Support of Okta on SSSD

[angelorobo]

When can SSSD support Okta?

Hi @angelorobo , thanks for opening this.

I'm André, the Product Owner for SSSD.

At the moment we don't have a committed ETA for Okta-specific enablement. Our near-term focus is to stabilize and fix bugs in the IdP/OIDC work we actively validate with Microsoft Entra ID and Keycloak (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-4990).

If you can share your requirements, it also helps us understand whether adding Okta to our validation matrix is worth prioritizing at this point or not.

Kindly

Hello Andre, Our use case is simple. We want to mimic the Entra ID use case to have users use Okta to log into Linux devices. Warm Regards, Angelo

Hi @angelorobo — thanks for the details.

We don't have a committed ETA for Okta support at this time, we will consider your interest for our internal prioritization for sure.

On a side note, if you (or anyone else) need this feature in RHEL, please let us know by opening a support ticket (RFE) via https://access.redhat.com/ and reference this GitHub issue.

@andreboscatto

If we open a ticket at RHEL, do we need a support subscription package? What do you suggest?

[andreboscatto]

@angelorobo if you are a RHEL customer and need Okta support in RHEL, please open a support case/RFE via https://access.redhat.com/ and reference this GitHub issue. Otherwise, this issue is the right place to track the upstream request.
