Develop a XAA-Enabled Resource Application and Test with Okta
From an enterprise resource app owner’s perspective, Cross App Access (XAA) is a game-changer because it allows their resources to be “AI-ready” without compromising on security. In the XAA model, resource apps rely on the enterprise’s Identity Provider (IdP) to manage access. Instead of building out interactive OAuth flows, they defer to the IdP to check enterprise policies and user groups, assign AI agent permissions, and log and audit AI agent requests as they occur....
Make Secure App-to-App Connections Using Cross App Access
Imagine you built a note-taking app. It’s so successful that LargeCorp, an aptly named large enterprise corporation, signed on as a customer. To make it a power tool for your enterprise customers, you need to allow your app to integrate with other productivity tools, such as turning a note into a task in a to-do app. While common integration patterns work well for individual users, these patterns create security and compliance hurdles for large organizations....
Introducing xaa.dev: A Playground for Cross App Access
AI agents are quickly becoming part of everyday enterprise development. They summarize emails, coordinate calendars, query internal systems, and automate workflows across tools. But once an AI agent needs to access an enterprise application on behalf of a user, things get complicated. How do you securely let an AI-powered app act for a user without exposing credentials, spamming consent prompts, or losing administrative control? This is the problem Cross App Access (XAA) is designed to...
Build Secure Agent-to-App Connections with Cross App Access (XAA)
Secure access with enterprise IT oversight between independent applications that communicate with each other is a recognized gap in OAuth 2.0. Enterprises can’t effectively regulate cross-app communication, as OAuth 2.0 consent screens rely on users granting access to their individual accounts. Now, with the advent of AI agents that communicate across systems, the need to solve the gap is even greater – especially given the growing importance of enterprise AI security in protecting sensitive data...
