SCIM 2.0 Interoperability Profile

This document defines an implementation profile for the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) 2.0. In the typical deployment model, an identity provider acting as a SCIM Client provisions and manages identities at multiple downstream service providers, while each service provider (commonly a multi-tenant application serving many customers) accepts provisioning connections from multiple different identity providers. This many-to-many integration model compounds the interoperability challenges arising from the wide range of optional features and implementation variations permitted by the base specification. This profile addresses those challenges by restricting the optional features and protocol variations permitted under the base specification and by establishing normative requirements for a common implementation baseline.
