Configuring SCIM 2.0 Provisioning Connector

This section provides instructions on how to configure the SCIM 2.0 connector with WSO2 Identity Server for identity provisioning.

About SCIM 2.0

The System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is a specification that is designed to manage user identities in cloud-based applications and services in a standardized way to enable interoperability, security, and scalability. It is an emerging open standard which provides RESTful APIs for easier, cheaper, and faster way for creating, provisioning, and maintaining identities. The latest version SCIM 2.0 was released as IETF RFC in September 2015.

Deploy SCIM 2.0 connector with IS

Note: SCIM 2.0 is supported by default in WSO2 Identity Server version 5.5.0. If you are using WSO2 Identity Server 5.5.0 or a later version, see SCIM 2.0 REST APIs for instructions on how to use SCIM 2.0 OOTB.

The below instructions provide a step-by-step approach to deploy SCIM 2.0 connector with WSO2 Identity Server:

Download the latest version of WSO2 Identity Server (IS) from here and extract it to a folder. Extracted folder will hereafter be referred to as <IS_HOME>.
Download the SCIM 2.0 connector artifacts for WSO2 Identity Server from here.
Expand to see what the SCIM 2.0 connector artifacts pack includes
- charon-config.xml
- claim-config-diff.txt
- org.wso2.carbon.identity.scim2.common-1.1.1.jar
- org.wso2.charon3.core-3.0.7.jar
- README
- scim2-schema-extension.config
- scim2.war
From the downloaded artifacts, place the org.wso2.charon.core-3.0.7.jar file in the <IS_HOME>/repository/components/lib folder.
Place the org.wso2.carbon.identity.scim2.common-1.1.1.jar file in the <IS_HOME>/repository/components/dropins folder.
Place the scim2.war in the <IS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/webapps folder.
Place the charon-config.xml in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity folder.
Place the scim2-schema-extension.config file in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf folder.

Append the following entries to the <ResourceAccessControl></ResourceAccessControl> element of the identity.xml file found in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity folder.

Disable the SCIM listener with the orderId=90 parameter by setting the enable parameter to false in the identity.xml file found in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity folder.
Then, add the SCIM2 listener with the orderid=93 parameter to the identity.xml file and ensure that the enable parameter is set to true.

<EventListener type="org.wso2.carbon.user.core.listener.UserOperationEventListener" name="org.wso2.carbon.identity.scim.common.listener.SCIMUserOperationListener" orderId="90" enable="false" />

<!-- Enable the following SCIM2 event listener and disable the above SCIM event listener if SCIM2 is used. -->

<EventListener type="org.wso2.carbon.user.core.listener.UserOperationEventListener" name="org.wso2.carbon.identity.scim2.common.listener.SCIMUserOperationListener" orderId="93" enable="true" />

If you will be using the tenant endpoint, add the following property within the <TenantContextsToRewrite> <WebApp> tag of the identity.xml file found in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity folder.
```
<Context>/scim2</Context>
```
Ensure that the following property is set to true to enable SCIM for the relevant userstore in the user-mgt.xml file found in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/ folder.
```
<Property name="SCIMEnabled">true</Property>
```

If you want to upgrade the SCIM 2.0 Connector in your existing IS pack, please refer upgrade instructions.

Configure claim dialects

Finally, you need to configure the claim dialects. You can use either method 1 or method 2 for this purpose.

Method 1

If you want to configure the connector on a new WSO2 Identity Server extract, follow the instructions given in the claim-config-diff.txt file that comes with the connector artifacts pack.

Method 2

If you are configuring the connector on an existing WSO2 Identity Server, add the claim dialects manually.

Start the WSO2 IS and login to the management console.
Navigate to Claims>Add and click Add Claim Dialect. Add the following claim dialects through the WSO2 IS management console.
For more information on how to add a claim dialect, see Adding Claim Dialects.
- urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0
- urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User
- urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User
Navigate to Claims>Add and click Add Local Claim. Add the following claim:
- Claim URI: http://wso2.org/claims/resourceType
- Display Name: Resource Type
- Mapped Attribute(s): ref
Navigate to Claims>Add and click Add External Claim. Add the claims listed in step ii) of the claim-config-diff.txt file, which comes with the connector artifacts pack, to the relevant claim dialect.
For more information on adding a claim mapping through the management console, see Adding Claim Mapping .
Ensure that the urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User:emails.workis mapped to the http://wso2.org/claims/emailaddress claim.

Execute one of the following commands to start the Identity Server.

On Windows: <IS_HOME>/bin/wso2server.bat --run
On Linux/Mac OS: sh <IS_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh

After the server has started up successfully, you can query the SCIM 2.0 REST endpoints. For simplicity, cURL commands are used here to send CRUD requests to the SCIM 2.0 REST endpoints of WSO2 Identity Server.

