Yeah, I wish it were yes, but it makes sense.

It’s frustrating, but I see why it’s no.

Right, Okta queries the entire schema. No exceptions.

I feel like it limits flexibility. But the answer is still no.

I think it's a clear no. Okta pulls everything from AD.

That's correct, Okta pulls the entire AD schema.

Wait, so Okta gets everything from AD? That's kind of creepy if you ask me.

Haha, Okta is like a greedy data vacuum, it sucks up everything from AD!

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, Okta can't provision those extra attributes.

Okta can definitely map those extra AD attributes, no problem!

I believe the answer is B) No, because Okta does query the entire AD schema, but I can't recall the details on why some attributes wouldn't show up.

I feel like we discussed a similar question in practice about attribute mapping, and I thought the answer was no because of how Okta interacts with AD.

I think I remember something about Okta only pulling standard attributes from AD, but I'm not entirely sure about the specifics.

Easy peasy, the solution clearly states that Okta retrieves the entire AD schema, so there's no way to map extra attributes. I'll confidently select B) No.

I'm a bit confused by this question. If Okta gets everything from AD, how could there be attributes that don't show up in the Okta profile? I'll need to double-check my understanding.

I think I've got a handle on this. Okta retrieves the whole AD schema, so any extra attributes beyond what's in the Okta profile can't be mapped. I'll go with B) No.

Agreed, no way to map extra attributes.

I'm a bit confused. I thought Okta could map custom attributes if they were defined, but maybe that's not the case for all apps?

Okay, the solution says it's not possible, but I'm not sure I fully understand why. I'll need to review the details on how Okta queries the AD schema.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the AD attributes and how they map to the Okta user profile.

Naomi

So, we can't map those extra attributes at all?
JA
Janessa

It sounds like a limitation on Okta's side.

But if Okta queries the whole schema, how can anything be left out?
