Okta send user UID instead of username to App during SCIM prov.
Hi, has anyone faced similar issue or have any inputs here - i've setup SCIM provisioning between Okta and an app. The provisioning works fine but the username value sent to the application is in format of okta user object uid (alphanumeric) instead of actual username. The preview of the username in profile mapping gives the correct username, however during provisioning the user object uid is sent to app.
I've not faced this something you could check besides looking at the profile mapping would be to double check how the "Credentials Details -> Application username format" is configured on the "Sign Up" tab for your app. If you edit that top section you can perform a preview to see what returns.
Just to be clear, you saying the "userName" value in the POST to /Users is sending your app SCIM client the Okta UID? https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/scim/scim-20/#create-the-user
Hi @MatthewH.10249 (State of Iowa) , thanks for your reply. I've tried every possible way in profile editor - also created another custom attribute and preview the username value (during preview in Okta, the username shows correctly), however as soon as i add the user to app and SCIM initiates user provisioning, the value of the username attribute in app user profile is set to alphanumeric value of username (id). Unable to figure out, why this is happening.
Just to be clear, you saying the "userName" value in the POST to /Users is sending your app SCIM client the Okta UID? - that's correct. Ideally, userName should be sent instead of Okta UID.
