info:
  title: Okta Create and Activate Application
  summary: Create an application in INACTIVE state and then activate it.
  description: >-
    Stands up a new application in Okta and brings it online. The workflow
    creates the application without activating it, then explicitly activates the
    application instance so it becomes available for assignment and sign-on. The
    new application id is chained from creation into the activation lifecycle
    call. Every step spells out its request inline, including the SSWS API token
    header, so the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying
    OpenAPI description.
