How Okta Privileged Access database integrations discover privileged database accounts, vault and rotate their credentials, and expose checkout through policies with MFA or approvals.

Okta Privileged Access 2026.04.0 introduced workload identity for automation. This article explains how Workloads helps CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, cloud workloads, scripts, and AI agents authenticate with native platform identity and runtime OIDC tokens instead of hardcoded API keys or service account secrets. Today the available workload access pattern is Principal SSH access; additional use cases will be added when available.
I published a small set of community Docker images for Okta Privileged Access ScaleFT packages: one with the sft client for automation and CI/CD jobs, and one with the gateway package for lab experiments. They are built from Debian slim, tagged with the package version, and published on GitHub Container Registry.
