From Inception to RFC – The SCIM Story
summary
SCIM aims to make moving users into, out of, and around the cloud fast, cheap and easy and becomes three published RFCs RFC 7642 7643 7644 after starting in the Open Web Foundation and moving to the IETF; initial releases ship in months (6 months to 1.0, 6 more to 1.1) but standardization to 2.0 takes 2.5 years. Work includes implemented clients and servers, a schema based on Portable Contacts, OpenSearch queries, a robustness principle for interoperability, a patch proved complex design tradeoff, and a PAM extension adopted by real deployments including large on‑prem installations.
