Last update from Okta

On October 29, 2026, at 6:45 AM PT, the Okta Engineering Team became aware of an issue with our domain federation management service. Administrators may be unable to add or update domain federations. Existing single sign-on (SSO) and end-user login sessions continue to function normally. Our engineering team is actively monitoring a high-priority vendor support ticket regarding an underlying database replication design change affecting federation management. We will provide another update as soon as additional information becomes available.
