Does a device running macOS 10.12 "Sierra" qualify as a managed device for Okta?

A device running macOS 10.12 "Sierra" does not qualify as a managed device for Okta because Okta generally requires devices to be running more recent versions of macOS to meet the criteria for managed endpoints. Managed devices must comply with specific security and management policies set by an organization's IT department, which often include running the latest operating systems that support advanced security features.

In this context, being a managed device means the operating system must align with Okta's requirements for device compliance in terms of security updates, features, and support for integrations. Older versions of macOS, particularly those like Sierra, may lack these critical updates or features that ensure secure connections and interactions with Okta’s cloud services.

Thus, the answer indicates that, without being updated to a newer version, macOS 10.12 does not meet the necessary criteria for being considered a managed device in Okta.
