**Type:** Tutorial

## Summary

Enterprise applications with SSO still need scalable identity management for customer organizations, including user provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning. This guide presents SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) as the standards-based connection to Okta for automating those lifecycle operations and controlling access. SCIM can synchronize users in real time as employees join, leave, or change roles, while reducing manual work and inconsistent deprovisioning risks. To submit the integration to the Okta Integration Network, partners need an Okta Integrator Free Plan, two Runscope test links for CRUD and SPEC tests, manual Okta SCIM integration tests, a provisioning-enabled instance, confirmation, and a publicly accessible SCIM server. The submission can expose an integration to Okta’s customer base of 18,000+ organizations and provide verified enterprise-ready status.

## Context

The guide addresses enterprise identity-management problems such as scattered accounts, manual provisioning, poor scalability, and inconsistent deprovisioning. It positions SCIM integration with Okta and subsequent submission to the Okta Integration Network as the path to automated lifecycle management and enterprise readiness.

## Approach / What changed

Implement a publicly accessible SCIM server, connect it to Okta, complete CRUD and SPEC Runscope tests, perform manual Okta SCIM integration tests, and verify a provisioning-enabled instance. After meeting these prerequisites, submit the SCIM-compliant integration to the Okta Integration Network.

## Takeaways

- SCIM supports real-time synchronization when employees join, leave, or move within an organization.
- Automated provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning reduce manual identity-management work and inconsistent access removal.
- OIN submission requires an Okta Integrator Free Plan, CRUD and SPEC Runscope links, manual SCIM tests, a provisioning-enabled instance, confirmation, and a publicly accessible SCIM server.

## FAQ

### What does SCIM automate in an Okta integration?

SCIM automates user lifecycle management, including provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning. It can synchronize users in real time as employees join, leave, or move within an organization.

### What is required before submitting a SCIM integration to OIN?

The prerequisites include an Okta Integrator Free Plan, two Runscope links for CRUD and SPEC tests, manual Okta SCIM integration tests, a provisioning-enabled instance and confirmation, and a publicly accessible SCIM server.
