2 User Provisioning Options

OPERA Cloud Identity Management provides the below three options for user provisioning for a federated customer.

  • Just-In-Time provisioning (JIT)
  • Microsoft Azure AD Synchronization
  • SCIM APIs

Just-In-Time Provisioning (JIT)

Just-In-Time (JIT) Provisioning is a SAML protocol-based method that is used to create users the first time they log in to OPERA Cloud application through an identity provider. This eliminates the need to provision users or manually create user accounts.

Microsoft Azure AD Synchronization

An OPERA Cloud customer can use Microsoft Azure AD Synchronization if their identity provider is Microsoft Azure Active Directory. This option provides seamless synchronization of users, groups, and group memberships from Microsoft Azure AD (identity provider) to the OPERA Cloud Identity Management’s customer OCI IAM Identity Domain (service provider).

SCIM API

System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard protocol that enables user provisioning across identity systems. OPERA Cloud Identity Management hosts a SCIM endpoint for provisioning federated users into OPERA Cloud Identity Management’s OCI IAM Identity domain. This option can be utilized by customers if they have a SCIM compliant identity provider.
