User ID for authentication

Hi,

We are using Okta in our organization for the authentication of an application. We are currently using the e-mail ID linked with the AD for login. However, we would like to use the userID of the user for login. Is it possible to change the log in for this particular application? Or the change will be applied to all the applications that are integrated with our Okta account right now?

Thanks,
Phani.

Hi @phanichekuri

The username used for signing in to the application can be changed in Okta by going to Admin >> Directory >> Profile Editor >> your application >> Mappings >> Okta to your application.

Hi Dragos,

  Thanks for your reply. Right now that attribute is set to  "active_directory_4f18i63.samAccountName". Still, the app login is working only with e-mail ID which is the Okta username. I was told since the app is logging in through Okta we'll end up using Okta username and if we are to use username we should end up changing the Okta username. Is it right?

Thanks,
Phani.
