The chapters also walk you through Okta Workflows, low-/no-code automation functionalities, and custom API possibilities used to improve lifecycle management. Finally, you’ll delve into API access auditing and management, where you’ll discover how to leverage Advanced Server Access (ASA) for your cloud servers.

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.

The book positions itself as a thorough manual for anyone wishing to learn more about or expand upon their comprehension of Okta's identity and access management solutions. The introductory chapters and the well-organized table of topics point to a natural progression from basic ideas to more complex functionality.Robust Foundation: For readers who are unfamiliar with IAM, the book begins with an overview of the fundamentals. This foundation in fundamental ideas makes it easier to understand Okta's unique features and tools.Every topic has a step by step explanation with pictures for hands on work.Extensive Coverage: A broad spectrum of Okta functions, including as automation, lifecycle management, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, directory administration, and API access management, seem to be covered in the book. This range of subjects guarantees that customers may get a comprehensive grasp of Okta's capabilities.Overall, the book is great and will surely look out for more.
