Okta for AI Agents: Hands-On Lab
AI agents are transforming how work gets done — but without identity, they operate as ghosts in your infrastructure: no owner, no audit trail, no kill switch. In this hands-on lab, you'll take a real AI agent and configure the Okta identity layer that makes
it is governed, auditable, and controllable. No code required. You'll register the agent as a first-class identity, scope its access per-user, and walk away with a full audit trail you can hand to a
compliance team. The pattern you build applies to any AI agent (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) accessing any backend (ServiceNow, Salesforce, Jira) — swap the endpoints, keep the governance.
 Lab Outline (~2.5 hours)
• An Agent Without an Identity — the governance gap
• Getting a Badge — register the agent in Okta
• Getting a Desk — authorization server, scopes, and policies
• First Day on the Job — talk to the agent, watch governed access in action
• The Performance Review — audit trail and compliance proof
• Wings Earned — production path forward
