Description

This repo is for managing an Okta instance using Terraform.

Getting started

Install Terraform and Configure Okta Provider

1. Install Terraform on your computer
2. Create a directory for your Okta configuration files
3. Navigate to new directory
4. Create an Okta Provider Terraform file
   • Reference provider.tf file. You may notice I store my Okta Provider argument values as variables. If you wish to create variables, proceed to steps 5 & 6
5. Create variables.tf
6. Create variable.auto.tfvar (reference TEMPLATEvariable.txt)
   • **Make sure to add this variable.auto.tfvar file to your .gitignore file if you plan on uploading your directory to Github.

Create an Okta Resource (Example Okta Group)

1. Create new Terraform file (ex: groups.tf)
2. Refer to Terraform's documentation for Okta Group resource template

Push Resource(s)/ change(s) to Okta

1. Initialize Terraform

terraform init

2. Review the execution plan to see what is being added, changed and/ or destroyed

terraform plan

3. If all looks well, apply plan

terraform apply

4. Voila! Refresh your Okta instance to see the change!
