IBM Security Directory Integrator, Version 7.2

Business scenarios

The SCIM protocol is often adopted for user and group management on non-LDAP systems. New applications, both inside the enterprise and in cloud-related scenarios, can use HTTP REST to abstract away the underlying technology.

SCIM can be used successfully in the following scenarios:

Internal deployment of new identity services with SCIM as a provisioning protocol for long-term future use.
Internal or external cloud where LDAP is unacceptable as protocol.
Provisioning to SaaS applications that have SCIM as the user management interface.

For more information, see the SCIM website at http://www.simplecloud.info/ and search for SCIM scenarios.
