Just-in-time provisioning with ADSelfService Plus

Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning for enterprise applications

As enterprises steadily shift to cloud services and remote work, their usage of SaaS applications for productivity and scalability has greatly increased. Efficiently managing user identities across multiple applications is crucial for cybersecurity. The System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is a lightweight REST- and JSON-based standard developed to systematically manage identities across multiple platforms. User life cycle management becomes seamless with SCIM user provisioning across enterprise applications.

ADSelfService Plus provides automated, real-time JIT user provisioning for enterprise applications using the SCIM protocol. Users can enjoy smooth access to the applications assigned to them right from the first login.

Why do you need JIT user provisioning?

Without JIT provisioning, IT administrators must manually create accounts for users within each assigned application. This method is taxing, error-prone, and time-consuming, especially when numerous users and applications are involved. Using CSV files and custom APIs to perform this operation is also inefficient as it still consumes time, resources, and expenses. Moreover, manual provisioning hinders users' productivity as they depend on the IT team for first-time app access.

JIT provisioning, which is based on the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), automatically creates accounts for users when they access an application for the first time. It overcomes the challenges of manual provisioning and allows users to securely and seamlessly access necessary enterprise applications.

Benefits of JIT provisioning

• Provides real-time, automated user provisioning
• Reduces IT workload
• Enables seamless and prompt application access for end users
• Is easy to employ
• Reduces costs and complexity
• Is built on existing standards such as LDAP directory services and uses familiar JSON and HTTP protocols

How ADSelfService Plus can help your business with JIT provisioning

ADSelfService Plus automates user provisioning for enterprise applications in real-time using SCIM. It automatically creates accounts for users in applications assigned to them during initial login. For instance, when a user assigned the Salesforce application through ADSelfService Plus logs in to Salesforce for the first time, an account is automatically created for them in Salesforce. With ADSelfService Plus, users can effortlessly access enterprise apps upon their initial login through secure SSO without waiting for an IT administrator to perform manual provisioning.
