AdminT.03275 (Customer) asked a question.
I am talking about when querying the service provider for existence. Here https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/scim/scim-20/*create-users It says, "Okta checks that the User object exists on the SCIM server through a GET method request with the
filter=userName
Can the default, filter=username, be updated to filter by externalId?

Hello @AdminT.03275 (Customer) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
This should be achieved when you change the username format of the application. From the Sign On tab you can change that to match the required attribute desired.

@Paul S. (Okta, Inc.) I do not want to change the application username format, I'm looking to update the filter so that Okta checks the user object through a GET method request with the filter=externalId (instead of the default filter=userName). Is this possible?
@Paul S. (Okta, Inc.) to be clear, we're talking about the SCIM lookup in the SP for existence. From the Okta documentation:
Okta checks that the User object exists on the SCIM server through a GET method request with the
filter=userName
parameter (or any other filter parameter that was configured with the SCIM integration). This check is performed using the
eq
(equal) operator and is the only one necessary to successfully provision users with Okta.
This has nothing to do with SAML/Sign-On and the username format.
(We want to change this to lookup by externalId)
Hello @AdminT.03275 (Customer) You can change this from the Provisioning tab -> To Oktaa and there you can edit the change the user creation & matching. It would be "The following attribute match" where you can change it to ExternalID
