Managing Claims with APIs

The Claim Management component of WSO2 Carbon allows you to map a set of attributes from the underlying user store to a set of defined claims. This section guides you through invoking and working with the  ClaimMetadataManagementService  and the operations you can work within this service.

Invoking the admin service

The ClaimMetadataManagementService is an admin service of the WSO2 Carbon platform. As admin services are secured to prevent anonymous invocations, you cannot view the WSDL of the admin service by default. Follow the steps given below to view and invoke the admin service:

  1. Set the element <HideAdminServiceWSDLs> to false in <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/carbon.xml file.

    <HideAdminServiceWSDLs>false</HideAdminServiceWSDLs>
  2. Restart WSO2 Identity Server.

  3. If you started the server using the default configurations, copy the following URL to your browser to see the WSDL of the admin service: https://localhost:9443/services/ClaimMetadataManagementService?wsdl .

    The default hostname of WSO2 IS is localhost. If you are using a different hostname, make sure to replace localhost with the new hostname.

For more information on WSO2 admin services and how to invoke an admin service using either SoapUI or any other client program, see Calling Admin Services from Apps section in WSO2 Carbon documentation.
