oder Best Practices

** Verwenden Sie API Tokens Sicher**: Speichern Sie API-Token in Umgebungsvariablen oder sichern Sie Gewölbe, nie Hardcode sie in Skripten oder verpflichten Sie sich zur Versionskontrolle
**Implementieren Sie die Grenzwerte*: Okta erzwingt Ratenlimits (Varies by endpoint). Ergänzen exponentielle Rückmeldung und Respekt X-Rate-Limit-* Kopfzeilen zur Vermeidung von Drosselung
**MFA für alle Benutzer* aktivieren: Multi-Faktor-Authentifizierung für alle Benutzer, insbesondere Administratoren und privilegierte Konten, um die Sicherheit zu verbessern
Benutze Gruppen für Access Management: Zuordnung von Anträgen und Berechtigungen an Gruppen und nicht an einzelne Benutzer für eine einfachere Verwaltung und Konsistenz
Implementieren Sie Least Privilege: Geben Sie den Benutzern nur die für ihre Rolle erforderlichen Mindestberechtigungen zu. Regelmäßig prüfen und unnötigen Zugriff entfernen
**Monitor System Logs*: Regelmäßige Bewertung Okta-Systemprotokolle für verdächtige Aktivitäten, fehlgeschlagene Login-Ansätze und unautorisierte Zugriffsmuster
** Automatisches Lifecycle Management*: Verwenden Sie Okta Workflows oder APIs, um Benutzervorsorge, Bereitstellung und Zugriffsbewertungen zu automatisieren, um manuelle Fehler zu reduzieren
**Test in Developer Environment*: Testen Sie Konfigurationsänderungen, Integrationen und Skripte in einer Entwicklung Okta org vor dem Einsatz in der Produktion
**Document Custom Integrations*: Erhalten Sie gründliche Dokumentation von benutzerdefinierten API-Integrationen, Webhooks und Automatisierungsskripten für Team-Wissensaustausch
Implementieren Sie Session Policies: Konfigurieren Sie entsprechende Session-Timeouts und Ruhezeiten basierend auf Sicherheitsanforderungen und Benutzererfahrungsanforderungen
**Regular Security Audits*: vierteljährliche Bewertungen von Benutzerzugriffen, Anwendungszuweisungen, Gruppenmitgliedschaften und Richtlinienkonfigurationen

Fehlerbehebung

Issue	Solution
401 Unauthorized Error	Verify API token is valid and not expired. Check token has appropriate scopes: INLINE_CODE_65
429 Rate Limit Exceeded	Implement exponential backoff. Check INLINE_CODE_66 header for reset time. Reduce request frequency or contact Okta to increase limits
User Cannot Login	Check user status: INLINE_CODE_67. Verify account is ACTIVE, not SUSPENDED or LOCKED_OUT. Unlock if needed: INLINE_CODE_68
MFA Factor Not Working	Reset MFA factors: INLINE_CODE_69. User must re-enroll
Application Not Appearing	Verify user is assigned to application: INLINE_CODE_70. Check application is ACTIVE
AD/LDAP Agent Not Syncing	Check agent service status. Review logs at INLINE_CODE_71 (Linux) or INLINE_CODE_72 (Windows). Verify network connectivity and credentials
SSO Integration Failing	Verify SAML/OIDC configuration. Check certificate validity, ACS URL, and entity ID. Use Okta's SAML debugger or browser developer tools to inspect authentication flow
API Returns Empty Results	Check query syntax and filters. Verify pagination with INLINE_CODE_73 and INLINE_CODE_74 parameters: INLINE_CODE_75
Password Reset Email Not Sent	Verify email settings in Okta admin console. Check user's email address is valid. Review email server logs and Okta system logs for delivery failures
Session Timeout Issues	Die Einstellungen der Sitzungsrichtlinien in der Okta-Admin-Konsole überprüfen. Passen Sie Ruhezeit und maximale Sitzungsdauer an. Betrachten Sie die Umsetzung von Aktualisieren Token Rotation für langlebige Sitzungen
