+## Okta (SCIM) Adapter
+
+You can synchronize users and groups from your Okta identity management service to HPE GreenLake Flex Solutions using the Okta System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) adapter. 
+The Okta SCIM adapter application can be installed from the Okta Integration Network (OIN) into your Okta implementation to allow for integration with a SCIM-compliant API. Any user that needs to be synchronized to HPE GreenLake Flex Solutions must be assigned to the Okta SCIM adapter application in your Okta implementation. Groups whose memberships need to be synced to HPE GreenLake Flex Solutions must be added as a Push Group in the application. Users can be assigned to the application using the same groups that are synchronized to HPE GreenLake Flex Solutions.

+# Configuring a SCIM application in Okta.
+* Step 1: In the Okta Admin Console, deploy an application from the app catalog. 
+a.    Go to Applications > Browse App Catalog.
+b.    In the search bar type SCIM 2.0, and find the app called: SCIM 2.0 Test App (OAuth Bearer Token)
+c.    Select the app and then click Add Integration.
+* Step 2:  In the Add Scim2.0 Test App page, do the following:
+a.    Change the application label name if you want and make sure Automatically log in when user lands on login page is checked.

+
+b.    Click **Next.** On the following page, click **Done**.
+
+Step 3: After the application is created, configure the integration.
+a. Click the Provisioning tab, then select Configure API Integration. 
+b.Select the Enable API Integration check box.
+c. In the SCIM 2.0 Base Url field, enter: https://sps.us1.greenlake-hpe.com/v1alpha1/scimproxy.       
+d. In the OAuth Bearer Token field: [link to create long-lived tokens for user provisioning]Step 2 & 3
+e. Uncheck the box for the Import Groups option.
+f. Test that the URL and token are valid by clicking Test API Credentials, then click Save. If everything is correct, the following message is shown:
+* SCIM 2.0 Base Url: https://sps.us1.greenlake-hpe.com/v1alpha1/scimproxy         
+* Token: [link to create long-lived tokens for user provisioning](https://developer.hpe.com/blog/configuring-azure-ad-with-long-term-token-for-scim-provisiong/) **Step 2 & 3**
+* **Uncheck** the box for Import Groups
+
+After URL and Token are added test to make sure they are valid by clicking > **Test API** **Credentials** and **Save** if everything is correct should return the following message:

+
+* Step 4. Configure the synchronization settings. 
+a:  Under the **Provisioning** tab > **To App** section, enable these settings:
+
+- Create Users

+
+* Step 4 b: Select the six attributes shown in the following screenshot and discard the rest.

+
+**4c** Assign the group you want to synchronize to HPE GreenLake Flex Solutions to the SCIM application under the Application > Assignments tab and add it as a push group in  the Push Groups tab.
+
+
+
+**Assignments** tab:
+
+![](/img/scim-group.png "Assignments tab")
+
+
+
+**Push Groups** tab:
+
+![](/img/scim-push.png "Push Groups tab:")
+
+**Please note:**
+Adding the Group Everyone group to the SCIM application could have unintended effects on all users. 
+
+These are all the steps required to configure a SCIM 2.0 application.  Remember that users must be members of a group that is assigned to the SCIM application and that group must be included in a push group. 
+Now all configured groups can be pushed into HPE GreenLake Flex Solutions via the Okta SCIM Adapter.
