Configuring Claim Dialects

A set of claims are identified as a dialect. Different dialects represent the same piece of information with different claim URIs. The following dialects are defined by default with the WSO2 Claim Management Feature.

• http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity - Default dialect for STS
  
• http://wso2.org/claims - Default dialect for WSO2 Carbon
• http://axschema.org - Default dialect for OpenID Attribute Exchange
• http://schema.openid.net/2007/05/claims - Default dialect for OpenID Simple Registration

• http://wso2.org/oidc/claim - Default dialect for OpenID Connect
  

• urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0 - Default dialect for SCIM
  

See the following topics for more information on configuring claim dialects.

      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 default and other one with domain “LDAP” then the pattern would be as follows for “http://wso2.org/claims/emailaddress".
