Deploy 1Password SCIM Bridge on DigitalOcean

Learn how to deploy 1Password SCIM Bridge on DigitalOcean, so you can integrate with your identity provider.

Tip

If you don’t use DigitalOcean, you can still automate provisioning in another deployment environment.

With 1Password Business, you can automate many common administrative tasks using 1Password SCIM Bridge. It uses the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) protocol to connect 1Password with your existing identity provider, like Google Workspace, JumpCloud, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, or Rippling.

You can deploy 1Password SCIM Bridge on DigitalOcean with the Marketplace app by following the steps below. Alternatively, you can deploy to the DigitalOcean App Platform, which is a more affordable and customizable deployment option.

Step 1: Deploy 1Password SCIM Bridge on DigitalOcean

If you don’t already have a DigitalOcean account, create one. Then follow these steps.

1.1: Create a cluster

The SCIM bridge must be deployed within a cluster. To create a cluster:

Visit 1Password SCIM Bridge on DigitalOcean Marketplace and select Install App.
Select New cluster > Install.
Scroll down to “Choose cluster capacity”.
Select Autoscale.
From the “Node plan” menu, select 1 GB RAM usable (2 GB total) / 2 vCPUs / 60 GB Disk.
Change “Minimum nodes” to 1, then change “Maximum nodes” to 3.
Scroll to the bottom and select Create Cluster.

Your cluster will now be created. After a few minutes, you’ll receive an email from DigitalOcean to confirm that your load balancer is ready.

1.2: Set up 1Password SCIM Bridge

After your load balancer is ready:

Click Networking in the sidebar and choose Load Balancers. You’ll see the IP address for your load balancer.
Configure a DNS A record for your chosen domain and point it to the IP address of your load balancer. For example: scim.example.com.
Wait for the DNS to propagate, then navigate to your SCIM bridge domain.

You’ll see 1Password SCIM Bridge Setup page.

Step 2: Connect 1Password SCIM Bridge to your 1Password account

On the 1Password SCIM Bridge Setup page:

Enter the domain name you configured for your load balancer to verify it.
Click Sign In and follow the onscreen instructions.

If you see the details for an existing provisioning integration, you’ll need to deactivate it first. Click More Actions and choose Deactivate Provisioning. Then click Sign In on the SCIM Bridge Setup page again.

2.2: Authenticate with 1Password SCIM Bridge

After you complete the setup process, you’ll get a scimsession file and bearer token. Save them both in 1Password in case you need them again.

Click Install on <yourdomain>. You’ll see the 1Password SCIM Bridge Status page.
Enter your OAuth bearer token and click Verify.

Important

The bearer token and scimsession file you receive during setup can be used together to access information from your 1Password account. You’ll need to share the bearer token with your identity provider, but it’s important to never share it with anyone else. And never share your scimsession file with anyone at all.

Step 3: Connect your identity provider to the SCIM bridge

Important

If you’ve already been using 1Password Business, make sure the email addresses and group names in your 1Password account are identical to those in your identity provider.

If anyone is using a different email address in 1Password, ask them to change it.
If you have existing groups in 1Password that you want to sync with groups in your identity provider, adjust the group names in 1Password.

Because 1Password SCIM Bridge provides a SCIM 2.0-compatible web service that accepts OAuth bearer tokens for authorization, you can use it with a variety of identity providers.

Connect to the load balancer where you’ve configured the SCIM bridge (for example: https://scim.example.com) and authenticate using your OAuth bearer token.
