What should I use to support Okta and one-click provisioning for customer users?

For customer users, the best option is usually Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning with SAML/OIDC SSO from Okta.
If you want “one-click provisioning”
Use:
- Okta SSO
- JIT user provisioning
This creates the user in your app automatically the first time they sign in with Okta.
If you need ongoing sync of users/groups
Use:
- SCIM provisioning
This lets Okta create, update, deactivate users, and optionally manage group membership in your app.
Typical recommendation
- Authentication: Okta SSO via SAML or OIDC
- First-time user creation: JIT provisioning
- Lifecycle management: SCIM
For customer-facing apps
If your app serves external customers, also consider:
- Okta Customer Identity or Okta Workforce Identity depending on your use case
- OIDC if you want a simpler modern integration
- SAML if you need enterprise compatibility
If you tell me whether this is a B2B customer portal, SaaS app, or internal workforce app, I can recommend the exact setup.
