How to manage the Linux user in okta

Questions SCIM
1

Hi Team,

Greeting! Previously I can setup the on-premises active directory to manage my windows users. That’ great!
Now I have some daemon jobs or cronjobs running on the Linux machines. So how can I manage those Linux users? Is there any service principal in okta like Azure AD provided?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Lyle Xu

Hi @Lyle,

I’d recommend : Okta’s Advanced Server Access product (https://www.okta.com/products/advanced-server-access/)

Also, Okta supports provisioning to/from linux using On Premise Connector (https://support.okta.com/help/articles/Knowledge_Article/46749316-On-Premises-Provisioning-Deployment-Guide) with a custom SCIM connector. For authentication to linux servers, if you’re not using Okta’s ASA, you can use RADIUS integration.

Thank you.
