Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) P. Hunt, Ed. Request for Comments: 7644 Oracle Category: Standards Track K. Grizzle ISSN: 2070-1721 SailPoint M. Ansari Cisco E. Wahlstroem Nexus Technology C. Mortimore Salesforce September 2015 System for Cross-domain Identity Management: Protocol Abstract The System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) specification is an HTTP-based protocol that makes managing identities in multi- domain scenarios easier to support via a standardized service. Examples include, but are not limited to, enterprise-to-cloud service providers and inter-cloud scenarios. 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. SCIM's intent is to reduce the cost and complexity of user management operations by providing a common user schema, an extension model, and a service protocol defined by this document.
