| Joiners | No account creation in the OIN. | Creates the IBM RACF account with the right role on day one, anywhere a person can log in and act. |
| Movers | No account updates in the OIN. | Changes IBM RACF roles and access when someone changes jobs, anywhere a person can log in and act. |
| Leavers | No deprovisioning in the OIN. | Removes IBM RACF access the day someone leaves, anywhere a person can log in and act, and saves evidence of the removal. |
| Password rotation | No password rotation in IBM RACF. | Changes the IBM RACF password on a schedule and the day someone leaves, and updates your vault in the same run. |
| Access reviews | No connector to read or remove IBM RACF accounts. | Pulls the IBM RACF user list on a schedule, compares it to your directory, and removes what you approve. |

Common questions.
Does IBM RACF support SCIM?
IBM RACF has no SCIM provisioning, per the source below. Accounts are managed in the system itself.
Can IBM RACF accounts be automated without upgrading?
Yes. StitchOps creates, changes and removes IBM RACF accounts on the plan you already have, triggered by the events your identity provider already sends. It uses an API when one exists and works anywhere a person can log in and act when one does not.
Is IBM RACF in the Okta Integration Network?
No. As of October 20, 2026, the OIN has no listing for IBM RACF. Okta can sign users in only through a custom app if IBM RACF supports SAML or OIDC, and has no connector to manage IBM RACF accounts.
Can Okta deprovision IBM RACF users?
Not through an OIN connector. StitchOps removes IBM RACF accounts the day someone leaves, anywhere a person can log in and act, and saves evidence of each removal.
How do you rotate IBM RACF passwords when someone leaves?
StitchOps logs in to IBM RACF, sets a new password, confirms it took effect, and updates 1Password, Keeper or the StitchOps vault in the same run.
