The SCIM Gateway for Azure AD from Aquera is a cloud-based service providing instant out-of-the-box connectivity between Azure AD and all provisioning target applications, directories, databases, or devices that an organization operates, which are not covered by the Azure AD connector portfolio.

The SCIM Gateway powers Azure AD to create, read (import), update, deactivate, and delete user accounts in any application, database, directory, or device via the Azure AD SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) protocol interface. The SCIM protocol is an IETF standard for automating the exchange of user identity information between identity domains and IT systems. The breadth of integration even includes provisioning users to cloud applications without user management APIs via admin console automation and to custom homegrown applications via SQL calls or admin console automation.

The comprehensive list of SCIM gateway integration methods supported for the provisioning targets include REST APIs, SOAP or web service APIs, admin console automation, SQL, FTP, LDAP, SDKs, code libraries, and middleware messaging queues. For all employees, partners, and customers, Azure AD combined with the SCIM Gateway for Azure AD fully automates the account lifecycle process (account provisioning, update, deactivation, and deletion) for any application, database, directory, or device.
