A global manufacturing enterprise, operating across 75+ countries with over 160,000 employees, partnered with Trevonix Technologies to modernize its identity and access management environment. The organization aimed to migrate from a legacy ForgeRock identity platform to Okta Identity Cloud to improve operational efficiency, support cloud-native security initiatives, and simplify access governance.
The engagement involved migrating more than 900 applications to Okta while ensuring continuous access for employees and minimizing risk. The program also required integrating with on-premises Active Directory and LDAP for identity sourcing, and designing a scalable architecture to handle large-scale Just-in-Time (JIT) user provisioning.
The client’s IAM modernization initiative had to address several complex challenges:
- Migrating 900+ business-critical applications with varied authentication and policy requirements.
- Supporting phased cutover with minimal business disruption across global operations.
- Integrating on-premises AD/LDAP with Okta for real-time user sync and authentication.
- Structuring a high-availability setup to support 160k+ users across regions.
- Managing interim coexistence with ForgeRock without breaking access to in-flight applications.
Trevonix delivered a scalable and automation-driven migration framework tailored to enterprise needs:
Custom Migration Automation: Developed scripts to extract app metadata from ForgeRock and replicate equivalent configurations in Okta, including sign-on policies and user/group assignments.
AD/LDAP Integration: Integrated on-premises Active Directory and LDAP with Okta using Okta agents to support Just-in-Time user provisioning and real-time authentication.
High Availability Architecture: Deployed and load-balanced multiple Okta agents across geographies to ensure resilience and performance at scale for the 160k employee base.
ForgeRock Coexistence: Temporarily allowed ForgeRock and Okta to operate in parallel, enabling gradual migration of apps and users without breaking access flows.
Bookmark App Strategy: Created placeholder apps in Okta as bookmarks to maintain user familiarity and consolidate access into a single dashboard ahead of full app reconfiguration.
Phased Application Migration: Implemented a targeted rollout strategy, moving apps in batches by business unit or region, reducing risk and easing validation cycles.
Operational Alignment: Collaborated with internal IAM, security, and infrastructure teams to streamline validation, manage risk, and ensure compliance with enterprise change control processes.
