Provisioning
API-Based Integration Path
An API-Based Integration Path is a custom onboarding route that manages the application through its exposed APIs.
Definition
An API-Based Integration Path uses the target application's available APIs to integrate authentication-adjacent or provisioning operations with the IAM platform. It can be a practical fallback when standards are missing, but it usually requires more target-specific engineering and governance than native OIDC or SCIM support.
The Ariovis perspective
Native capabilities and standard interfaces should be used before bespoke development. Custom work is justified only after its operational and maintenance impact has been qualified.
