A claim is a piece of information about a particular subject. It can be anything that the subject is owned by or associated with, such as name, group, preferences, etc. A claim provides a single and general notion to define the identity information related to the subject.

A user claim is a claim that is related to a user. It can be used to specify information that is directly related to the user, such as claims related to the street address, username, email, first name, and more. 

An identity claim is a special claim related to identity management. It can be used to specify information about the user account or the state of a user account such as the lastLoginTime, accountDisabled and accountLocked claims. Identity claims are identified by the claim URI. All identity claims have the term "identity" appended to the claim URI as follows: http://wso2.org/claims/identity/accountDisabled. 

Note

By default, identity claim values are stored in the JDBC datasource configured in the identity.xml file. If needed, you can configure WSO2 IS to store the claim values in the userstore as well.

  1. Open the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity/identity.xml file and do the following configuration to change the Data.Store property value to UserStoreBasedIdentityDataStore. 

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <EventListener type="org.wso2.carbon.user.core.listener.UserOperationEventListener" name="org.wso2.carbon.identity.governance.listener.IdentityMgtEventListener" orderId="95" enable="true"/>
<EventListener type="org.wso2.carbon.user.core.listener.UserOperationEventListener" name="org.wso2.carbon.identity.governance.listener.IdentityStoreEventListener" orderId="97" enable="true">
<Property name="Data.Store">org.wso2.carbon.identity.governance.store.UserStoreBasedIdentityDataStore</Property>
</EventListener>

  2. The identity claims mentioned below should be mapped correctly to the attributes in the underlying user store. For more information on how to do this, see Adding Claim Mapping. 

See the following topics for information on configuring claims.
