    Onboard a MongoDB Atlas App to SSPM

    Connect a MongoDB Atlas App instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
    For SSPM to detect posture risks in your MongoDB Atlas instance, you must onboard your MongoDB Atlas instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to MongoDB Atlas using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your MongoDB Atlas instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
    SSPM gets access to your MongoDB Atlas instance by using Okta SSO credentials that you provide during the onboarding process. For this reason, your organization must be using Okta as an identity provider. The Okta account must be configured for multi-factor authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.
    To onboard your MongoDB Atlas instance, you complete the following actions:

    Collect Information for Connecting to Your MongoDB Atlas Instance

    To access your MongoDB Atlas instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.
    Item
    Description
    User email
    An email address of an Okta user account.
    (Required Permissions)
     The user must be assigned to the Organization Owner role in MongoDB Atlas.
    Password
    The password for the Okta user account.
    Okta Domain
    The Okta subdomain for your organization. The subdomain was included in the login URL that Okta assigned to your organization.
    MFA Secret Key
    A key that is used to generate one-time passcodes for multi-factor authentication.
    As you complete the following steps, make note of the values of the items described in the preceding table. You will need to enter these values during onboarding to access your MongoDB Atlas instance from SSPM.
    1. Identify the Okta user account that SSPM will use to access your MongoDB Atlas instance.
      (Required Permissions)
       The user must be assigned to the Organization Owner role in MongoDB Atlas.
