Custom Field Mapping with Identity Connector for Okta

Alicia Allen Updated by Alicia Allen

Overview

Brivo's Identity Connector integration with Okta allows users to map Okta custom attributes with Brivo Access custom fields.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following required elements:

  • An active Okta account
  • An active Brivo Access account with an Identity Connector subscription.
  • A configured Okta integration in Brivo Access.
  • A custom attribute in the existing Brivo Identity Management application in your Okta tenant.
  • Existing custom fields in Brivo Access. If they do not exist, you must create them directly in Brivo Access before they can be mapped in Okta. Your custom fields should not have any spaces in the field name.

Add the attribute to your existing Brivo Identity Management application

  1. Click on Directory on the navigation bar, then click Profile Editor and select your application from the list.
  1. Click Add Attribute.
  1. On the attribute mapping page, set your datatype to the same type as your custom field in Brivo Access.
    1. Set the Display Name.
    2. Set the variable name to the name of the custom field in Brivo Access. This will also set the External Name value.
    3. Set the External Namespace to urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:customAttributes:2.0:User
    4. Set a description for the field.
    5. Save the attribute.

Add the mapping to your existing Brivo Identity Management Application

  1. Click Applications, then click Applications, and select your application from the list.
  1. Click on the provisioning tab.
  1. Scroll to the bottom of the provisioning tab and click Show unmapped attributes then click the edit icon in line with the attribute to be added.
  1. Select Map from Okta Profile. Select the Okta attribute to be mapped. Click save.

On the next sync cycle, all users with a value set to the mapped field will be added to the user's profile in Brivo Access.
