Entra ID SCIM user and group provisioning

Allows provisioning users and groups from Entra ID to authentik using a SCIM source.

Preparation​

The following placeholders are used in this guide:

  • authentik.company is the FQDN of the authentik install.

authentik configuration​

To integrate authentik with Entra ID via SCIM you will need to create a SCIM source in authentik.

Create SCIM source​

  1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
  2. Navigate to Directory > Federation and Social login, click Create, and then configure the following settings:
    • Select type: select SCIM Source.
    • Create SCIM Source: provide a name and a slug.
    • All other configurations are optional.
  3. Click Finish.
  4. On the Federation and Social login page, click on the name of the newly created SCIM source.
  5. Take note of the SCIM Base URL. This value will be required in the next section.
  6. Under Token, click Click to copy token and securely store the value. This value will also be required in the next section.
Copying the token

If authentik has the required browser permissions, the token will be copied into your clipboard after clicking Click to copy token button. However, some browsers don't allow this, in those cases a notification will appear in the bottom right corner with the token and you will need to manually copy it.

Entra ID configuration​

Create a custom enterprise application​

  1. Log in to Entra ID using a global administrator account.
  2. Navigate to Enterprise apps, click Create your own application, and configure the following fields:

    • Select Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery).
  3. Click Create.

Configure provisioning​

  1. Navigate to Provisioning, click New Configuration, and configure the following fields:

    • Secret Token: Set to the Token from authentik.
  2. Click Test connection to validate that Entra ID can communicate with authentik.
  3. If the connection is successful, click Create and Save. If the connection fails, ensure that your authentik SCIM Base URL is accessible from the internet.
