprovisioning options for Office 365.

RADIUS push notifications

The operating system is no longer included in RADIUS push notifications. Customers can contact Okta Support if they need to display this information.

Support for importing Active Directory group descriptions

The descriptions of groups sourced from Active Directory now use their description from AD. These replace any previous descriptions of AD-sourced groups in Okta, which used a pretty-printed version of the distinguished name (DN) instead.

New Hyperdrive agent version

This version includes the Microsoft Edge WebView2 control. See Okta Hyperdrive agent version history.

Authentication policy rule page updated

The If Okta FastPass is used section of the the authentication policy rule page has been removed. Users can select the Require user interaction option in the Possession factor constraints are section instead. See Add an authentication policy rule.

Polling for Agentless Desktop Single Sign-on and Integrated Windows Authentication

Agentless Desktop Single Sign-on (ADSSO) and Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) authentication sessions now include polling to reduce the likelihood of service disruptions when bandwidth use peaks. For users authenticating with ADSSO or IWA during peak use periods, this change increases the likelihood that a server will be available to process their authentication request.

Case numbers for impersonation events

When an org grants impersonation for a support case, the case number now appears in the System Log. See Give access to Okta Support.

System Log event for public client app admins

When an admin selects the Automatically assign the super admin role to all newly created public client apps checkbox on the Account page, the System Log now records an event.

Step-up authentication for Office 365

This enhancement enables customers to dynamically prompt for Okta MFA when needed, without having MFA configured in the authentication policy. See Use Okta MFA for Azure Active Directory.

ADSSO authentication parameters

When a state token is used, Okta removes the fromURI parameter from the ADSSO authentication POST request.

Enforce Number Challenge for Desktop MFA

You can now enforce number challenge on all push notifications for Desktop MFA, regardless of the authentication policy. See Configure access policies.

Improved password reset process for Active Directory-sourced users

The password reset process now sends the password update and verification requests to the same Active Directory agent to avoid replication delay.

Role-based access control now available

As Okta Workflows can make comprehensive changes both inside Okta and out to other connected SaaS apps, access to Workflows was previously restricted to Okta super admins. While this regulation enhanced the security of Okta Workflows, it limited the number of users, restricted the scalability of Okta Workflows, and reduced overall value to customers.

With role-based access control (RBAC), you can now assign Workflows privileges to more users without granting unnecessary access.

To support this feature, three new roles are available:

  • Workflows Administrator: For full-access administration within Okta Workflows only
  • Workflows Auditor: For compliance management with read-only access
  • Connection Manager: For securely handling accounts and credentials

RBAC allows customers to expand the use of Okta Workflows beyond super admins, enabling more team members to build, run, and manage Workflows securely and efficiently.

See Access Control.

There are four new event types that record the RBAC feature activity in the Okta System Log:

  • workflows.user.role.user.add
  • workflows.user.role.user.remove
  • workflows.user.role.group.add
  • workflows.user.role.group.remove

See the Event Types API.

Early Access

Authentication claims sharing between Okta orgs

Authentication claims sharing allows an admin to configure their Okta org to trust claims from IdPs during SSO. Sharing claims also allows Okta to interpret the authentication context from an IdP. This helps eliminate duplicate factor challenges during user authentication and helps improve security posture. See Add a SAML Identity Provider.

Custom admin role for Okta Device Access

You can now configure custom admin roles to view and manage Okta Device Access functionality. This enhancement enables IT teams to designate admins who can effectively manage Okta Device Access capabilities without requiring them to have the most elevated security permissions. See Desktop MFA recovery .

On-prem Connector for SAP Netweaver ABAP

On-prem Connector for SAP NetWeaver ABAP provides an out-of-the-box solution that connects SAP on-premises apps with Okta Identity Governance. It enables the discovery, visibility, and management of SAP entitlements (roles) directly in Okta. This integration enhances security, saves time, and simplifies governance by eliminating the need for custom integrations and by streamlining entitlement management. See On-prem Connector for SAP Netweaver ABAP.

Step-up authentication for updating policies

Okta prompts for step-up authentication when admins perform protected actions in the Admin Console, like updating sign-on policies. The changes are only allowed after the admin authenticates successfully. This feature enhances org security by allowing admins to require MFA before performing protected actions. See Protected actions in the Admin Console.

Track MFA abandonment in the System Log

You can now monitor abandoned MFA attempts in the System Log using the user.authentication.auth_via_mfa event. The event now has two additional statuses for the event outcome:

  • UNANSWERED: MFA prompt was abandoned, but the user eventually signed in using another authenticator.
  • ABANDONED: MFA prompt was abandoned and the user couldn't sign in. See Track MFA abandonment in the System Log
