Project Overview
The System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is a standard protocol for managing user identities and their associated data across multiple systems. A SCIM implementation project typically involves the development and deployment of a SCIM service that can create, update, and delete user identities, as well as perform other identity management operations.
The project involved the integration of the SCIM service with existing identity management systems, such as Active Directory or LDAP, to ensure that user data is synchronized across all systems. Additionally, the project may involve the development of custom user interfaces or APIs to enable users to access and manage their own identity data. Overall, a SCIM implementation project can help organizations streamline their identity management processes and ensure that user data is consistent and up-to-date across all systems.
Purpose
The primary goal of Spritacular is to build a collaborative bridge between the global community of TLE observers and the scientific research ecosystem. By encouraging individuals to document sprites and related phenomena, NASA aims to tap into a new layer of citizen-driven data collection.
As the Spritacular platform grows, the initiative will roll out advanced tools that allow contributors to automatically compare their submissions against official lightning and storm datasets. This empowers participants not just to contribute data, but to engage more deeply in the scientific process, transforming passive observation into active collaboration.
Business Challenge
Implementing System for Cross -domain Identity Management (SCIM) can present several business challenges. Here are some of the common challenges:
The challenges were as follows:
- Integration with existing systems:
Integrating SCIM with existing systems and applications can be a complex and time -consuming process. It requires a thorough understanding of the system architecture and the ability to identify potential issues that may arise during the integration process.
- Data synchronization:
Ensuring that user data is accurately and consistently synchronized across all systems and applications can be a challenge. Data inconsistencies can lead to errors and can cause disruptions in business operations.
- Security:
SCIM implementation requires the transfer of sensitive user data across systems and applications. Ensuring the security of this data and protecting it from unauthorized access or cyberattacks is critical.
- Compliance:
SCIM implementation must comply with various regulatory requirements, such as data protection laws and industry standards. Compliance can be a complex process and may require significant effort and resources.
Our Solution
Use Azure Active Directory (AAD) for identity and access management: Azure Active Directory supports SCIM for user provisioning and synchronization across systems. By using AAD as the identity provider, user data can be automatically synchronized across systems in a secure and reliable manner.
- Implement a SCIM endpoint:
Azure provides the ability to create custom endpoints using Azure Functions, Azure API Management, or Azure Logic Apps. You can create a custom SCIM endpoint that connects to your existing identity management system and allows you to automate user provisioning and synchronization across systems.
- Use Microsoft Graph API:
Microsoft Graph API provides access to data in Azure Active Directory, and it supports SCIM for user provisioning and synchronization. By using Microsoft Graph API, you can automate the synchronization of user data across systems.
- Configure SCIM through Azure AD Connect:
Azure AD Connect provides the ability to configure SCIM provisioning for applications that support SCIM. By using Azure AD Connect, you can automate the synchronization of user data between Azure AD and the application.

Key Challenges
Integration with existing identity and access management systems: Integrating SCIM with existing identity and access management systems can be complex and may require significant changes to the existing system. Organizations may need to invest in additional tools or consulting services to ensure seamless integration.
Ensuring data accuracy and consistency: One of the main benefits of SCIM is its ability to automate user provisioning and synchronization across systems. However, ensuring data accuracy and consistency across systems can be a challenge. Organizations may need to establish data mapping and transformation processes to ensure data is accurately synchronized across systems.
Security concerns: SCIM involves the transfer of sensitive user data across systems, and ensuring the security of user data is critical. Organizations must ensure that they implement appropriate security measures, such as encryption, to protect user data in transit.