Extending the SCIM API

If you want to add any custom attributes, you can use the user schema extension in addition to core user schema. To add attributes with the user schema extension, do the following:

Enable the user schema extension by setting the <user-schema-extension-enabled> property to true in the charon-config.xml file that you placed in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity folder.
```
<Property name="user-schema-extension-enabled">true</Property>
```

Define the extension by adding attributes in the following format in the scim2-schema-extension.config file that you placed in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/ folder.

{
"attributeURI":"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User:askPassword",
"attributeName":"askPassword",
"dataType":"boolean",
"multiValued":"false",
"description":"Enable password change required notification in the user creation.",
"required":"false",
"caseExact":"false",
"mutability":"readwrite",
"returned":"default",
"uniqueness":"none",
"subAttributes":"null",
"canonicalValues":[],
"referenceTypes":[]
}

Add the attribute names of the attributes that you added to the scim2-schema-extension.config file as subAttributes of the wso2Extension attribute as seen in the code block below.

{
"attributeURI":"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User",
"attributeName":"EnterpriseUser",
"dataType":"complex",
"multiValued":"false",
"description":"Enterprise User",
"required":"false",
"caseExact":"false",
"mutability":"readWrite",
"returned":"default",
"uniqueness":"none",
"subAttributes":"askPassword employeeNumber costCenter organization division department manager",
"canonicalValues":[],
"referenceTypes":["external"]
}

Define a new claim dialect for the extension schema with the dialect URI you used in defining the extension. For more information on how to do this, see Adding Claim Dialects.
The following code block shows an example of a claim dialect for the custom attributes given above.
```
urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User
```

Once you add a custom attribute, add a claim mapping for the custom attribute.
To do this, open the claim-config.xml file found in the <IS_HOME>/respository/conf folder, and add the claim with the relevant property values. The code block below shows an example of a claim mapping.

<Claim>
    <ClaimURI>urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User:askPassword</ClaimURI>
    <DisplayName>Ask Password</DisplayName>
    <AttributeID>postOfficeBox</AttributeID>
    <Description>Temporary claim to invoke email ask Password feature</Description>
    <Required />
    <DisplayOrder>1</DisplayOrder>
    <SupportedByDefault />
    <MappedLocalClaim>http://wso2.org/claims/identity/askPassword</MappedLocalClaim>
</Claim>

Next, add the claim mapping in the relevant tenant through the management console. To do this, login using tenant credentails and map the claim.
For more information on adding a claim mapping through the management console, see Adding Claim Mapping.

It is recommended to configure through both the management console and the claim-config.xml file because the configuration made in the config file will ensure that this claim is available for all tenants created in future but it needs to be mapped in the management console in order to map the claim for exisiting tenants.

Try it out

Once you have successfully configured the SCIM 2.0 provisioning connector with WSO2 Identity Server, you can test any SCIM 2.0 REST call with WSO2 Identity Server using cURL commands.

Tip: Proper use of ‘attributes’ and ‘excludedAttributes’ parameters with any operation on any endpoint can highly increase the performance.

attributes

Add attributes to the endpoint as seen below to define which particular attributes the API should return.

curl -v -k --user admin:admin https://localhost:9443/scim2/Users?attributes=userName,name.familyName,emails.value

excluded attributes

Add excluded attributes to the endpoint as seen below to define which particular attributes the API should exclude from the response.

curl -v -k --user admin:admin https://localhost:9443/scim2/Users?excludedAttributes=emails,meta

Filter User

Since CRUD operations have to be performed using the SCIM ID that is unique to the service provider, the Users REST endpoint also supports the filter operation.
Run the following to filter a user using an attribute value:

Request

Tip: Proper use of ‘attributes’ and ‘excludedAttributes’ parameters with any operation on any endpoint can highly increase the performance.

attributes

Add attributes to the endpoint as seen below to define which particular attributes the API should return.

curl -v -k --user admin:admin https://localhost:9443/scim2/Groups?attributes=displayName

excluded attributes

Add excluded attributes to the endpoint as seen below to define which particular attributes the API should exclude from the response.

curl -v -k --user admin:admin https://localhost:9443/scim2/Groups?excludedAttributes=members

Filter Group

Since CRUD operations have to be performed using the SCIM ID that is unique to the service provider, the Groups REST endpoint also supports the filter operation.
Run the following to filter a group using an attribute value:

Request

curl -v -k --user admin:admin https://localhost:9443/scim2/Groups?filter=displayName+Eq+engineer

Response

{"totalResults":1,"startIndex":1,"itemsPerPage":1,"schemas":["urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:ListResponse"],"Resources":[{"displayName":"PRIMARY/engineer","meta":{"created":"2017-10-09T14:42:27Z","location":"https://localhost:9443/scim2/Groups/56d163ba-b6b6-426e-88f4-498a7183f6dc","lastModified":"2017-10-09T14:42:27Z"},"members":[{"display":"kim","value":"8ce382ae-2a56-4c3e-bb57-75b29cd4d30b"}],"id":"56d163ba-b6b6-426e-88f4-498a7183f6dc"}]}
