Dunham - Published: Jul 28, 2023 - Type: Tutorial This workshop teaches how to use Okta’s Terraform provider to manage users and groups in an Okta Organization while practicing beginner and intermediate Terraform skills. It explains desired-state configuration, where terraform plan predicts changes and terraform apply makes them, and describes how providers, resources, variables, data sources, and the terraform.tfstate file fit into a project. The exercises cover provider setup with a client ID and private key, secret handling, creating and assigning users and groups, importing resources, refactoring files, formatting code, and controlling API usage. It also uses errors and configuration drift to show how Terraform and Okta can disagree, then compares importing manual changes with applying Terraform’s declared state. The workshop concludes with cleanup through terraform destroy and points to further provider and Terraform documentation. ### [How to Get Going with the On](https://yomu.fyi/post/how-to-get-going-with-the-on.md) - Company: [Okta](https://yomu.fyi/company/okta.md) - Author: Alisa Duncan - Published: Jul 27, 2023 - Type: Tutorial This workshop setup guide prepares a minimal Todo SaaS application for a series of enterprise-readiness workshops, while warning that the base app is not production quality and has intentional security shortcomings. It uses a React frontend, an Express API written in TypeScript, SQLite persistence, Prisma for ORM and database visualization, and an Nx workspace for shared project commands. Developers install Node.js v18 or higher, obtain the repository, run npm ci, seed two users with npm run init-db, and start the application with npm start. The frontend runs on localhost:3000, the API on localhost:3333, and Prisma Studio on localhost:5555 for inspecting users and todos. The guide concludes by directing developers to workshops covering OpenID Connect, SCIM, Terraform, Okta Workflows, and cross-application sign-out. ### [How to Take Your Enterprise](https://yomu.fyi/post/how-to-take-your-enterprise.md) - Company: [Okta](https://yomu.fyi/company/okta.md) - Author: Aaron Parecki - Published: Jun 29, 2023 - Type: Announcement This installment in a Devday23 presentation series addresses how to move an enterprise-ready SaaS application beyond its MVP. It focuses on the functionality needed to help an application stand out to enterprise customers, including user provisioning and automation that can scale. The stated goal is to support growth from a working MVP toward enterprise adoption. Aaron Parecki shared material on Okta Workflows, provisioning, SaaS application maturity, and SCIM, with links to a SCIM developer video and Workflow Connector Builder tutorials. The broader series also points to upcoming coverage of authentication mechanisms and deployment automation, positioning enterprise readiness as an ongoing progression rather than a single feature. ### [How to Build an Enterprise](https://yomu.fyi/post/how-to-build-an-enterprise.md) - Company: [Okta](https://yomu.fyi/company/okta.md) - Author: Team Okta - Published: Jun 27, 2023 - Type: Announcement Enterprise customers want employees to use a centralized authentication process called Single Sign On (SSO). This post introduces an enterprise-ready Devday23 presentation series focused on what enterprise readiness means, what enterprises look for, and how to build an enterprise-ready MVP SaaS application. Its identity-focused material explains the role of SSO in SaaS applications and points readers to Dan Marma, Product Acceleration Principal Architect, for the “Single Sign On (SSO) in your SaaS applications” presentation. The series will also cover moving an application beyond identity MVP toward elevated authentication mechanisms in later posts. It invites questions and continued content through Twitter and YouTube. ### [How to Add Authentication to .NET MAUI Apps](https://yomu.fyi/post/how-to-add-authentication-to-net-maui-apps.md) - Company: [Okta](https://yomu.fyi/company/okta.md) - Author: Laura Rodríguez - Published: Jun 21, 2023 - Type: Tutorial This tutorial shows how to add Okta-based authentication to a .NET MAUI application, covering project setup, OpenID Connect configuration, sign-in, sign-out, and platform integration. It uses IdentityModel.OidcClient, an OktaClient wrapper, an OktaClientConfiguration class, and a WebBrowserAuthenticator implementation to connect the application to Okta’s browser-based authorization