Custom mapping with LDAP user synchronization
In the Maximo Application Suite user interface, you can now configure custom mapping for user data synchronized between your LDAP server and the user registry.

SCIM 2.0 protocol support for user and group synchronization
You can synchronize users and groups from an external identity provider (IdP) by using the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) 2.0 protocol. The SCIM specification defines a common schema for user and group resources with a protocol that defines how operations are performed on those resources. SCIM facilitates the exchange of these resources across different services.
For more information, see User synchronization with SCIM 2.0 and Configuring Maximo Application Suite to synchronize user and groups with SCIM 2.0.
