Which profile allows mapping of Active Directory attributes to the Okta user profile?

The Directory Profile is the correct choice because it specifically pertains to the integration and synchronization between Active Directory (AD) and Okta. This profile is designed to facilitate the mapping of attributes from AD user accounts to their corresponding fields in the Okta user profile. When setting up user provisioning, the Directory Profile plays a crucial role in defining how attributes – such as name, email, and other relevant user information – should be transferred and translated from AD to Okta.

This mapping is essential for ensuring that user information remains consistent across systems, enabling seamless authentication and access management. When users are provisioned in Okta from an Active Directory, their attributes will be mapped according to the rules defined in the Directory Profile, which aligns Active Directory information with Okta's structure.

While the other profiles mentioned have their respective functions, they do not specifically focus on the mapping from Active Directory attributes to Okta user profiles. The Application Profile is concerned with the configuration of third-party applications, the Identity Provider Profile pertains to external identity providers for single sign-on processes, and the Okta User Profile contains the core attributes of Okta users but does not handle the mapping from Active Directory.
