SCIM and Okta status
What InCommon Federation supports today.
InCommon Federation does not publish SCIM support, so we list it as Not published. Ask the vendor before you count on it.
Many campus apps expect SAML sign in through the InCommon Federation. Okta can federate with InCommon through an adapter, as Okta describes, so those apps keep their federated sign in while StitchOps handles the accounts behind them.

Common questions.
Does InCommon Federation support SCIM?
InCommon Federation does not publish SCIM support, so we list it as Not published. Ask the vendor before you count on it.
Can InCommon Federation accounts be automated without upgrading?
Yes. StitchOps creates, changes and removes InCommon Federation 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 InCommon Federation in the Okta Integration Network?
No. As of October 20, 2026, the OIN has no listing for InCommon Federation. Okta can sign users in only through a custom app if InCommon Federation supports SAML or OIDC, and has no connector to manage InCommon Federation accounts.
Can Okta deprovision InCommon Federation users?
Not through an OIN connector. StitchOps removes InCommon Federation accounts the day someone leaves, anywhere a person can log in and act, and saves evidence of each removal.
How do you rotate InCommon Federation passwords when someone leaves?
StitchOps logs in to InCommon Federation, sets a new password, confirms it took effect, and updates 1Password, Keeper or the StitchOps vault in the same run.
