Submit/Publish SCIM User provisioning capabilities to the already listed SSO application in Microsoft Entra application gallery

Question

Hi,

We have developed SCIM User provisioning for our existing SSO application, which is already listed in the Microsoft Entra application gallery. Now, we want to update the SSO application with SCIM capabilities.

When I went to the submitted page I saw this note: "We are currently not accepting new SSO or provisioning requests while we focus on the Secure Future Initiative. Update requests will be processed on a case-by-case basis."

I have a few questions:

• Does the above scenario qualify as an Update Request or a New Request?
• What does it mean when it states, "Update requests will be processed on a case-by-case basis?"

Answer 1

Adding SCIM provisioning functionality is a new provisioning request, not an update. Changing something about an existing provisioning integration (e.g.: adding a new attribute mapping, adding support for groups..) is considered an update. "Update requests will be processed on a case-by-case basis" means that there is no guarantee of an update request being processed in a certain time period after it is submitted. Requests for updates to existing provisioning integrations that are needed to avoid breaking changes or address security issues are examples of "cases" that would most likely be processed urgently.

Currently we are not accepting new requests for provisioning integrations. If you are the developer of an application and have customers that need to provision into your application via SCIM, they should use the custom non-gallery application, which includes a "generic" SCIM connector that is compatible with most SCIM servers.

To add the custom non-gallery app, from the Entra portal, click Enterprise Applications -> New Application -> Create your own application -> Select 'Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (non-gallery)' and click Create.

Hi @SaiManojKumar

Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.

I understand that you have developed SCIM user provisioning for your existing SSO application, which is already listed in the Microsoft Entra application gallery. Now, you want to update the SSO application to include SCIM capabilities.

Submitting new gallery listings (i.e., adding a new app to the Microsoft Entra gallery) is currently paused due to the Security Future Initiatives (SFI).

Does the above scenario qualify as an Update Request or a New Request?

Making changes or updates to existing apps that are already listed in the gallery is considered an Update Request.

What does it mean when it states, "Update requests will be processed on a case-by-case basis?"

Update requests will be processed on a case-by-case basis means that our team is selectively reviewing update requests for existing gallery listings, rather than automatically processing all updates. While some updates may be approved and processed, not all updates will be accepted or handled immediately. Each update request will be evaluated individually.

To update your existing application, you can submit your application update request through the Microsoft Application Network portal

If you are encountering any issues when requesting Microsoft application network portal, please let me know.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Thanks,

Navya.

In your scenario, since you are looking to add SCIM user provisioning capabilities to an existing SSO application that is already listed in the Microsoft Entra application gallery, this would qualify as an Update Request rather than a New Request.

The statement "Update requests will be processed on a case-by-case basis" means that each update request will be individually reviewed and evaluated by Microsoft. There may be specific criteria or considerations that determine whether the update can be approved, and it may not be guaranteed that all requests will be accepted.
