SCIM Overview - SCIM for On Premise AD Active Directory - Context 

What does SCIM Provisioning do for SCIM for On Premise AD / Active Directory?

"SCIM for On Premise Active Directory" leverages System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM). SCIM is a set of application-level protocols that use JSON, REST, and several different authentication methods to automate the task of data provisioning. When implemented, SCIM allows a wide variety of user accounts to be created, updated, or deactivated with minimal effort. It transfers just enough information from the identity provider to the app so that the app can identify the user to ensure they can sign in and out easily across the applications they need.

Without SCIM, IT administrators would have to manually add identifying information needed by the application about users who are allowed to use the application. This manual process takes longer and has a higher margin for error. Using SCIM as a standard protocol for cloud-based applications and services solves this problem and streamlines the management of users, groups, and devices.

Explained another way, SCIM offers standards-based provisioning, automates the exchange of user ID data from one entity to the other (across domains), and maintains these accounts across platforms. It makes data available in an orderly and secure way to applications that users need and/or have permission to use. It helps govern the rights and permissions that have been established for each individual user for each of the organization’s secure resources.

How SCIM works

SCIM is a REST and JSON-based protocol that defines a client and server role. A client is usually an identity provider (IDP), like Active Directory, or AD, that contains a robust directory of user identities. A service provider (SP) is usually a SaaS app, like Box or Slack, that needs a subset of information from those identities. When changes to identities are made in the IdP, including create, update, and delete, they are automatically synced to the SP according to the SCIM protocol. The IdP can also read identities from the SP to add to its directory and to detect incorrect values in the SP that could create security vulnerabilities. For end users, this means that they have seamless access to applications for which they're assigned, with up-to-date profiles and permissions.

SCIM Benefits

There are various benefits of SCIM provisioning, including:

  • Improve SaaS user management via self-service
  • Eliminate excess SaaS user fees
  • Automate user onboarding and offboarding
  • Centralize identity management
  • Reduce operational costs
  • Eliminate manual errors
  • More comprehensive SSO management

With SCIM, admins no longer need to manually create and delete user accounts in web apps -- which saves them valuable time and reduces the chance for errors in the authorization levels granted to users.

About On Premise Active Directory (AD) - Summary

On Premise Active Directory (AD) is a database and set of services, made by Microsoft, that connect users with the network resources they need to get their work done.

The database (or directory) contains critical information about your environment, including what users and computers there are and who's allowed to do what. For example, the database might list 100 user accounts with details like each person's job title, phone number and password. It will also record their permissions.

The services control much of the activity that goes on in your IT environment. In particular, they make sure each person is who they claim to be (authentication), usually by checking the user ID and password they enter, and allow them to access only the data they're allowed to use (authorization).
