Removing Data Barriers

Okta continuously improves administration features. Recent additions include new email notification options for administrative functions. These additions are helpful but customers often have more refined needs that require some development effort. Fortunately, the Okta system log API provides access to nearly any event you might want to monitor or use to extend reporting processes that add value in your organization and enhance information transparency.
While the Okta API provides integration capabilities for several security information and event management (SIEM) products, those solutions are generally focused on threat analysis and general monitoring.

Get and Update Okta Application Credentials for Assigned User

Much of my work lately involves interacting with the Okta API. It is a well documented API for those familiar with RESTful API development in their language of choice. If that doesn’t describe you (yet) then hopefully this post will help those of you with some R programming knowledge.
Scenario: You want to find out which credential a particular Okta user profile is using when accessing a specfic Okta application and change a credential value (in this example ‘userName’) if the current value doesn’t match the desired value.
