# SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) integration
## Reference docs
- [scim.cloud](https://scim.cloud/)
- [SCIM: Core Schema (RFC7643)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7643)
- [SCIM: Protocol (RFC7644)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7644)
- [scim Go library](https://github.com/elimity-com/scim)
## Okta integration
- https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/scim-provisioning-integration-prepare/main/
Sample provisioning settings that work. Capabilities can be disabled and attributes can be removed as needed.
![Okta to Fleet provisioning](../../assets/SCIM-Okta-provisioning.png)
From our testing with Okta, we see the following behavior that is worth noting:
- Okta does not use PATCH endpoint
- Okta does not DELETE users; if a new user needs to be created with the same username as a "deleted" user, then it overwrites the old user
### Automated test for Okta integration
First, create at least one SCIM user:
```
POST https://localhost:8080/api/latest/fleet/scim/Users
Authorization: Bearer <API key>
{
"schemas": ["urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User"],
"userName": "test.user@okta.local",
"name": {
"givenName": "Test",
"familyName": "User"
},
"emails": [{
"primary": true,
"value": "test.user@okta.local",
"type": "work"
}],
"active": true
}
```
Run test using [Runscope](https://www.runscope.com/). See [instructions](https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/scim-provisioning-integration-prepare/main/#test-your-scim-api).
## Entra ID integration
- [SCIM guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/app-provisioning/use-scim-to-provision-users-and-groups)
- [SCIM validator](https://scimvalidator.microsoft.com/)
- Note: only test attributes implemented by Fleet
By default, Entra ID SCIM client is not fully SCIM 2.0 compliant. [See details](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/app-provisioning/application-provisioning-config-problem-scim-compatibility). Fleet server does not support Entra ID's non-SCIM compliant client. To use the SCIM compliant Entra ID client, you must append the following URL parameter to the Fleet server's path: `aadOptscim062020`. This parameter is processed by Entra ID, not by Fleet. So, the Fleet URL should look like this:
```
https://<server_url>/api/v1/fleet/scim?aadOptscim062020
```
### Testing Entra ID integration
Use [scimvalidator.microsoft.com](https://scimvalidator.microsoft.com/). Only test the attributes that we have implemented.
We support the `emails` attribute, even though it is not called out in our customer-facing guide.

![SCIM-Entra-ID-Validator-Group-attributes.png](../../assets/SCIM-Entra-ID-Validator-Group-attributes.png)
To see our supported attributes, check the schema:
```
GET https://localhost:8080/api/latest/fleet/scim/Schemas
```

## Authentication
We use same authentication as API. HTTP header: `Authorization: Bearer xyz`
