This topic demonstrates how to use different web services API exposed by Identity Server, to write a client application(remote-user-mgt) to handle user management functionality of WSO2 Identity Server remotely. The remote-user-mgt sample uses AuthenticationAdmin, RemoteUserStoreManagerService and RemoteAuthorizationManagerService admin services to perform different operations.

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. The code for the sample can be checked out from the GitHub repository. To do this, follow the instructions on the Downloading a Sample topic.

  2. Once downloaded the identity server samples, go inside to IS_SAMPLES/modules/samples/user-mgt/remote-user-mgt directory to build the remote user management cliant.

  3. Make sure the URL of the remote server (remote.server.url), credentials of the user who performs user management operations (user.name, user.password) and truststore (truststore.path, truststore.password) configured in IS_SAMPLES/modules/samples/user-mgt/remote-user-mgt/client.propeties are correct with respect to your environment. If you have changed the private key in the identity server, import the public certificate of the identity server to truststore (client-truststore.jks) of the sample client in IS_SAMPLES/modules/samples/user-mgt/remote-user-mgt/src/main/resources/keystore.

  4. Build the client using mvn install.

  5. Once the client is built successfully, run the remote-user-mgt-client.sh file in Unix or remote-user-mgt-client.bat in Windows. You can see that the issues performed is being printed by the client.


Note: The service stubs are available at WSO2 Maven Repository and can be added as dependencies to the project. Also, you can generate the service stubs from the WSDL file available at https://localhost:9443/services/<ServiceName>?wsdl

In order to access the WSDL file, update the following configuration in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/carbon.xml file.
