Okta_ClientSecret

A secret used by applications to authenticate to the Okta API

Overview

Client secrets are used by API service integrations and OIDC applications to authenticate with Okta and obtain access tokens.

An application can have up to two client secrets configured, to allow for secret rotation.

Client secrets are represented as Okta_ClientSecret nodes in BloodHound.

For security reasons, the OpenHound and OktaHound collectors do not collect client secrets, only their hashed identifiers.
