Great primer on Okta administration identity and access management (IAM) service.Learn Universal Directory- how to Integrate other directories and applications, set up groups, and manage policies. Manage Single Sign-On (SSO): Simplify user authentication by allowing them to sign in once and access multiple applications seamlessly. Multifactor Authentication (MFA) Enhances security by requiring additional verification methods beyond passwords. API Access Management helps control access to APIs to securely manage cloud servers effectively. Overall a great addition and required knowledge as more and more we move to the cloud.

There are not many Okta books out there let alone IAM, I purchased the first one in physical copy and have enjoyed it thoroughly. Now we have the 2nd edition that contains new additions to Okta OIE.Highly recommend for all level Okta users, I have been using these as refreshers for certifications as well as day to day on the job functions.

This book is a great resource as a step-by-step configuration guide of Okta. Although it does explain many basic principles of IAM, the reader should go into this book with a foundational understanding of IAM. This is a great admin guide because it explains the "why" behind the configurations and architecture of Okta, not just the how. Definitely recommend for Okta administrators!

I enjoyed the step by step guides and the use of real world use case examples. It addressed foundational topics such as Universal Directory, Single Sign On, Multifactor Authentication and Adaptive Multifactor Authentication, Lifecycle Automation and advanced topics such as Advanced Server Access, Workflows, Access Gateways, and API Gateways. I recommend this read for any IT professionals or entrepreneurs that would like to gain a better understanding of Okta’s and its capabilities and how to incorporate them into security infrastructure.
