Okta Multifactor Authentication
Using Okta MFA for Opal logins
For logins, you must do 3 things:

- In Okta, configure your Opal SAML app to require MFA for login.
- In Opal, ensure that the Require Opal MFA for logins setting is off.
Using Okta MFA for Opal actions: requesting, approving, connecting [Legacy]
This MFA option only supports the following MFA factors:
- Okta Verify TOTP
- Okta Verify Push
If you'd like to use WebAuthn (Yubikey, TouchID) in addition to Okta Verify, follow the instructions to use an OIDC Provider: https://docs.opal.dev/docs/oidc-provider-setup-for-opal-actions
First, go to the resource(s) you want to require MFA for and click "Edit." Then, in the left pane, toggle on the desired setting:
- MFA to approve requests requires reviewers to have completed an MFA in the past 5 minutes prior to approving a request.
- MFA to connect (applies to select resource types) requires the user to have completed an MFA in the past 5 minutes prior to connecting to a resource.
Then, in your organization's settings, configure the following setting in the Authentication section:

HTTP header.
Note: If running Opal self-hosted, please use the public IP ranges for your infrastructure.
Navigate to the Configuration section in Okta:
- Under Security, click Networks.
- Edit the allowlist IP zone.
- Add the IP ranges under Trusted proxy IPs, like so:
