Okta simplifies how users connect to apps and boost your IT team’s efficiency. Modernize your IT with the complete, integrated Okta cloud identity solution.
First, get an Okta API key:
From the Okta dashboard screen, go to Security > API > Token or get there directly by visiting https://{{ your_okta_domain }}.okta.com/admin/access/api/tokens
Give the token a descriptive name, then click “Create token”
Copy the “Token Value” and click “OK, got it"
Next, create an Okta credential in Tines
Okta connect flow (recommended):
Login to your Tines tenant
Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"
Click "+ New Credential" and select "Okta" and follow the prompts to connect.
Manual credential creation
This method is not recommended as the Okta connect flow creates this credential with much less complexity. However, if you need to create this credential set manually, see the following steps below:
Login to your Tines tenant
Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click Credential
Click + New Credential and select Text
Input the values for the credential
Name: Required
Description: Optional
Value: API Key
Metadata: Select 'Enable metadata' and then paste in the following in Plain code mode. Replace 'yourdomain' with your Okta domain.
{
"domain": "yourdomain.okta.com"
}
Optional
Domains: Ensure this credential can only be used when making HTTP requests to specific domains.
Access: What other teams can also use the API
