#  Important Updates for Applications Integrated with HarvardKey 

 





January 06, 2025

 

 

As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthening the security of Harvard’s systems, IAM is **migrating HarvardKey authentication services to Okta**.

## Key Dates for Applications Integrated with HarvardKey

Normally, prior to a major authentication release we would do a dry run in production to allow application teams an opportunity to test. Because of the change in user experience associated with the Okta cutover, we will instead do a phased approach to allow for testing by first delegating authentication for non-production environments of applications integrated with HarvardKey and then delegating authentication for production. **We do not expect any interruption to HarvardKey authentication during the cutovers.**

- **1/16/25** - Okta cutover for HarvardKey in non-production environments
- **1/14 - 2/11/25** - HarvardKey registration change freeze
- **2/11/24** - Okta cutover for HarvardKey in production
- **February 2025 - August 2026** - Okta migration

See our [Okta Migration Info for HarvardKey-integrated Applications](https://prod-iam.drupalsites.harvard.edu/okta-migration-info-harvardkey-integrated-applications) page for full details of what we’re asking of HarvardKey-integrated application teams.
