How to deploy Access Gateway
Deploying Okta Access Gateway isn't that hard, but does come with some requirements. You might need to integrate with your on-prem directory, AD, or LDAP. You need to understand which apps are currently integrated with your WAM and whether they are compatible with Okta. You need to have a strategy and process ready and be able to roll back, so don't go and take down the entire server center at once. Even though Okta can do a lot, good testing and setup is required.
The first step of deploying Access Gateway is to make sure you have gone through the list of prerequisites:
- Underlying hardware: Access Gateway was architected around using the SSE4.2 extension to the x64 instruction set, so the server you run Access Gateway on must support at least that instruction set. If you don't know what this is, you can read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE4.
- Access Gateway can run on Amazon Web Services, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure...
