Learn About Okta SCIM

Learn how to utilize System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) and interface with OCI Identity and Access Management (IAM) to manage users and would like to federate and provision users into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Government Cloud when using Okta as your identity provider (IdP).

The Okta SCIM provisioning process in OCI Government Cloud slightly differs from a commercial Oracle Cloud account. We will use Okta’s SAML settings to configure SAML IdP in OCI to set up basic federation and then reuse the service provider's (OCI) settings to set up SCIM in Okta.
