Hello, Does Gluu natively supports to act as an SCIM client, sending provisioning requests to SCIM API exposed by a third-party component? Based from what I saw in documentation, it doesn't seem to, so I think there might be some development to do, to integrate SCIM client library and use it to issue provisioning messages on identity management events. Did I understand correctly or did I miss something? And, if I understood correctly and there's development to be done, do you have any hints to do it as properly as possible? Thanks, Olivier

Hi Oliver, The Gluu Server is a SCIM Server. We offer a [SCIM client](https://github.com/GluuFederation/SCIM-Client) which can be used to interface with Gluu's SCIM Server. The Gluu Server is a consumer of identity data. So if you have another SCIM Server, or some application that is doing user enrollment, for instance, you should use the SCIM Client to send data to the Gluu Server. Does that help clarify? Thanks, Will

Hi Will, It was pretty clear in my understanding that Gluu can natively act as a consumer of identity data through its SCIM server features. My question is: is it possible for Gluu to act as an identity data producer, sending user accounts provisioning messages? Regards, Olivier
