Okta Secret Template for RPC

Overview

This document briefly discusses using Secret Server Remote Password Changing (RPC) for an Okta Account. With Remote Password Changing (RPC), secrets can automatically change remote account passwords when a secret expires, either immediately or on a defined schedule. In addition, the new passwords’ strengths and other qualities are completely configurable. See the Password Changer List for a complete list of available password changers.

Okta is a leading identity management platform that enables organizations to securely connect their employees, partners, and customers with the right technology resources. For instructions on how to set up an Okta Account and arrange its secret template, see Integrating Okta RPC with Secret Server

Assigning a Password Changer to a Secret Template

After completing the RPC setup, you can manage the built-in secret templates. Each secret template is application specific and is preconfigured with the password changer best suited to it. For Okta, we want the Okta Account template.

You can view and modify secret templates in the Secret Server administration panel. See Creating or Editing Secret Templates for more on the available options. Ensure that the secret template is in the Active status. See Activating and Deactivating Templates for details.

To navigate to an Okta Account secret template:

  1. Go to Administration > Secret Server. The Secrets Administration page will be displayed.

  2. In the Core Actions section, click Secret Templates. The list of available templates will be displayed.

  3. Select an Okta Account secret template and then access the Mapping tab.

You can check what secret template conforms to the selected RPC. The screenshot below shows that the Okta Account RPC conforms to the selected secret template. It is possible to assign several password changers to one secret template. For more information, see Assigning a Password Changer to a Secret Template.

Secret templates determine the fields, launchers, and the remote password changer for secrets. To utilize the Okta Account template on a secret, see Managing Secrets
