Okta Integration Guide🔗

The following instructions are for configuring an Okta integration to facilitate log ingestion into Secureworks® Taegis™ XDR.

Note

Integrating Okta enables XDR to enhance monitoring data via Okta. It is not used for SSO into XDR.

Okta Requirements🔗

An active Okta account with the Super Admin role is required to create a service app.

Data Provided from Integration🔗

Normalized Data Out-of-the-Box Detections Vendor-Specific Detections
Okta CloudAudit Auth

Note

XDR detectors are not guaranteed to be triggered, even if a data source's logs are normalized to a schema associated with a given detector. However, you can create Custom Alert Rules to generate alerts based on normalized data from a data source.

Create the Service App in Okta🔗

Note

XDR supports OAuth 2.0 Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession (DPoP) tokens.

The following is required to add the Okta integration in XDR:

  • Integration name
  • Org URL — Refer to the vendor's documentation to find this value
  • Client ID
  • Key ID of the Public Key added for the Service App
  • RSA Private Key in PEM format

Procedure🔗

  1. Create a service app integration in the Okta Admin console.

    Create the Service App

  2. Use the following settings:

    • Client Authentication — Public Key / Private Key
    • Public Key Configuration — Save keys in Okta

  3. Generate a JWK key pair or use an existing key pair.

    Add the Key Pair

    Create the Key Pair

  4. Grant allowed scopes. The okta.logs.read scope is required.

    Okta API Scopes

    Grant the okta.logs.read Scope

  5. Assign admin role. The Report Administrator role is required.

    Grant the Required Role

    Grant the Required Role

Add Integration in XDR🔗

  1. From the Taegis Menu, select Integrations → Cloud APIs.

  2. Select Add an Integration from the top of the page.

    Add an Integration

  3. From the Optimized tab, select Okta.

    Create the Okta Integration

  4. Enter the following fields:

    • Integration Name — Any unique string
    • Org URL/Issuer URL — The URL instance of your Okta account

    Note

    The Org URL is found in your browser’s address bar after logging in to your Okta portal and takes the format https://xxxxxxxx.okta.com, https://xxxxxxxx.okta-emea.com, or https://xxxxxxxx.oktapreview.com.

  5. Upload the Private Key created in the previous section.

  6. Select Done. The Manage Integrations page displays with the successfully added Okta integration listed under Cloud API Integrations.

    Tip

    You can use the Integration Name defined in step 3 above to identify the integration within the Cloud API Integrations table.
