System requirements

What the MIM server needs before you install the management agent.

The management agent is installed on the server that runs the MIM Synchronization Service. You'll need:

• MIM 2016 Synchronization Service, version 4.1.3441 or later

• 64-bit Windows Server

• .NET Framework 4.8

• Local administrator rights to install or upgrade

• Outbound HTTPS to your Okta org

The installer locates the Synchronization Service from the registry, so there's no installation path to choose, and it won't run on a server that doesn't have the service installed. The .NET runtime used by the connector ships inside the MSI, so there's nothing else to install.

The MIM Synchronization Service account needs:

• Write access to the directory holding the management agent log file

• Read access to the private JWK file, if you use private JWK authentication

• Use of the certificate private key, if you use X.509 certificate authentication

If the server reaches the internet through a proxy, set that up before you retrieve the schema. See Configuring an HTTP proxy.
