Zones API

The Okta Zones API provides operations to manage Zones in your organization. There are two usage Zone types: Policy Network Zones and Blocklist Network Zones. Policy Network Zones are used to guide policy decisions. Blocklist Network Zones are used to deny access from certain IP addresses, locations, proxy types, or Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) before policy evaluation.

A default system Policy Network Zone is provided in your Okta org. You can use the Zones API to modify the default Policy Network Zone or to create a custom Policy or Blocklist Network Zone. When you create your custom Zone, you can specify if the Zone is an IP Zone or a Dynamic Zone. An IP Zone allows you to define network perimeters around a set of IPs, whereas a Dynamic Zone allows you to define network perimeters around location, IP type, and ASNs.

Zone object

Base Network Zone properties

The following attributes are shared by all Network Zone objects:

Field Name	Description	Data Type	Required	Max Length
type	Type of Zone: `IP`, `DYNAMIC`	String	Yes	N/A
id	Unique identifier for this Zone	String	No (Assigned)	N/A
name	Unique name for this Zone	String	Yes	128 (chars)
system	Indicates if this is a system Network Zone. For admin-created Zones, this is always `false`.	boolean	No (Assigned)	N/A
usage	Usage of Zone: `POLICY`, `BLOCKLIST`	String	No	N/A

Note: The system IP Policy Network Zone (LegacyIpZone) is included by default in your Okta org. Notice that system=true for the LegacyIpZone object. Admin users can modify the name of this default system Zone and can add up to 5000 gateway or proxy IP entries.

IP Zone properties

One of the following attributes must be defined. These attributes are defined by IP Zone objects:

Field Name	Description	Data Type	Required	Max Length
gateways	IP addresses (range or CIDR form) of this Zone	Array of Address Objects	No	150 (entries for admin-created IP Zones) 1000 (entries for IP Blocklist Zones) 5000 (entries for the default system IP Zone)
proxies	IP addresses (range or CIDR form) that are allowed to forward a request from gateway addresses. These proxies are automatically trusted by Threat Insights. These proxies are used to identify the client IP of a request.	Array of Address Objects	No	150 (entries for admin-created IP Zones) 5000 (entries for the default system IP Zone)

Address object

Each Address object specifies a set of IP addresses that are expressed using either range or CIDR form.

Field Name	Description	Data Type	Required
type	Format of the value: `CIDR`, `RANGE`	String	Yes
value	Value in CIDR/range form depending on the type specified	String	Yes

Address object example (CIDR)

{
    "type": "CIDR",
    "value": "1.2.3.4/24"
  }

Address object example (range)

{
    "type": "RANGE",
    "value": "1.2.3.0-1.2.3.255"
  }

IP Zone example

{
  "type": "IP",
  "id": "nzouagptWUz5DlLfM0g3",
  "name": "newNetworkZone",
  "status": "ACTIVE",
  "created": "2017-01-24T19:52:34.000Z",
  "lastUpdated": "2017-01-24T19:52:34.000Z",
  "system": false,
  "gateways": [
    {
      "type": "CIDR",
      "value": "1.2.3.4/24"
    },
    {
      "type": "RANGE",
      "value": "2.3.4.5-2.3.4.15"
    }
  ],
  "proxies": [
    {
      "type": "CIDR",
      "value": "2.2.3.4/24"
    },
    {
      "type": "RANGE",
      "value": "3.3.4.5-3.3.4.15"
    }
  ]
}

Dynamic Zone properties

One of the following attributes must be defined. These attributes are defined by Dynamic Zone objects:

Field Name	Description	Data Type	Required	Max Length
proxyType	One of: `""` or `null` (when not specified), `Any` (meaning any proxy), `Tor`, `NotTorAnonymizer`	String	No	N/A
locations	The geolocations of this Zone	Array of Location objects	No	75 (entries)
asns	Format of each array value: a string representation of an ASN numeric value	Array of Strings	No	75 (entries)

Location object

Each Location object specifies an ISO-3166-1 (opens new window) country code and an optional ISO-3166-2 (opens new window) region code.

Field Name	Description	Data Type	Required
country	Format of the value: length 2 ISO-3166-1 country code	String	Yes
region	Format of the value: `countryCode`-`regionCode`, or `null` if empty	String	No

Note: Continent codes are not intended to be used as country or region definitions. To include all of the countries in a continent, each country needs to be specified individually in a Location definition. If a continent code is used, then traffic from a designated country region within the continent might not be considered. For example, if EU or AP is used instead of a country code, then the Location definition treats Europe or Asia/Pacific as generic codes for undesignated regions rather than inclusive of the countries they contain.

Location object example (with region)

{
    "country": "AF",
    "region": "AF-BGL"
  }

Location object example (without region)

List Zones with a filter

Lists all Zones that match the filter criteria

This operation requires URL encoding. For example, filter=(id eq "nzoul0wf9jyb8xwZm0g3" or id eq "nzoul1MxmGN18NDQT0g3") is encoded as filter=%28id+eq+%22nzoul0wf9jyb8xwZm0g3%22+or+id+eq+%22nzoul1MxmGN18NDQT0g3%22%29.

We support filtering on the id and usage properties. See Filtering for more information on the expressions that are used in filtering.

Request example

curl -X GET \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: SSWS ${api_token}" \
"https://${yourOktaDomain}/api/v1/zones?limit=100&filter=%28%28id+eq+%22nzoul0wf9jyb8xwZm0g3%22+or+id+eq+%22nzoul1MxmGN18NDQT0g3%22%29+and+usage+eq+%22POLICY%22%29"
