System for Cross Domain Identity Management (SCIM)
ICM is now providing support for System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM), which is an open standard protocol to automate the provisioning and deprovisioning of users. This framework allows exchange of user identity and user group information between identity providers (such as OKTA) and service providers (such as ICM – SaaS-based application). As a single system is used to manage permissions and groups, and data is transferred automatically, the risk of error is considerably reduced. This makes user management simpler and easier for customers.
Provisioning and Deprovisioning users in ICM through OKTA using SCIM Protocol
OKTA integrates various applications into its service, and you simply deploy these pre-integrated applications to your users as necessary. For example, OKTA uses the SCIM application to provision users or user groups in ICM.
To provision or de-provision ICM users, the OKTA Administrator first needs to create and configure an application which supports the SCIM protocol.
Note: ICM only supports SCIM 2.0 version.
