# Okta

Okta connects to Cakewalk with your Okta domain and an API token you create in Okta. The shared flow in [Connecting an HRIS](/docs/platform-overview/connections-and-integrations/connecting-an-hris.md) covers what syncs and what happens after you save; this page covers the Okta side.

### ✅ Before You Start

* You need a user who is an Administrator in your organization's Okta account to complete the setup.
* To check: log in to Okta. If you cannot see the **Admin** menu in the top right, you are not an Administrator.

### 🛠 Connect

1. In Cakewalk, go to **Settings → Data Sources → Users** and select Okta.
2. In the top right corner of your company's Okta home page, click **Admin**.
3. Click the dropdown arrow in the top right where your email appears, hover over `your-company.okta.com` to copy the value and paste it into the connection flow.
4. In the left menu, navigate to **Security > API**.
5. Under **Tokens**, press **Create token** and enter a name for your token.
6. Copy the **Token Value** and paste it into the connection flow.

The first sync starts immediately. Sync details and cadence: [Connecting an HRIS](/docs/platform-overview/connections-and-integrations/connecting-an-hris.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.cakewalk.security/docs/platform-overview/connections-and-integrations/identity-sources/okta.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
