Can an Okta Admin configure the Okta LDAP interface as a profile source?

The correct response indicates that an Okta Admin cannot configure the Okta LDAP interface as a profile source. This is due to the fact that the Okta LDAP interface primarily functions as a way to connect Okta to existing LDAP directories for authentication purposes, rather than serving as a source of profiles or user data.

In this context, the LDAP interface enables users to authenticate using their existing LDAP credentials, allowing organizations to leverage their pre-existing directories without the need to replicate user information within Okta. This limits the role of the LDAP interface strictly to authentication, not to act as a profile source from which to pull user attributes or information.

This understanding clarifies why the other options cannot hold true. For instance, the suggestions indicating that it can be used in some capacity—either as a profile source, for specific applications, or only under advanced configurations—misinterpret the fundamental capabilities of the Okta LDAP interface. Therefore, recognizing it strictly as an authentication bridge clarifies its limitations as a profile source for user data.
