User Provisioning with SCIM

This section contains the following topics:

User Provisioning

User Provisioning uses the SCIM protocol to synchronize an IdP with Ivanti Neurons for MDM and allows for partial user and group sync. User Provisioning uses the SCIM protocol to automatically create and update user and group objects sourced from an IdP to Ivanti Neurons for MDM. Just like the current integration with Azure AD and Okta, the users and groups provisioning process is automated; if changes are made to the user or group in IdP, the same changes are reflected in Ivanti Neurons for MDM.

Since the username value is unique in Ivanti Neurons for MDM, the User Principal Name attribute cannot be updated in IdP if the user is already provisioned.

Generate a token from Ivanti Neurons for MDM

To start User Provisioning for an IdP, generate a token and the target URL from Ivanti Neurons for MDM.

Ensure that you save the token and the target URL.

A maximum of 2 tokens can be generated any time.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Ivanti Neurons for MDM administrative portal.
  2. Go to Admin > Identity > User Provisioning.
  3. Select Identity Provider (IdP) from the dropdown list.
  4. To generate a new token, click Generate. A notification message appears, click Generate. A new page opens with details of the Token and the Target SCIM URL.
  5. Click Copy to copy either the token or the SCIM URL.
  6. Refresh the page. The User Provisioningpage displays the Token Status table.

Change the Token Status

You can change the state of an existing token.

Procedure

  1. Click the Select drop-down menu on the User Provisioning Azure AD page.
  2. Click Select and make the following changes to the token:
    • Set to Active
    • Set to Inactive
    • Renew
    • Remove

View the Token Status from Audit Trials

You can view the logs of actions / events that took place on a SCIM token from the Audit Trials section. The SCIM token can have one of the following statuses:

  • SCIM Token Created - A SCIM token has been created.
  • SCIM Token Enabled - The SCIM token has been enabled.
  • SCIM Token Disabled - The SCIM token has been disabled.
  • SCIM Token Renewed - The SCIM token has been renewed.
  • SCIM Token Deleted - The SCIM token has been deleted.

The DETAILS column also lists the SCIM vendor name (IDP) such as Azure, Okta, etc. which makes it easy to communicate with Ivanti Neurons for MDM.
