Add an Identity Verification vendor as Identity Provider
Early Access release. See Enable self-service features.
Use the Identity Verification vendor (IDV) Persona as an Identity Provider (IdP) within Okta. Performing an identity verification request allows you to confirm a user's identity. It verifies their government-issued identity document and asks them to take a selfie to satisfy a liveness check.
Identity Verification adds an extra layer of phishing-resistance in your org. It allows you to ensure that the right user is onboarding or resetting their account.
Before you begin
- You can't use an Identity Verification IdP for routing rules.
- Ensure your Okta org URLs are added to the IDV vendor's allow list.
- If the IDV vendor rejects Okta's request, check the vendor's event log for troubleshooting.
Start this task
- In the Admin Console, go to .
- Click Add identity provider.
-
Select the IDV vendor, and click Next. The Configure Identity Verification page opens.
-
On the page, enter the details of the vendor: Name, API key, and Inquiry template ID.
-
Optional. Set up fuzzy matching in the IDV vendor. See your vendor's documentation. Okta passes the First Name and Last Name attributes from Universal Directory to the vendor.
-
Click Submit. The IDV vendor appears in the list on the Identity Providers page.
To update the IDV vendor IdP, go to .
