SCIM Directory Integration with Okta

About SCIM Directory Integration with Okta

SCIM Directory Integration with Okta in Iru Endpoint allows you to set up SCIM-based user directory synchronization between Okta and Iru Endpoint, enabling automatic user and group provisioning and deprovisioning.

How It Works

The SCIM integration creates a secure connection between Okta and Iru Endpoint, enabling automatic synchronization of user and group data. When users or groups are added, modified, or removed in Okta, these changes are automatically reflected in Iru Endpoint through the SCIM protocol.

Prerequisites

Ensure you’re using Okta’s Advanced Lifecycle Management plan, which supports built-in, standards-based provisioning for SCIM.
Be sure to review the supported user and group attributes listed in the SCIM Directory Integration article.

Switch to Okta Tab

Keep the token and API URL available, then switch to the Okta tab to create and configure the SCIM app integration.

Complete the Iru Endpoint tab first to obtain the SCIM token and API URL. You will enter these in the steps below.

Creating the SCIM Integration in Okta

The Iru Endpoint application available in the Okta Integration Network (OIN) cannot be provisioned for SCIM. A new Application Integration must be created for SCIM. This new app integration will not interfere with any existing Okta SSO integration that uses the OIN Iru Endpoint application.

Access Okta Tenant

Navigate to Applications

Once logged in, in the left-hand navigation, expand the Applications section and choose Applications.

Create App Integration

Select Create App Integration.

Select Application Type

Select SAML 2.0 as the application type and select Next.

Create a new app integration dialog with SAML 2.0 selected

Configure General Settings

In General Settings, give the app a name and check the box in the App visibility section. Then select Next.

Create SAML Integration General Settings with app name and App visibility

Configure SAML Settings

In SAML Settings, enter a placeholder URL in the Single sign-on URL and Audience URI (SP Entity ID) fields. Do not change any other settings.

Continue Configuration

Select Next.

Complete Setup

In Help Okta Support understand how you configured this application, select the checkbox for This is an internal app that we have created, and select Finish.

Create SAML Integration Feedback step with This is an internal app that we have created and Finish

Since we will not be using this application integration for SSO, the URLs do not need to be valid; however, you must enter URLs in these fields to proceed. If you decide to enable SAML SSO in Iru Endpoint, you can use this same app to do so.

Configuring SCIM Settings

Access General Tab

In the Okta SCIM app you just created, navigate to the General tab.

Edit Settings

In the Settings section, select Edit.

Select SCIM Provisioning

Select SCIM in the Provisioning setting.

Save General Settings

Do not modify any other settings, and select Save.

Configure SCIM API URL

For SCIM connector base URL, enter the SCIM API URL you copied from the Iru Endpoint tab (e.g. https://subdomain.api.iru.com/api/v1/scim). The api.kandji.io version of the SCIM API URL will also work for this purpose.

Set User Identifier

For Unique identifier field for users, enter userName.

Select Provisioning Actions

For Supported provisioning actions, select Push New Users, Push Profile Updates, and Push Groups.

Configure Authentication

For Authentication Mode, select HTTP Header.

Enter Authorization Token

For Authorization, enter the Bearer Token you obtained in the Iru Endpoint tab.

Save App Settings

Select Save.

Configure Attribute Mappings

(optional) In the Attribute Mappings, edit the user attributes to send to Iru Endpoint. Iru Endpoint will only store and use the attributes mentioned in the SCIM Directory Integration article.

Assigning Users to Iru Endpoint

In Okta, the same group cannot be used on both the Assignments tab and the Push Groups tab. To avoid that conflict, create one assignment group for SCIM app access (for example, iru_endpoint_users) and keep it in sync with the users in your pushed groups. Then assign that assignment group to the SCIM app.

This is one example of assigning users to Iru Endpoint through Okta SCIM.

Create the assignment group

Navigate to Groups

In a new browser tab, navigate to Directory > Groups and select Add Group.

Create User Group

Give the group a meaningful name like iru_endpoint_users and select Save.

