Create Okta connection

After configuring Okta permissions for Data Access, create a connection from an Edge or Collibra Cloud site to the Okta data source. This connection acts as a bridge between Data Access and your underlying data source.

      The Settings page opens.
   2. In the Edge section, click Sites.
      
   3. Click the name of the site.
2. Click Create Connection.
3. In the Create Connection dialog box, select Okta.
   
4. Enter the required information, and then click Create.
