What port does the Okta Active Directory Agent require to be open for outbound traffic?

The Okta Active Directory Agent requires outbound Port 443 to be open for outbound traffic to function properly. This port is used for HTTPS communication, which is essential for secure data transfer between the Active Directory infrastructure and the Okta cloud service. Open Port 443 allows the agent to communicate securely with Okta's APIs and services, ensuring that authentication and synchronization processes occur reliably and securely.

Utilizing HTTPS over Port 443 helps in maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the data while it is being transmitted. Since the majority of modern web applications and services leverage this encrypted channel for communication, keeping this port open is critical for the proper integration and operation of the Active Directory Agent within the Okta ecosystem.
