chainctl iam identity-providers describe

Describe an identity provider.

Synopsis

Describe an identity provider, including its OIDC configuration and SCIM provisioning status.

The SCIM row reports one of: enabled SCIM provisioning is on. disabled SCIM provisioning is off. not reported the API surface did not return SCIM status (for example, a v1-negotiated organization). This is not the same as disabled.

When SCIM is reported, describe also shows the credential lifecycle state (live, not_issued, expired, revoked, or rotating), the SCIM endpoint URL, and the token expiry, so an enabled-but-expired or tokenless provider is not mistaken for a healthy one.

In JSON output the same three states are {“scim”:{“enabled”:true}}, {“scim”:{“enabled”:false}}, and the scim key omitted entirely. A missing scim key means “not reported”, not “disabled”, so a scripted check must treat it as unknown rather than off (with jq, “.scim == null” is unknown and “.scim.enabled” is the boolean when present).

To change SCIM state or manage tokens, see: chainctl iam identity-providers scim –help

chainctl iam identity-providers describe [IDENTITY_PROVIDER_NAME | IDENTITY_PROVIDER_ID] [--output=json|table]
