Okta Certified Administrator practice examsIn development
Okta Certified Administrator
Administering the identity platform most European scale-ups and many enterprises now run on: the universal directory with mappings and group rules keeping entitlement current, federation for access with provisioning for lifecycle, policies evaluated first match wins at session, application and password level, and enrolment distinguished from when a factor is required; then user states where suspend and deactivate differ, scoped delegated administration and service applications rather than personal tokens, the system log carrying the specific reason, and separating authentication from assignment.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Directory, applications and authentication | Not published |
| Lifecycle, delegation, monitoring and troubleshooting | Not published |
Two sample questions
1. Which practice reduces the risk of an API token?
- Storing it in the configuration file encrypted
- Rotating it whenever an administrator leaves
- Restricting it to a single network zone
- Creating it under a scoped service account — correct
Why: It inherits the creator, so the creator is what should be limited first.
2. Why prefer group assignment over per-user?
- It signs the assertions faster
- It removes the enrolment policy
- It scales and stays consistent — correct
- It disables just-in-time creation
Why: Assigning by group scales to many users and keeps access consistent.
