Softdrive SCIM Provisioning with Microsoft Entra

Prerequisites

• An Entra AD plan that supports custom, non-gallery applications.

• If using a local Active Directory, it must be synced with Entra AD.

• Do not add Softdrive from the Azure App Gallery. You must create a custom enterprise application as explained below.

• Get a SCIM token from Softdrive by contacting support@softdrive.co.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create a custom Enterprise Application

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra portal.

2. Navigate to: Applications → Enterprise Applications
    

3. Click + New application → + Create your own application

4. Name your app (e.g., Softdrive SCIM)

5. Select:
   "Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery"
    

6. Open the newly created app → go to Provisioning

7. Click + New Configuration 

8. Configure the following fields:
   Tenant URL:
   https://softnet.softdrive.co/api/v1/automations/scim
   Secret Token:

9. Click Test Connection to verify.
   

10. Click Save

2. Attribute Mapping

⚠️ You must successfully test the connection and save the basic configuration before editing mappings.

Group Mappings

1. Go to the enterprise app → Provisioning → Attribute Mappings

2. Select: Provision Microsoft Entra ID Groups
    

3. Set mappings accordingly (based on your organization’s needs).

Note: Group provisioning requires a Microsoft Entra plan.

User Mappings

1. Go to the enterprise app → Provisioning → Attribute Mappings

2. Select: Provision Microsoft Entra ID Users
    

3. Set the following mappings

3. Provisioning Logic

a. Add Users & Groups

• Go to the app → Users and groups → + Add User / Group
   

• Only direct members are provisioned.

• Nested group members are not synced.

b. Testing

• Use Provision on Demand to test individual user provisioning.

• Group provisioning cannot be tested using this method.

c. Enable Automatic Provisioning

• Go to:
  Enterprise Application → your app → Provisioning → Overview → Start Provisioning
  
   

• Entra syncs automatically every ~40 minutes. (This interval is fixed.)

4. User Deactivation & Deletion

5. Limitations & Notes

• User type changes must be handled manually or via custom attributes.

• Group owners are not supported.

• Use service accounts for SCIM token generation to avoid disruption.

• SCIM sync is one-way only: changes in Softdrive do not sync back to Microsoft Entra.
