## TL;DR
Triage SCIM failures in this order: read the System Log task error, classify it (400 mapping, 401 credential, 404 URL, 409 duplicate), fix the matching config, and test with a single-user push. Most SCIM failures are mapping problems, not connectivity problems.

how to fix SCIM provisioning errors in Okta
```

## Use this when
- SCIM provisioning to any app is failing and you need a starting point.
- Multiple users fail the same way.
- The failure is new after a config or app change.

## Not for this skill when
- The failure is on the Okta Users API rather than app provisioning.
- Only deprovisioning fails. That points at the app's delete semantics.
- The error is clearly a 401. Fix the credential directly.

## Steps
1. Find the failure in the System Log filtered by the app and the provisioning event type. Verify: you have the task detail with the status code.
2. Classify: 400 means mapping, 401 means connector credential, 404 means base URL, 409 means duplicate. Verify: the class matches the evidence.
3. Fix the corresponding config: mapping, API token, base URL, or username format. Verify: the config change addresses the classified cause.
4. Use the push-now action on one user to test. Verify: the single push succeeds before touching bulk.
5. Re-enable scheduled pushes. Verify: the next cycle completes without the error class.

## Variant phrasings
### Okta SCIM troubleshooting
The generic how-to phrasing.
### provisioning failures debug
The action-first search.
### SCIM error codes list
The reference-first phrasing.

Compatibility: Okta SCIM 2.0 provisioning, Classic and Okta Identity Engine. The triage order works for any target app.

## Why it happens
Provisioning failures cluster into a few config areas, and each HTTP status points at one. Systematic triage beats guessing because the status code is the app telling you which config area is wrong.

## Edge cases / pitfalls
- Intermittent failures across users usually mean rate limits or target downtime, not config.
- Failures only on deprovision point at the app's delete or disable semantics.
- A 400 with an empty body needs attribute bisection, not more retries.
- Fixing the mapping but not re-pushing leaves users in the failed state; always verify the retry.
