SCIM Integration for User Provisioning

User management can become overwhelming as your organization scales. SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) offers a standardized way to handle user provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning. With SCIM integration, Hoppscotch connects directly to your Identity Provider (IdP), helping you manage users in one place and reflect those changes across systems.

​

Setting Up SCIM Provisioning

Follow the steps below to configure SCIM-based user provisioning in Hoppscotch and integrate it with your Identity Provider (IdP).

​

1. Enable SCIM in Hoppscotch

• Open the Admin Dashboard and navigate to the Configurations section.
• Find the SCIM Provisioning option under User Provisioning block and enable it.
• Copy the SCIM Base URL (http(s)://<backend-URL>/scim/v2) provided after activation, as it will be needed for the integration.

​

2. Generate an InfraToken

• Go to the InfraTokens section of the dashboard.
• Create a new token for SCIM-related operations.
• Copy the InfraToken and store it securely, as it will be used to authenticate SCIM requests from your IdP.

​

3. Configure SCIM in your Identity Provider Example: Okta

• Log in to your Okta dashboard, select your application, and navigate to the application’s settings.
• Enable SCIM provisioning under the General tab.

• Go to the Provisioning > Integration section:
  • Paste the SCIM Base URL you copied from Hoppscotch.
  • Specify the unique identifier field for users (e.g., email) and configure provisioning actions (e.g., Import New Users, Profile Updates, Push New Users, Push Profile Updates) according to your requirements.
  • Use the InfraToken generated in the Hoppscotch Admin Dashboard as the Authorization Token and save the configuration.

• Under Provisioning > To App, enable the following actions:
  • Create Users
  • Update User Attributes
  • Deactivate Users Save the settings once done.

​

Add a custom attribute

SCIM supports extending the user schema to include custom fields to meet your organization’s specific requirements:

• In Okta, head to Directory > Profile Editor and locate the SCIM application.
• Click Add Attribute to create a custom attribute you wish to include in the provisioning process.

• Fill in the required fields and assign a valid External namespace. For SCIM 2.0, the following namespaces are supported in Okta:

# Use this for basic user attributes
urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User

# Use this for enterprise-specific user extensions
urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User

• Once finished, click Save Attribute to apply the changes.

The custom attribute will now be automatically synchronized during user creation or updates.
