SCIM System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM)

跨域身份管理系统(SCIM)标准启用。很多供应商均支持这一标准，这使得其易于传播身份信息，例如在软件即服务(SaaS)和企业内部部署的应用程序很容易的创建和删除账户。Courion公司称这种链接为“连接器”，而其他一些供应商则有现成的或可定制的产品。

Overview

The System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) specification is designed to make managing user identities in cloud-based applications and services easier. The specification suite seeks to build upon experience with existing schemas and deployments, placing specific emphasis on simplicity of development and integration, while applying existing authentication, authorization, and privacy models. Its intent is to reduce the cost and complexity of user management operations by providing a common user schema and extension model, as well as binding documents to provide patterns for exchanging this schema using standard protocols. In essence: make it fast, cheap, and easy to move users in to, out of, and around the cloud.

Model

SCIM 2.0 is built on a object model where a Resource is the common denominator and all SCIM objects are derived from it. It has id, externalId and meta as attribute and RFC7643 defines User, Group and EnterpriseUser that extends the common attributes.
