How Can I Map Fields in SCIM Applications so that EmailID and UserName Are Identical?
Question
How can I map fields in SCIM applications so that emailID and userName are identical?
Environment
Answer
You need to ensure a particular set of fields have matching values. The setup process depends on the SCIM service you are using:
Entra ID
Set the same Attribute source for the following claims in the Microsoft Entra admin center:
- Unique User Identifier (Name ID)
- emailaddress
- name
To verify and make the relevant changes, if needed, do the following:
- In your Microsoft Entra admin center, go to Manage > Enterprise applications.
- Find your Fivetran Entra SCIM application.
- Go to Manage > Single sign-on.
- Under Attributes & Claims, click the pencil icon.
- Check and, if needed, adjust the Attribute source for the Unique User Identifier (Name ID), emailaddress, and name claims.
Okta
We recommend setting Email as a username format.
In some cases, however, you may need to use Okta username as a username format. In any case, you need to verify that the value displayed for the selected username format matches the value displayed for the Email (email) Attribute:
- In your Admin console, go to Directory > People > Applications.
- Find your Fivetran Okta SCIM application.
- Under Assignments > People, click the pencil icon beside the relevant Okta user entry. The Edit User Assignment popup opens.
- Depending on you selected username format, make a note of the following values:
- Username - if you chose Okta username as a username format.
- Email - if you chose Email as a username format.
- Close the window.
- Under Provisioning > To App, scroll down to the App Attribute Mappings group and click the pencil icon beside the Email (email) attribute.
- Make sure the Attribute value displayed matches the value of the selected username format. If it does not match, find an attribute value from the list that matches the value of the selected username format.
- Click Save.
