API Access Management
So far in this book, we’ve looked at Okta’s fundamental functionality. When we looked at giving users access, it was to applications. In this chapter, we’re taking a step into more advanced features, such as the application programming interface (API) management of Okta and access to the APIs of external applications. This can be for an organization or Okta’s APIs, as well as access to self-developed OpenID Connect (OIDC) applications. This is not a feature that every organization needs, but it’s a feature that gives that little extra to the organization that needs it.
In this chapter, we will look at the following:
- API terminology
- Managing Okta with APIs
- API access management fundamentals
- API access administration
