        2. Click on Admin->Identity Management from the navigation menu.
        3. Click on the Identity Providers tab.
        4. Click on ADD IDENTITY PROVIDER button.
        5. Enter Name and Description.
        6. Select Identity Provider Type as SAML.
        7. Click Add. A configuration page is displayed.

        1. Click on the Edit icon under SCIM Provider in the SCIM tab.
        2. Select Generic from the drop-down list for configuring an identity provider.
        3. Save the changes by clicking the icon next to the selection.
        4. Copy the SCIM URL and note it down. This URL is entered later to configure on the identity provider portal.
        5. Click on CREATE TOKEN.
        6. Enter the validity of the token and create a token. Copy this generated token and note it down. Click OK. This token is not displayed again. This token is entered later on the identity provider portal. 
        7. Click on RECREATE TOKEN button to generate a new token, if needed. 
        8. Click on EDIT TOKEN VALIDITY to update validity.
        9. Map the incoming attributes using the procedure explained in User mapping.

        User mapping

        After provisioning, by default, seven attributes from the identity provider are mapped to a Britive user.

        You can see the mapped attributes by checking the Mapped Attributes checkbox in the User Mapping section. Out of these attributes, Status, Email, First Name, Last Name, and Username are mandatory attributes. The identity provider must send these attributes for the user to get created in Britive.

        Additional user attributes from the identity provider can be configured in Britive. Follow these steps to map additional attributes:

        1. Select Admin->Identity Management from the navigation menu,
        2. Click on the Identity Attributes tab.
        3. Create a new attribute by clicking the ADD IDENTITY ATTRIBUTE button.
        4. Enter the following values on the Add Identity Attributes page:
          1. Enter the Name and description of the attribute.
          2. Select the type of attribute from the drop-down list.
          3. Check Multi valued for the attributes which can have multiple values. For example, user roles.
          4. Click ADD IDENTITY ATTRIBUTE. The created attribute is displayed in the list of identity attributes.
        5. Click the Identity Providers tab.
        6. Select the identity provider and click on the SCIM tab.
        7. Uncheck the Mapped Attributes checkbox to see the list of unmapped attributes.
        8. Click EDIT.
        9. Map the identity attribute with the incoming SCIM attribute.
        10. Click SAVE.
