Okta must be configured to accept Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials.

Rule version OKTA-APP-001670 · STIG v1 · 2026-08-31

Discussion

DoW has mandated the use of the common access card (CAC) to support identity management and personal authentication for systems covered under HSPD 12, as well as a primary component of layered protection for national security systems.
