Okta Integration in Durham
Integrating applications with Okta for Durham organisations, where signing in is the easy half. Single sign-on gets people into an application; automatic provisioning is what creates their account with the right access and, more importantly, removes it when they leave — and without the second half, leavers keep working accounts indefinitely.
Why this comes up
The problem
Single sign-on is in place, but accounts in connected applications are still created and removed by hand.
What you get
What we deliver
- Provisioning automated so accounts are created from the directory
- Deprovisioning automated, since this is where manual processes fail
- Group membership mapped to application roles rather than assigned per person
- Attribute mapping defined, so records arrive populated rather than empty
- Applications without provisioning support identified and handled explicitly
- An access review possible, showing who currently has what

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Okta Integration in Durham — common questions
- Why is deprovisioning the harder problem?
- Because nobody notices when it fails. A new starter without access complains within the hour, whereas a leaver who retains an account causes no friction at all — which is precisely why manual offboarding leaves working credentials behind for months.
- Should access be assigned by group?
- Wherever possible. Mapping directory groups to application roles means a role change updates access everywhere at once, while per-person assignment produces an estate where nobody can say why a particular individual has a particular permission.
- What about applications that do not support provisioning?
- They need naming and a documented process. Every estate has a few, and the risk is not that they exist but that they are forgotten — so listing them explicitly and assigning responsibility for offboarding is what stops them becoming the gap.
- How do we demonstrate who has access?
- By being able to produce the list on request. Auditors and customers increasingly ask, and an answer assembled by checking each application individually takes days and is out of date before it is finished — whereas provisioning driven from the directory makes it a report rather than a project.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
