## chainctl iam identity-providers scim token generate

Generate the first SCIM bearer token for an identity provider.

### Synopsis

Generate the first SCIM bearer token for an identity provider. Provisioning stays off until SCIM is explicitly enabled for the identity provider. The plaintext token is shown exactly once; only its SHA-256 digest is stored. If a token already exists (even expired or revoked), regenerate it instead.

```
chainctl iam identity-providers scim token generate IDENTITY_PROVIDER [--output=json] [flags]
```

### Examples

```
  # Generate a SCIM token that expires in a year
  chainctl iam identity-providers scim token generate my-idp --expires-in 8760h
```

### Options

```
      --expires-in duration   How long until the token expires (maximum two years). Unset defaults to one year.
      --never-expires         Explicitly issue a token without a planned expiry.
```
