Troubleshooting Tips

1. Sobol Account: You MUST have a Sobol account in order to set up provisioning. If for any reason you do not have the following, please contact [e-mail].

2. Org ID: Configuring SCIM requires the use of your tenant’s ORG_ID. To obtain one, take note at the URL when using your instance of Sobol: https://sobol.io/d/org/[ORG_ID]

3. SCIM Endpoint: All SCIM endpoints for your tenant are housed under the following URL scheme: https://sobol.io/d/scim/v2/org/[ORG_ID].

4. Authentication Formats: Sobol supports Header Authentication (Bearer Token) using keys available in both HS256 and RS256 JWT formats. Some services such as AzureAD require smaller, more lean keys in which case please use HS256.

5. Supported Mappings: as of now, Sobol ONLY supports the provisioning of the following Okta attributes:

6. 1. First Name - firstName

   2. Last Name - lastName

   3. Email - email

7. Username format: all users mapped across Sobol and Okta use their email to uniquely identify them.

8. Password Sync - given that Sobol does not store passwords directly, we do not support the Password Sync SCIM feature.

9. Groups - as of now, Sobol has no utilization for the Groups SCIM feature although this might change in the near future.

10. HTTP Patch Support: we currently ONLY support activation and deactivation using HTTP Patch.

11. Email Type - we currently do not support the `emailType` attribute and default this value to “work” as part of our SCIM responses.
