Program Overview: What is Okta?
Okta is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for identity engineers, IT admins, and security teams deploying workforce identity. Participants learn identity fundamentals with Okta architecture, Universal Directory and lifecycle management, SSO integration, MFA policies, and API access with workflows. The program builds the skills to run identity properly on Okta.
Training is hands-on inside a live Okta tenant. Participants configure Universal Directory profiles, wire up SSO for real applications, and build lifecycle workflows from hire to exit in guided labs. Instructors coach the team through MFA policy design, API access management, and troubleshooting identity issues, reviewing every configuration with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone where each team deploys a complete workforce identity on Okta.
Identity sprawl is a security liability: orphaned accounts, inconsistent MFA, and joiner-mover-leaver processes that depend on manual tickets. This program teaches teams to centralise identity on Okta, automate lifecycles, and enforce authentication policy everywhere. Every access decision becomes traceable.
The capstone is a working workforce identity deployment: a Universal Directory with lifecycle workflows handling hires, moves, and exits, SSO integrated across a real application set, MFA policies tuned by risk level, and API access management wired for machine identities. Your team keeps the tenant configuration as their reference build for rolling Okta out company-wide.
Across 20 hours, the program moves from identity fundamentals into deep hands-on work: Universal Directory design, HR-driven provisioning, SAML and OIDC app integrations, adaptive MFA policies, API access management, and no-code Workflows. The capstone asks each team to design and build a complete workforce identity solution for a fictional company and defend it in an instructor review.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Running Okta follows identity basics, so administrators understand SSO, MFA and lifecycle before configuring the platform. Once Okta is in place, your team adds identity governance and then works toward zero trust, where identity becomes the main access control.

Build Okta Identity Workflows With Verified Lifecycle and Access Behavior

Participants structure directory data, automate lifecycle changes, and integrate applications before testing authentication and API controls. The final solution is reviewed for appropriate access, reliable joiner and leaver behavior, and evidence that configured workflows behave as intended.
- Step 01
Consult
We assess identity responsibilities and directory familiarity to identify gaps in lifecycle automation, SAML and OIDC integration, adaptive authentication, API access, and workflow design.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish Okta architecture before Universal Directory and lifecycle management, then connect SSO applications, MFA, APIs, and Workflows in the workforce identity capstone.
- Step 03
Align
We align Okta and identity-integration expertise with administrators, security teams, and developers, adapting instruction to their applications, directories, and prior identity knowledge.
- Step 04
Customize
Fictional HR feeds, test users, and lab applications reflect relevant workforce patterns, enabling tailored joiner and leaver scenarios without changing operational accounts or authentication policies.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants build group rules, verify SSO, test MFA policies, and automate onboarding, receiving feedback on provisioning consistency, access boundaries, and the behavior of lifecycle changes.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the Okta solution for verified provisioning and deprovisioning, working application sign-on, justified authentication policies, and documented API and workflow controls supported by tests.
