SCIM-2 Overview
System for Cross Domain Identity Management (SCIM)
The System for Cross Domain Identity Management (SCIM) is an Internet Task Engineering Force (IETF) standard for transmitting digital identity data between domains. The SCIM 2.0 standard is published with the IETF at SCIM Protocol and SCIM Schema. Webex supports both the Core Schema and Enterprise Extension schema. This standard allows for interoperability with SCIM 2.0 compliant clients and simplifies automating user identity provisioning to Webex.
