I tried creating a user using Okta CSV Integration
Introduction
This time, I will explain the operation and use cases when using Okta 's CSV Integration function.
Read this blog to understand Okta 's flexibility. Please use it as an IDaaS examination material for companies with multiple group companies.
What is CSV Integration?
The CSV Integration function is a function that periodically acquires CSV information that is the master of the account and creates / updates / deletes Okta users.
This method is often used by customers whose corporate user information is managed by personnel systems.
A specific image is shown below.
As an image,
- Generate a CSV file containing user information from the HR system or internal DB
- Save CSV file to on-premise server
- The Okta Provisiong Agent installed on the on-premises server reads the information from the CSV file
- Create an account on Okta
From here, we will introduce actual use cases and how to set them up.
Use Case
This time, we will describe it assuming that all user information of multiple group companies will be synchronized with Okta.
The configuration is as follows.
Configuration image
- Output a CSV file from each company's DB and store it on the on-premise server
- Okta Provisioning Agent periodically goes to read CSV file
- Synchronize user information to Okta

Okta allows importing users from multiple identity sources, so the above configuration is possible.