Add members with a group rule

Use this when people in your push groups (for example, Sales and Engineering) should automatically become members of iru_endpoint_users. If you follow these steps, you do not need to bulk-add those users by hand.

Open Group Rules

Go to Directory > Groups > Rules and select Add Rule.

Okta Directory Groups Rules page with Add Rule

Name the rule

Enter a rule name (for example, Update iru_endpoint_users group membership).

Configure group membership condition

Under IF, select Use basic condition and Group membership, then set includes any of the following and choose the groups you plan to push (for example, Sales and Engineering).

Assign target group

Under Then Assign to, select iru_endpoint_users, then select Save.

Okta group rule IF condition with Use basic condition and Group membership

Activate the rule

Back on the Rules page, open Actions for the new rule and select Activate.

Okta Group Rules list with Actions menu and Activate

Add members manually

Use this when you are not using a group rule, for example, to add test users before push groups and rules are in place, or for people who must be in iru_endpoint_users but are not in any pushed group yet.

Add users to the assignment group

Search for iru_endpoint_users and add the users who should have the SCIM app.

Assign the group to the SCIM app

Return to SCIM App

Navigate back to the browser tab where the Okta SCIM app is open.

Access Assignments

Go to the Assignments tab, select Assign > Assign to Groups.

Assign Group

Search for the newly created group and select Assign > Save and Go Back.

Confirm Assignment

Confirm that the group was assigned and select Done. The group should now appear in the Assignments tab’s Groups section.

Refresh if Needed

If the group does not display, try refreshing the browser tab.

All users in iru_endpoint_users are provisioned to Iru Endpoint and appear in the Users module. To sync groups for conditional logic in Blueprints, continue with the next section.

Pushing Groups to Iru Endpoint

In this section, learn how to push user groups to Iru Endpoint.When planning to push Okta groups to Iru Endpoint for use with conditional logic in Blueprints, for each group that you would like to push, add it to the Push Groups tab in the SCIM app.

Per this Okta article, groups used to assign users in the Assignment tab cannot be used in the Push Groups tab. Okta recommends creating additional groups containing the same users and adding the new groups to the Push Groups tab for consistent group membership.

If the same group is added in both places, the assignment tab will take precedence, and the group may not be pushed. One way to handle this is to create a single “user assignment” group containing all your Iru Endpoint users and add that group to the Assignment tab. From there, you can use your existing Okta groups as Push Groups. Remember that for the user-group association to work, the members of the pushed groups must also be members of the Iru Endpoint users group assigned to the SCIM app.

Add groups on the Push Groups tab

On the SCIM app, add every Okta group that should appear in Iru Endpoint.

Access Push Groups

Open the Push Groups tab, select Push Groups, then Find groups by name (or Find groups by rule).

Select Group

Search for the group and select it.

Configure Group Creation

Select Create Group.

Save and Add Another

Select Save & Add Another.

Add Additional Groups

Add any other groups to push to Iru Endpoint.

Pushing Group Updates

User and group syncing is one-way, meaning the SCIM app sends user and group data to Iru Endpoint only when there is new or updated data. For this reason, a “Sync Now” option is not needed in the Iru Endpoint Web App.

If you add users to the group assigned to the SCIM app in Okta, be sure to also update the groups you have added as Push Groups.
Updates should be seen in Iru Endpoint fairly quickly; to push group updates immediately, use Push Now on the Push Groups tab in Okta. See the Okta article.

Deleting Pushed Groups

Use the following steps to stop pushing group updates or optionally delete a pushed group from Iru Endpoint.

Access Push Groups Tab

Go to the Push Groups tab for the app in Okta.

Unlink Push Group

In the Push Status column, select Unlink push group.

Configure Deletion

Select Delete the group in the target app (recommended). This removes the group in Iru Endpoint but does not delete user accounts. User accounts stay tied to the assignment group on the Provisioning tab.

Confirm Unlink

Select Unlink.

You should no longer see the group listed on the Push Groups tab.
