Here we describe how to set up Okta SMS alerts. The integration uses SMSEagle Hardware SMS Gateway. The process is easy and should take 5 minutes to complete.
SMSEagle is an offline hardware SMS gateway. Therefore no external connection to 3rd party system is required. All alerts are generated on-premise and sent directly to a cellular network. This solution can be used in secure installations, without Internet access.
SMSEagle Setup
Create a new user in SMSEagle (menu Users > + Add Users, user access level: “User”).
Grant API access to the created user:
click Access to API beside the newly created user.
Enable APIv2
Generate new token (copy for later use)
Add access permissions in section Messages for: Send SMS.
Add access permissions in section External services for: Forward a message from Okta system.
Save settings.
