OCI

Enhance identity management in SCM with an advanced SCIM integration for OCI, automating user and group provisioning.
This procedure outlines the steps to configure SCIM-based user and group provisioning between OCI and Strata Cloud Manager. By automating identity and access management, you can enhance security and improve operational efficiency within your Strata Cloud Manager environment. Follow these steps to set up the integration:
  1. Set up Strata Cloud Manager to use SCIM-based provisioning for identity access management.
    1. Create a TSG.
    2. Create a Service Account with a Superuser role inside the TSG you created.
      Save the client credentials for later use.

    6. Test Connectivity to verify that OCI can successfully establish a connection and authenticate with the Strata Cloud Manager SCIM endpoint.
    7. Select Refresh Application Data to retrieve available Strata Cloud Manager access policies (roles or groups) from Strata Cloud Manager.
    8. Select ImportRun Import to import existing users and groups from Strata Cloud Manager into OCI.
    9. Assign Users and Access Policies in OCI for Strata Cloud Manager Synchronization.
      1. Select UsersAssign Users and then select the user or users you wish to provision to Strata Cloud Manager.
