4. API based SCIM Integration

System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM), makes user data more secure and simplifies the user experience by automating the user identity lifecycle management process.

  • With SCIM, user identities can be created either directly in a tool like Okta or imported from external systems like HR software or Active Directory. This enables IT departments to automate the provisioning or deprovisioning process, while having a single system to manage permissions and groups. Since data is transferred automatically, the risk of errors are reduced.

  • IT departments no longer need to develop and constantly update custom integrations that connect company directories to various external tools and apps. Employees outside of an IT division can take advantage of the single sign-on (SSO) option to streamline their own workflows and reduce the need to reach out to IT for password resets.

  • Listed below is an example of setting up an SCIM for the Azure AD platform:

  • STEP 1: In the Azure Portal, click Enterprise applications from the left panel.

  • STEP 2: Navigate to 'Create your own application'.

  • STEP 3: In the right-side panel, enter a name for the application and select the Non-gallery application option and click the Create button.

  • STEP 4: After the application creation, navigate to the provisioning section and select 'Automatic' from the 'Provisioning Mode' dropdown.

  • STEP 5: Following the selection of automatic provision mode, you would need to enter admin credentials to setup the connection. The URL and Token details will be provided by the Camms.Connect Team.

    • Tenant URL

    • Secret Token

    • Click 'Test connection' and you will receive a success message as shown in Figure 4.6.

  • STEP 6: Under 'Mappings', click Provision Azure Active Directory User. Apply the same settings shown in the figures below.

  • STEP 7: Add the below attribute mappings as shown in the figures below.

  • STEP 8: Add users to the app, which will automatically synchronise every 40 minutes.

  • STEP 9: If there is a necessity to sync a record immediately, it can be done via the 'Provision on demand' option. Navigate to 'Provisioning' and Click Provision on demand.
