DatH.59242 (Customer) asked a question.
I have a SAML application with SCIM provisioning enabled to send deactivation updates to our internal SCIM server. Our SCIM server only supports PATCH requests at the moment and we've found that Okta was sending PUT requests. How can we make sure Okta sends PATCH requests instead of PUT?

Hi @DatH.59242 (Customer) Quick Followup on this.
During my research, I came across the following article that seems to suggest that there is a way to change from PUT to PATCH, but it implies submitting your application to our Okta Integrations Network team via oinmanager.okta.com, and they might be able to change the method from the back end.
