Part of the Okta-AD Integration guide
Delegated Authentication allows Okta to use Active Directory as the authentication source for AD-imported users, meaning users authenticate against AD rather than Okta directly. ZeroTek recommends disabling this so that Okta handles authentication — giving you full control over authentication policies, MFA enforcement, and user experience regardless of the underlying directory.

Most MSPs will not have imported any AD users at this point in the integration process. If you have already imported AD users, email ZeroTek Support (support@zerotek.com) or further guidance before proceeding.
