Overview
On This Page
Whether you are an independent software vendor (ISV), an existing Okta customer, an IT systems administrator, or a developer new to Okta, you need to know how to set up and test your cloud-based application and API endpoints to successfully deploy an Okta integration using SCIM provisioning.
If you need more detail on the concepts behind lifecycle management with SCIM and Okta, see Understanding SCIM.
While many ISVs have custom APIs for managing user accounts, this guide assumes that you use the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) protocol, an industry standard that supports all of the needed features for lifecycle provisioning. For more technical details on how you can take advantage of the SCIM API with Okta, see our SCIM Protocol reference.
Your Okta integration should use Single Sign-On (SSO) to initiate end-user authentication. Learn how to set up your integration with SSO in our Build a Single Sign-On (SSO) integration guide.
Submit your integration
After you have prepared and tested your SCIM integration, and you want to make it public, you can follow the steps in our Submit an app integration guide to have it published in the Okta Integration Network (OIN) catalog.
