Integrate with Okta

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up an Okta Admin Read-Only Token as well as how to use it for authenticated Okta workflows within the Method Platform.

Summary: One of the ways that you can perform authenticated scans against your Okta instance is by utilizing Okta Admin Read-Only Tokens and allowing the Method Platform to use this scoped token while it is running a Tool that requires Okta credentials. By utilizing Okta Read-Only Tokens, you don’t need to worry about write access, and you are always in complete control over what access the Method Platform has within your environment.
