Adding SCIM2 Custom User Schema Support¶

MWARE IAM allows adding custom attributes into user objects through Enterprise User Extension. From 6.0.0 onwards, you can use this custom schema to add custom attributes of the user.

Add custom schema dialect¶

1. Log in to the Management Console with your admin account.

2. Add the custom schema dialect if it is not found

   • Click Add under Main > Identity > Claims.
   • Click Add Claim Dialect.
   • Add the urn:scim:custom:schema claim dialect.

   

   • Click Add.

How to add claims to support simple attributes¶

Add custom local claim¶

1. Click Add under Main > Identity > Claims.

2. Click Add Local Claim and enter the following values.

   • Claim URI: http://wso2.org/claims/customclaim
   • Display Name: Custom Claim
   • Description: Custom Claim
   • Mapped Attribute(s):
     • User Store Domain Name: PRIMARY
     • Mapped Attribute: customClaim
   • Supported By Default: True

   

   If you want to add any additional properties for the scim attribute, you can add them using Additional Properties in the claim configuration.

   The following additional properties can be added to the custom schema via Additional Properties element.

   • dataType
   • multiValued
   • required
   • caseExact
   • mutability
   • returned
   • uniqueness
   • subAttributes
   • referenceTypes

   E.g., dataType: boolean

Map the custom claim¶

1. Click Add under Main > Identity > Claims.

2. Click Add External Claim and enter the following values.

   • Dialect URI: urn:scim:custom:schema
   • External Claim URI: urn:scim:custom:schema:customClaim
   • Mapped Local Claim:http://wso2.org/claims/customclaim

   

3. Click Add.

Try it out¶

1. Click Add under Main > Identity > Users and Roles.

2. Click Add New User and give the user a username and password.

3. Click List under Users and Roles and then go to the User Profile of the user you just created.

4. Add a value for the Custom Claim field and click Save.

5. Retrieve the user using SCIM and ensure that the custom claim value is present.
