Overview
This guide provides the workflow for registering an Okta organization with Druva, enabling encryption keys, and managing backup domains within the Druva Cloud Platform.
Prerequisites and Feature Activation
Before starting, verify these conditions:
Feature Status: If "Okta" is not visible in the menu, contact Druva Support to enable Okta Data Protection for your account.
Required Data: You must have the Okta Domain, Client ID, and Client Secret generated from your Okta Admin Console.
Access: Administrative access to the Druva Cloud Platform Console is required.
Authorize the Druva Okta App
To begin, you must register your Okta organization with Druva by providing the necessary authorization credentials.
Log in to the Druva Cloud Platform Console.
Click the hamburger menu (icon) on the top left > All Services > Okta.
Click Authorize on the "Get started with Okta Data Protection" page.
4. Enter the connection credentials:
Okta Domain: The domain URL of your Okta organization (e.g., https://company_name.okta.com).
Client ID: The unique Client ID generated for the Druva app in Okta.
Client Secret: The corresponding Client Secret.
5. Click Authorize to establish the connection.
Enable Cloud Key Management
Once the authorization is successful, you will be prompted to enable the Cloud Key Management System.
Toggle the switch to Enable Cloud Key Management System and click Save.
Note: Scheduled activities (like backups) require access to the data encryption key. While you can click Skip for now, scheduled backups will not start until this is enabled. Druva recommends enabling it immediately to ensure seamless protection.
Review backup details
Once you have authorized the app and configured your keys, the Configure Backup screen will appear. Verify the details and click Save.
Note: These fields are read-only. Contact support for assistance.
Managing your Domains
Once authorized, your organizations will appear in the Domains list, serving as a centralized dashboard to monitor and manage all registered Okta instances.
Adding New Domain
To protect an additional Okta organization, click the Add New Domain button. In the resulting dialog, enter the required Okta Domain, Client ID, and Client Secret, then click Authorize to establish the connection.
Understanding the Domain Card
Each registered domain displays critical status information at a glance:
Indicator | Meaning |
Storage Region | The AWS region where backup data resides. |
Backup Enabled |
|
App Status | Current connectivity between Druva and Okta. |
Last Backup Status | Indicates the outcome of the most recent backup job.
|
Administrative Actions
By clicking the three-dot menu (⋮) on a domain card, you can perform the following administrative tasks:
Re-Authorize: Use this if your Client Secret has expired or if you need to update connection credentials without deleting the domain history.
Disable Backup: Temporarily halt scheduled backup jobs for this specific domain.
Running a Manual Backup or Restore
If you need to perform an immediate action outside of the automated schedule:
Backup Now: Click this button on the domain card to trigger an immediate backup job.
Restore: Click this to begin the recovery process for your Okta objects.
You can monitor the real-time progress of any manual or scheduled backup by clicking Jobs in the left-hand sidebar.
