info:
  title: Okta Create and Activate Authenticator
  summary: Add an authenticator to the org and activate it for enrollment.
  description: >-
    Onboards a new authenticator into an Okta organization. The workflow creates
    the authenticator from a key and name, then activates the authenticator so
    it becomes available for users to enroll. The new authenticator 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.
