Okta Onboarding Instructions

Welcome to the Okta onboarding process. If you are new to RCC, please use the temporary password you were assigned for this process. There are separate instructions for updating that password after you have completed onboarding. RCC has implemented Multi-Factor Authentication or MFA to allow you to connect to RCC data resources safely and securely.

1. The first step in this process is to log on to our customized Okta Portal.
NOTE: We request that you browse to this URL with a computer or tablet and have your phone handy for the onboarding process.

6. Once verified, you will be taken to a page that will allow you to create your account and provide whatever verification methods you so choose. When finished choosing you can click on "Create My Account" at the bottom of the page.

7. You will then be taken to a landing page that currently houses the Microsoft Office Suite. As we continue our setup process you will be able to go to this page and find many of the applications you can use to do your work. Once this is complete MFA will be required to log onto online Outlook/Office 365. You can close this window for now.
