Introduction

This document covers commonly encountered errors and issues with inbound provisioning API and how to troubleshoot them.

Troubleshooting scenarios

Invalid data format

Issue description

  • You're getting the error message Invalid Data Format with HTTP 400 (Bad Request) response code.

Probable causes

  1. You're sending a valid bulk request as per the provisioning /bulkUpload API specs, but you have not set the HTTP Request Header 'Content-Type' to application/scim+json.
  2. You're sending a bulk request that doesn't comply to the provisioning /bulkUpload API specs.

Resolution:

  1. Ensure the HTTP Request has the Content-Type header set to the value application/scim+json.
  2. Ensure that the bulk request payload complies to the provisioning /bulkUpload API specs.

There's nothing in the provisioning logs

Issue description

  • You sent a request to the provisioning /bulkUpload API endpoint and you got HTTP 202 response code, but there's no data in the provisioning logs corresponding to your request.

Probable causes

  1. Your API-driven provisioning app is paused.
  2. The provisioning service is yet to update the provisioning logs with the bulk request processing details.
  3. Your On-premises provisioning agent status is inactive (If you are running the /API-driven inbound user provisioning to on-premises Active Directory).

Resolution:

  1. Verify that your provisioning app is running. If it isn't running, select the menu option Start provisioning to process the data.
  2. Turn your On-premises provisioning agent status to active by restarting the On-premises agent.
  3. Expect 5 to 10-minute delay between processing the request and writing to the provisioning logs. If your API client is sending data to the provisioning /bulkUpload API endpoint, then introduce a time delay between the request invocation and provisioning logs query.

Forbidden 403 response code

Issue description

  • You sent a request to the provisioning /bulkUpload API endpoint and you got HTTP 403 (Forbidden) response code.

Probable causes

  • The Graph permission SynchronizationData-User.Upload is not assigned to your API client.

Resolution:

  • Assign your API client the Graph permission SynchronizationData-User.Upload and retry the operation.

Too many requests 429 response code

The bulkUpload API endpoint enforces the following throttling limits and returns a 429 response code if these limits are breached.

  • 40 API calls per 5 seconds – if the number of calls go beyond this limit in a 5-second range, then the client gets a 429 response. One way to avoid this is by pacing the request submission using delays in the client request submission logic. 

  • 6000 API calls over a 24-hour period – if the number of calls go beyond this limit, then the client gets a 429 response. One way to prevent this is to make sure that your SCIM bulk payload is optimized to use the max 50 records per API call. With this approach, you can send 300K records every 24 hours.

Unauthorized 401 response code

Issue description

  • You sent a request to the provisioning /bulkUpload API endpoint and you got HTTP 401 (Unauthorized) response code. The error code displays "InvalidAuthenticationToken" with a message that the "Access token has expired or is not yet valid."

Probable causes

  • Your access token has expired.

Resolution:

  • Generate a new access token for your API client.

The job enters quarantine state

Issue description

  • You just started the provisioning app and it is in quarantine state.

Probable causes

  • You have not set the notification email prior to starting the job.

Resolution: Go to the Edit Provisioning menu item. Under Settings there's a checkbox next to Send an email notification when a failure occurs and a field to input your Notification Email. Make sure to check the box, provide an email, and save the change. Click on Restart provisioning to get the job out of quarantine.

User creation - Invalid UPN

Issue description There's a user provisioning failure. The provisioning logs displays the error code: AzureActiveDirectoryInvalidUserPrincipalName.

Resolution:

  1. Got to the Edit Attribute Mappings page.
  2. Select the UserPrincipalName mapping and update it to use the RandomString function.
  3. Copy and paste this expression into the expression box: Join("", Replace([userName], , "(?<Suffix>@(.)*)", "Suffix", "", , ), RandomString(3, 3, 0, 0, 0, ), "@", DefaultDomain())

This expression fixes the issue by appending a random number to the UPN value accepted by Microsoft Entra ID.

User creation failed - Invalid domain

Issue description There's a user provisioning failure. The provisioning logs displays an error message that states domain does not exist.

Resolution:

  1. Go to the Edit Attribute Mappings page.
  2. Select the UserPrincipalName mapping and copy and paste this expression into the expression input box: Join("", Replace([userName], , "(?<Suffix>@(.)*)", "Suffix", "", , ), RandomString(3, 3, 0, 0, 0, ), "@", DefaultDomain())

This expression fixes the issue by appending a default domain to the UPN value accepted by Microsoft Entra ID.
