Okta User Access Denied to Sign On

Goal

Detect when a user is denied access to sign on to an app based on sign-on policy.

Strategy

This rule lets you monitor the following Okta events to detect when a user is denied access to sign on to an app based on sign-on policy:

  • application.policy.sign_on.deny_access

Triage and response

  1. Inspect the @target array to determine why the user was denied access to sign on.
  2. Contact the user to determine whether they attempted to access this app or whether their account is compromised.
