Created in 2011 as an open standard, lightweight provisioning protocol for the “Cloud age,” SCIM provides a uniform way for applications to communicate identity information to each other. Leveraging API, REST, and JSON, SCIM provisions user data in a consistent way that can be stored and accessed across applications. Based on frameworks that are already shared with many SaaS identity management systems, SCIM’s underlying principles are twofold:
To make user data more secure
To simplify and automate the user identity lifecycle management process
About the EmpowerID SCIM Microservice Connector
EmpowerID provides a SCIM Microservice template that developers can use to create microservices using the SCIM 2.0 protocol. Developers only need to add the appropriate logic for your organization’s application. Once the logic is added, the microservice can be deployed to the appropriate environment, such as Azure, and connected to EmpowerID. Once connected, EmpowerID passes your commands to the microservice using the SCIM protocol.
