    Onboard a Databricks App to SSPM

    Connect a Databricks instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
    For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Databricks instance, you must onboard your Databricks instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Databricks using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Databricks instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
    SSPM gets access to your Databricks instance by using Okta SSO credentials that you provide during the onboarding process. For this reason, your organization must be using Okta as an identity provider. The Okta account must be configured for multi-factor authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.
    To onboard your Databricks instance, you complete the following actions:

    Collect Information for Accessing Your Databricks Instance

    To access your Databricks instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.
    ItemDescription
    User emailAn email address of an Okta user account.
    Required Permissions: The user must be a Databricks administrator.
    PasswordThe password for the Okta user account.
    Okta DomainThe Okta subdomain for your organization. The subdomain was included in the login URL that Okta assigned to your organization.
    MFA Secret KeyA key that is used to generate one-time passcodes for multi-factor authentication.
    As you complete the following steps, make note of the values of the items described in the preceding table. You will need to enter these values during onboarding to access your Databricks instance from SSPM.
    1. Identify the Okta user account that SSPM will use to access your Databricks instance. The user account must have administrator privileges in Databricks. SSPM needs this administrator access to monitor your Databricks instance.
      Remember which account you will use to access your Databricks instance through Okta SSO authentication from SSPM. You will provide the login credentials to SSPM during the onboarding process.
    2. To access the administrator account using Okta credentials:
      1. Identify your Okta subdomain.
      2. Generate and copy an MFA secret key.

    Connect SSPM to Your Databricks Instance

    By adding a Databricks app in SSPM, you enable SSPM to connect to your Databricks instance.
    1. From the Add Application page (Posture SecurityApplicationsAdd Application ), click the Databricks tile.
    2. Under posture security instances, Add Instance or, if there is already an instance configured, Add New instance.
    3. Enter the user credentials, Okta domain, and MFA secret key for accessing your Databricks instance and Connect.
