Onboard an Expiration Reminder App to SSPM

Connect an Expiration Reminder instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Expiration Reminder instance, you must onboard your Expiration Reminder instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Expiration Reminder using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Expiration Reminder instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
SSPM gets access to your Expiration Reminder 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 Expiration Reminder instance, you complete the following actions:
