# Okta Automation and Collection

Configure Okta automation and collection for Cortex XDR.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**

This connector is only available for tenants that onboarded after July 26, 2026. For tenants that onboarded before this date, use Marketplace to access the standalone integration. For more information, see [Marketplace](/cortex-xdr-5.x/configure-cortex-xdr/marketplace.md).
{% endhint %}

Okta integrates with Cortex to help security teams understand and respond to identity threats as they emerge. It provides visibility into each user's groups, roles, and application access to streamline investigations, and enables identity-centric response actions such as suspending accounts, forcing password resets, and prompting step-up authentication.

This connector includes the following sub-capabilities (Marketplace integrations link to PAN DEV for more information):

* [Okta IAM](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/integrations/okta-iam): Integrate with Okta's Identity Access Management service to execute CRUD operations to employee lifecycle processes. This sub-capability is available with any active Cortex XSIAM, Cortex Cloud Posture Security, Cortex Cloud, Cortex Cloud Runtime Security, Cortex XDR, or Cortex AgentiX license.
* [Okta v2](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/integrations/okta-v2): Integration with Okta's cloud-based identity management service. This sub-capability is available with any active Cortex XSIAM, Cortex Cloud Posture Security, Cortex Cloud, Cortex Cloud Runtime Security, Cortex XDR, or Cortex AgentiX license.

To configure this connector, follow the steps outlined in the configuration wizard.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/configure-cortex-xdr/cortex-xdr-data-sources/vendor-specific-data-sources/okta/okta-automation-and-collection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
