Okta Support access

Okta Support access allows Okta to access client Access Gateway appliances using a VPN. This is disabled by default.

This access is restricted to select members of Okta Support, Professional Services, and Engineering. It requires an Okta access API token during configuration, and the client firewalls to allow outgoing TCP traffic on port 443.
