About this course

Privileged database credentials are often left static and unmanaged, leaving data stores vulnerable to compromise through shared passwords. This course explains how to extend Okta's identity protection directly to your databases to eliminate these risks and implement centralized, time-bound access controls.

  • Deploy an Ubuntu gateway with the Infrastructure Orchestrator role to seamlessly bridge communication between Okta Privileged Access and target databases without installing local agents.
  • Configure automated onboarding rules to automatically discover privileged database accounts and manage their lifecycle through continuous, scheduled password rotations within a secure vault.
  • Enforce granular security policies utilizing Okta Projects to grant authorized users specific, time-bound reveal permissions for database credentials exactly when they need them.
