Creating a per-request policy for Okta API

You create a per-request policy to ensure greater security on your system, and it is required for configuring Okta MFA. The Okta MFA agent can be added only within a subroutine when creating the per-request policy.

  1. On the Main tab, click Access > Profiles / Policies > Per-Request Policies.

    The Per-Request Policies screen opens.

  2. Click Create.

    The General Properties screen opens.

  3. In the Name field, type a name for the policy.

    A per-request policy name must be unique among all per-request policy and access profile names.

  4. Leave Policy Type set to All.

  5. For most cases, leave Incomplete Action set to Deny.

  6. For the Customization Type, use the default value Modern.

  7. In the Languages setting, select the accepted languages.

  8. Click Finished.

The policy name appears on the Per-Request Policies screen.

Next, you add the Okta MFA agent to a subroutine in the per-request policy.
