# Configure Inbound SCIM for Identity Providers using SAML or OpenID

#### SAML Identity Providers

Any <Tooltip tip="Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML): Standardized protocol allowing two parties to exchange authentication information without a password." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=SAML">SAML</Tooltip> <Tooltip tip="Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML): Standardized protocol allowing two parties to exchange authentication information without a password." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=identity+provider">identity provider</Tooltip> using a [SAML Connection type](/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/enterprise-identity-providers/saml) must support outbound user provisioning using a SCIM 2.0 client or be used in concert with an external provisioning service that provides outbound user provisioning. Review the [official SCIM documentation](https://scim.cloud/#Implementations2) for a list of known SCIM 2.0 client implementations.

For instructions on how to configure SCIM for specific SAML identity providers, read [Inbound SCIM for Okta Workforce SAML Connections](/docs/authenticate/protocols/scim/inbound-scim-for-okta-workforce-saml-connections) and [Inbound SCIM for Azure AD SAML Connections](/docs/authenticate/protocols/scim/inbound-scim-for-azure-ad-saml-connections)

#### OpenID Connect Identity Providers

Any <Tooltip tip="OpenID: Open standard for authentication that allows applications to verify users' identities without collecting and storing login information." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=OpenID">OpenID</Tooltip> Connect identity provider using an [OpenID Connect connection](/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/enterprise-identity-providers/oidc) must support outbound user provisioning using a SCIM 2.0 client or be used in concert with an external provisioning service that provides outbound user provisioning. Review the [official SCIM documentation](https://scim.cloud/#Implementations2) for a list of known SCIM 2.0 client implementations.

To enable full user lifecycle management, your OpenID Connect identity provider must be configured to send the same value in both the [ID token](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#IDToken) `sub` attribute and the SCIM `externalId` attribute. These values are typically the identity provider's unique system identifier for the user, which Auth0 uses to identify the user during login.