flow. The walkthrough creates a native OIDC client with the Okta CLI, registers redirect and logout URIs using myapp://callback, configures dependency injection, and updates the UI to display claims after login. For Android, it adds a WebAuthenticationCallbackActivity with an intent filter for the myapp scheme and enables Custom Tabs visibility in AndroidManifest.xml. The post includes troubleshooting for NuGet configuration and runtime-pack errors, but notes that the Okta CLI was deprecated and the original instructions no longer work exactly as written after the May 2025 plan change. ### [What Enterprises Look For: Devday23 Enterprise Customer Perspectives](https://yomu.fyi/post/what-enterprises-look-for-devday23-enterprise-customer-perspectives.md) - Company: [Okta](https://yomu.fyi/company/okta.md) - Author: Team Okta - Published: Jun 15, 2023 - Type: Announcement Moving a SaaS application from B2C or small-company B2B customers to enterprise customers raises questions about whether enterprise buyers have different expectations. This installment of the Devday23 enterprise-ready presentation series focuses on what enterprises look for when selecting SaaS applications, with particular attention to identity and how customers would use the application. The WIC Devday 23 virtual conference addressed the topic through a presentation by Jon Lehtinen, director for “Okta on Okta” products at Okta. The broader series also covers enterprise readiness, authentication considerations, user management, authentication mechanisms, building an enterprise-ready MVP SaaS app, and taking that app beyond MVP, while the supplied text does not provide the presentation’s specific answers or conclusions. ### [What Does It Mean to Be Enterprise Ready: Devday23 Keynote](https://yomu.fyi/post/what-does-it-mean-to-be-enterprise-ready-devday23-keynote.md) - Company: [Okta](https://yomu.fyi/company/okta.md) - Author: Team Okta - Published: Jun 13, 2023 - Type: Announcement What makes a SaaS application ready for enterprise customers when identity is involved? This Devday23 keynote introduces enterprise readiness as a concern spanning application security, user onboarding, scalable authentication, identity, user management, and automation. Arnab Bose, Chief Product Officer for Workforce Identity Cloud at Okta, leads the presentation’s “Why” and “What” questions in a half-day virtual conference hosted at WIC Devday 23. The keynote is positioned as the opening of a series covering enterprise customer expectations, building an enterprise-ready MVP, moving beyond MVP, authentication considerations, user management, and stronger authentication mechanisms; a related “Setting the Bar for Enterprise-Grade Identity” whitepaper provides benchmarks for secure SaaS management. ### [Unlock Identity Expertise with Our New Developer Podcast!](https://yomu.fyi/post/unlock-identity-expertise-with-our-new-developer-podcast.md) - Company: [Okta](https://yomu.fyi/company/okta.md) - Author: E.

A further episode discusses building SaaS for enterprise customers, including the “Enterprise-Ready MVP,” broadening “Okta Developers” to people building code for Okta customers, and extreme enterprise use cases. Audio is available on Casted, while new content and feedback are supported through social channels, YouTube, and comments on the developer forum. ### [Supporting Devs Through Advocacy](https://yomu.fyi/post/supporting-devs-through-advocacy.md) - Company: [Okta](https://yomu.fyi/company/okta.md) - Author: Semona Igama - Published: Jun 6, 2023 - Type: Announcement Semona describes her transition from Okta Developer Support Engineer to Developer Advocate after three years supporting admins, developers, Independent Software Vendors, and partners integrating with Okta workforce products. Her earlier work included OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, external and social identity providers, SCIM, OIN App Submission, Okta SDKs, the Okta Sign-in Widget, Token Inline Hooks, and Terraform, while cross-functional alliances connected her with Customer Success, Product, Engineering, Solutions Engineering, and Architects. She saw support cases as a way to understand developer problems and collect feedback that could inform improvements. In advocacy, she plans to use that experience to help developers avoid common problems, build community, learn with developers, and advocate for Okta developer community needs, with Python as her favorite programming language.
