Welcome to the guide to setting up the Microsoft Entra SCIM integration for provisioning users on the Paladin platform. We’ll provide step-by-step instructions on how to configure the integration between Entra and Paladin, enabling seamless user provisioning and management.
The Guide covers configuring the SCIM integration in Entra, mapping attributes between Entra and the Paladin system, and testing the provisioning functionality.
Before you begin, it is assumed that you have a basic understanding of Entra and the Paladin system. Familiarity with user management concepts and experience with system administration will also be helpful.
<aside> 👉
A few of the values needed for SSO and SCIM configuration are provided by Paladin. When you’re ready to set up sign-on and user provisioning, please reach out to your Paladin representative or [email protected]; and we’ll assist with the configuration.

SCIM stands for System for Cross-domain Identity Management. It is an open standard protocol that allows for the automation of user provisioning and management between identity providers (such as Entra) and service providers (such as Paladin). The SCIM API enables the exchange of user identity data, including user creation, modification, and deletion, in a standardized and secure manner.
If your organization already uses SSO to access Paladin, then you already have an Enterprise Application connected to Paladin. To enable user provisioning via SCIM, we will edit that application rather than creating a new one. If you do not need to create a new application, you can skip to the “Set Up SCIM Provisioning” Section below.

If you are setting up SSO and SCIM at the same time, then you will need to create a new Entra Enterprise Application.

Step 1: In the Microsoft Entra Admin Center, search for “Enterprise applications” and select “New application”.
Step 2: Select Create your own application to open the application creation dialog.
Step 3: Name your application (e.g., Paladin SCIM Integration), select “Integrate any other application you don’t find in the gallery (Non-gallery)”, and click Create.
