What must be correctly configured for Just-in-time provisioning to function with Active Directory in Okta?

For Just-in-time provisioning to function effectively with Active Directory in Okta, it is essential that the Active Directory domain is appropriately linked to the Okta environment. This linkage ensures that Okta can communicate with the Active Directory to authenticate users and provision their accounts in real-time as they attempt to access resources.

In the context of Just-in-time provisioning, when a user logs in for the first time, Okta needs to locate the user's account information within the linked Active Directory domain. If the domain isn’t configured correctly, Okta will not have the capability to retrieve or create the user’s profile, which could result in authentication failures or errors during provisioning.

While selecting all organizational units (OUs) containing user groups can increase the chances of relevant user accounts being provisioned, the primary requirement for establishing Just-in-time provisioning is ensuring a correct linkage of the Active Directory domain. The other options pertain to user account attributes or requirements but do not address the foundational connectivity that enables Just-in-time provisioning to occur.
