This topic demonstrates the usage of the how to use different web services API exposed by Identity Server, to write a client application(remote-user-mgt sample with the ) to handle user management functionality of WSO2 Identity Server . This sample provides a means of writing a Web service client for authentication and user administration services. remotely. The remote-user-mgt sample uses AuthenticationAdmin, RemoteUserStoreManagerService and RemoteAuthorizationManagerService admin services to perform different operations.

Info

You can learn more about the admin services used in this sample by referring Calling Admin Services, Managing Users and Roles with APIs and Managing Permissions with APIs.

  1. Create a folder in your local machine and navigate to it using your command line.
  2. Download the Java sample from GitHub from the link below. Follow these instructions to checkout the samples folder. Go to user-mgt/remote-user-mgt. The location of this folder (is-samples/modules/samples/user-mgt/remote-user-mgt) will be referred to as <remote-user-mgt_HOME> from this point onwards.

  3. Open the <remote-user-mgt_HOME>/build.xml file and update the ${wso2is.home} value with your IS home. Do this by modifying the wso2is.home property in a manner similar to the following.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <property name="wso2is.home" value="/Users/Sam/Documents/IS/SampleTest/wso2is-5.3.0/"/>
  4. Update the RemoteUMSampleConstants.java file located in is-samples/modules/samples/user-mgt/remote-user-mgt/src/main/java/org/wso2/remoteum/sample with the directory that your WSO2 Identity Server instance is located. For example, the code will look similar to the following.

    Code Block
    languagejava
    public static final String IS_HOME ="/Users/Sam/Documents/IS/SampleTest/wso2is-5.3.0/";
  5. Start the Identity Server using the start up script found in the <IS_HOME>/bin directory.
    • Use wso2server.sh for Linux.
    • Use wso2server.bat for Windows.
    Note

    Note: Ensure that the port offset in the <IS_Home>/repository/conf/carbon.xml file is set at 0

  6. Download and install Apache Ant if you have not already done so.
  7. Modify the <remote-user-mgt_HOME>/client.properties file if the default configuration to run the sample is different. For example, if you have changed the password for your user, you need to update it here.
  8. Open a command line interface and navigate to the <remote-user-mgt_HOME> directory.
  9. Run the ant command at this directory level in the command line and observe the different user management operations performed remotely. In a successful run, you will see following logs,
  10. Log in to the Identity Server and go to Users and Roles in the Configure menu in the management console
  11. Click Users and you can now view the users created in the list using the sample.
