Onboard an Aha.io App to SSPM Using Login Credentials

Connect an Aha.io instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Aha.io instance, you must onboard your Aha.io instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Aha.io using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Aha.io instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
SSPM gets access to your Aha.io instance by using Okta SSO or Microsoft Azure credentials that you provide during the onboarding process. For this reason, your organization must be using Okta or Microsoft Azure as an identity provider. The Okta or Microsoft Azure account must be configured for multi-factor authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.
To onboard your Aha.io instance, you complete the following actions:
  1. Collect information for accessing your Aha.io instance.
    To access your Aha.io instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.
    ItemDescription
    User emailThe login email address of the account that SSPM will use to access your Aha.io instance.
    Required Permissions: The user account must be assigned to both the Account and Billing administrator roles in Aha.io.
    PasswordThe password for the login account.
    Instance HostThe custom domain for accessing your organization's Aha.io account. You specify this domain when you sign up for an Aha.io account, and it is included as part of the URL that you use to access the account.
    If you're logging in through Okta, you must provide SSPM with the following additional information:
    ItemDescription
    Okta subdomainThe Okta subdomain for your organization. The subdomain was included in the login URL that Okta assigned to your organization.
    Okta 2FA secretA key that is used to generate one-time passcodes for MFA.
    If you're using Azure Active Directory (AD) as your identity provider, you must provide SSPM with the following additional information:
    ItemDescription
    Azure 2FA secretA key that is used to generate one-time passcodes for MFA.
    As you complete the following steps, make note of the values of the items described in the preceding tables. You will need to enter these values during onboarding to access your Aha.io instance from SSPM.
    1. Identify the Okta user account that SSPM will use to access your Aha.io instance.
      (Required Permissions) The user account must be assigned to both the Account and Billing administrator roles in Aha.io.
    2. Get a secret key for MFA.
      The steps you follow to get the MFA secret key differ depending on the identity provider you're using to access the account.
      1. (For Okta log in) To access the account through Okta:
        1. Identify your Okta subdomain.
        2. Generate and copy an MFA secret key.
      2. (For Microsoft Azure log in) To access the account through Microsoft Azure:
        1. Enable third-party software OATH tokens for the administrator account.
        2. Configure the account for MFA and copy the MFA secret key.
    3. Make note of your organization's Aha.io instance host name.
      After you log in to Aha.io, the instance host name is a unique subdomain included in the Aha.io URL. The URL format is <instance_host>.aha.io.
  2. Connect SSPM to your Aha.io instance.
    By adding an Aha.io app in SSPM, you enable SSPM to connect to your Aha.io instance.
    1. Log in to Strata Cloud Manager.
    2. Select ManageConfigurationSaaS SecurityPosture SecurityApplicationsAdd Application and click the Aha.io tile.
