  7. Configure Operation, Full Scope, and Field Mapping.

    1. Operation: You can subscribe to specific change events to receive real-time push notifications. When a change occurs to a user within the IDaaS synchronization scope, a synchronization is automatically triggered to push the change to the application in real time.

    2. Full Scope: Specifies the data scope for a Push Now operation. You must specify at least one item to perform a Push Now operation.

    3. Field Mapping: Displays the field mapping relationships for SCIM-based synchronization. You can edit the mappings as needed.

  8. Test the connection.

    After you complete the configuration, click Save at the bottom of the page, and then click Test Connectivity to verify the configuration. If needed, you can use the Push Now feature to push all accounts within the synchronization scope to CloudSSO.

Step 3: Synchronize data

After you click Push Now, the accounts within the synchronization scope are synchronized to CloudSSO. After the push is successful, a success message is displayed. You can go to Log > Provisioning > Tasks to view the logs.
