Editing Claim Dialects

There are two ways to edit claim dialects in WSO2 Identity Server.

Using the management console

You can edit existing claim dialects by clicking on any available dialect link. Follow the instructions below to edit a claim dialect.

1. Sign in. Enter your username and password to log on to the Management Console.
2. Click Main to access the Main menu and click List under Claims.
3. Click on any available dialect links.
   
4. From the Claim Dialect view, you can view the claims defined for that particular dialect. If you need to edit a claim, click on the appropriate Edit link.
   

5. Enter the new claim information in the required fields and click on the Update button.
   

   Attribute	Description	Sample value
   Display Name	The name of the claim value which is display to the user.	Eg: Street Address
   Desciption	A small description of the claim to help the user to understand it easily.	Eg. Address of the street
   Claim Uri	The URI which defines the claim	Eg. http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05//identity/claims/streetaddress
   Mapped Attribute	The attribute which mapped to the claim	Eg. streetAddress
   Regular Expression	Regex which helps to verify the input	Eg: A street address can be an integer or a string, therefore regex can be like "^\d{1,45}$ "
   Display Order	Order to display claims	Eg. 1
   Supported by Default	Whether the claim is displayed in the profile of the user	Enabled or disabled
   Required	Whether the claim is mandatory.	Enabled or disabled
   Read-only	Whether the claim cannot be updated later. (Read only)	Enabled or disabled

   Note

   When you are using more than one user store, you must map the attributes correctly using claim management. Under “Mapped Attribute(s)” you need to follow the pattern.

   {domain_name/attribute_Name};{domain_name/attribute_Name}; {domain_name/attribute_Name};

   However, for the default user store, you do not need to provide the domain name. As an example, if you have two user stores, one is the default and another one with domain “LDAP” then the pattern would be as follows for “http://wso2.org/claims/emailaddress".

   email;LDAP/mail

Using the configuration file

Alternatively, instead of editing the dialect using the management console, you can also edit the claim dialect by editing the claim-config.xml configuration file located in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf folder. A sample claim dialect is given below.

<Dialect dialectURI="http://wso2.org/SampleAppClaims">    
    <Claim>
        <ClaimURI>http://wso2.org/SampleAppClaims/givenname</ClaimURI>
        <DisplayName>First Name</DisplayName>
        <MappedLocalClaim>http://wso2.org/claims/givenname</MappedLocalClaim>
    </Claim>
    <Claim>
        <ClaimURI>http://wso2.org/SampleAppClaims/nickName</ClaimURI>
        <DisplayName>Nick Name</DisplayName>
        <MappedLocalClaim>http://wso2.org/claims/nickname</MappedLocalClaim>
    </Claim>
</Dialect>
