Configuring an Okta API Token for ActZero

Estimated Time to Complete: 10 minutes

To enable the ActZero team to monitor your Okta logs, you need to complete a few steps to configure a connection from your Okta installation to ActZero.

To create the Okta API token required to configure the connector:

1. Log in to your Okta Admin Dashboard.

2. Click Security > API and the API page appears.

   

   Note: If you do not have the Security > API section available to you, ensure you have the appropriate role in Okta.

3. Click Create Token. The Create Token screen appears.

   

   Note: Okta API tokens inherit the permissions of the user that created them. So that all relevant Okta logs can be monitored, the API token must be created by a person that has Okta Read-Only Admin access. This level of access will enable retrieval of both Okta System logs and User logs. For more information about Okta roles and permissions, see https://help.okta.com/en-us/Content/Topics/Security/administrators-admin-comparison.htm

4. Enter the name ActZero Token or use your naming convention.

5. Click Create Token. The Token Value appears.

   

6. Copy the Token Value

7. Click OK, got it. The API page appears, with your new token listed
8. Use Keybase to securely encrypt and share the token you collected. You do not need to create a Keybase account.
