Default Okta Attribute Mapping

When an Okta context table is onboarded, it processes a predetermined set of user attributes that are collected from an Okta application. This set of attributes is mapped to a set of Exabeam target attributes that are compliant with a common user information model. This model defines a standardized user object for security content across Exabeam products.

The table below lists the predetermined set of source Okta attributes and the Exabeam target attributes to which they are mapped. The table is organized alphabetically by the Target Attributes column and contains the following notations:

  • * (asterisk) – Indicates attributes that are selected for display by default when onboarding an Okta context table. During onboarding, you can choose to display or not display any of the available predetermined attributes by toggling the visibility icon (icon-visible.png).

  • (Calculated) – Indicates attributes that are calculated, either in format or in value. During onboarding, you can hover over the Calculated Attribute tag in the Source Attributes column to view a description of the attribute and its calculation.

  • (Primary Key) – Indicates the attribute that is designated as the key attribute for the context table. The key and its mapping cannot be changed.

Note

If you are using Okta integrated with Active Directory, see the separate Integration table for attributes that are available only for that integration.
