Which of the following is required for the Okta Active Directory Agent to function properly?

The correct answer is related to the need for correct configurations for LDAP for the Okta Active Directory Agent to function properly. The Okta Active Directory Agent integrates with Active Directory (AD) to securely synchronize user data between Okta and your on-premises AD environment.

LDAP, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is the protocol used by the agent to communicate with Active Directory. Therefore, proper configuration of LDAP settings is essential to ensure that the agent can correctly query and modify user data in AD. This includes ensuring that the agent can authenticate to the domain, as well as correctly specifying the attributes and the structure of the AD you are working with. Misconfiguration could lead to synchronization issues, where users may not be properly updated or recognized in Okta, rendering the integration ineffective.

The other options touch on various aspects of Active Directory operations; however, they do not directly address the specific required configuration for the agent’s operation with Okta. Access requirements to all domain users or having a backup domain controller may be relevant under certain circumstances but are not critical for the basic functionality of the Okta agent, which hinges on correctly set up LDAP. Additionally, installing the agent on a non-domain machine is not a standard requirement; typically, it is installed on a
