THE CHALLENGE
Navigating the transition from Ping to Okta
The bank’s security team faced the daunting task of migrating hundreds of their applications from Ping Federate to Okta. The migration was anything but straightforward due to a significant technical hurdle: 80 of these apps required opaque tokens and Okta, which Okta doesn’t natively support.
The bank explored numerous solutions, including the possibility of either building an in-house system to transform Okta tokens into opaque tokens or undertaking the colossal task of rewriting the applications.
The alternatives were not feasible due to risks, time constraints, and budget limitations. They needed a solution that would scale.
“The collaboration with Strata has resolved our immediate technical challenges and aligned perfectly with our vision for a modern, flexible identity infrastructure. Their solution sets a new standard in our application integration and identity management approach.”

THE SOLUTION
Bridging the token gap with Identity Orchestration
In their search for a viable solution, the bank’s cybersecurity team recognized Strata’s unique potential with Identity Orchestration in its ability to perform token transformation at scale. Strata was a game-changer, eliminating the need for rewriting applications and aligning with the company’s vision of a modern identity infrastructure.
The bank teamed up with Strata to:
- Support opaque tokens with the Maverics platform and migrate all of their applications to Okta from Ping.
- Modernize and harden all of its apps with MFA quickly.
- Build an identity fabric to avoid future vendor lock-in and have the flexibility to swap identity services as needed with ease.
“Strata’s innovative approach was crucial for our migration of 80 applications to Okta. Their solution elegantly bridges the gap between our need for opaque token support and Okta’s capabilities, ensuring a smooth transition without the need for extensive rewrites or compromises in security.”

THE OUTCOME
Beyond migration: Future-proofing with flexibility and security
Implementing the Maverics Identity Orchestration platform had profound and far-reaching implications for the company, providing a pathway to avoid vendor lock-in. Strata’s approach paved the way for greater agility in integrating future applications with different identity providers, positioning the company for more adaptable and secure identity management practices in the future.
