Version: 5.0.0

SCIM

The SCIM server acts as a central repository where different representations coexist, including Users or Groups.

It can be used by the Identity Provider as a provisioning source. When a user is created or updated in SCIM, their local account in the Identity Provider will be automatically created or updated.

Only version 2.0 of SCIM is supported.

Storage

The following storage options are supported. Each NuGet package contains migration scripts to create or update the database structure.

Name	Nuget package	JSON Path	Value
SQLServer	SimpleIdServer.Scim.SqlServerMigrations	$.StorageConfiguration.ConnectionString
SQLServer	SimpleIdServer.Scim.SqlServerMigrations	$.StorageConfiguration.Type	SQLSERVER
Postgresql	SimpleIdServer.Scim.PostgreMigrations	$.StorageConfiguration.ConnectionString
Postgresql	SimpleIdServer.Scim.PostgreMigrations	$.StorageConfiguration.Type	POSTGRE
Mongodb		$.StorageConfiguration.ConnectionString
Mongodb		$.StorageConfiguration.Type	MONGODB
MYSQL	SimpleIdServer.Scim.MySQLMigrations	$.StorageConfiguration.ConnectionString

Azure LDAP Provisioning

To establish user provisioning from Azure Active Directory (AD) to the SCIM Endpoint, you can follow this tutorial https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/app-provisioning/use-scim-to-provision-users-and-groups#integrate-your-scim-endpoint-with-the-azure-ad-provisioning-service.

When the provisioning mode is selected, the Tenant URL and Secret Token must be specified.

Create Organization Unit

Assign the value of the SCIM endpoint http://localhost:5003 to the Tenant URL. Set the Secret Token to one of the following values :

Owner	Value
IdServer	ba521b3b-02f7-4a37-b03c-58f713bf88e7
AzureAd	1595a72a-2804-495d-8a8a-2c861e7a736a

warning

When the user is provisioned from Azure AD to the SCIM server, the following exception can occur because, according to the RFC SCIM CORE SCHEMA, the schema for user representation does not include a primary property in the addresses section.

SimpleIdServer.Scim.Exceptions.SCIMSchemaViolatedException: attribute primary is not recognized by the SCIM schema

If this property is required, edit the UserSchema.json file and add the following property under the addresses section :

        {
          "name": "primary",
          "type": "boolean",
          "multiValued": false,
          "required": false,
          "mutability": "readWrite",
          "returned": "default",
          "uniqueness": "none",
          "description": "A Boolean value indicating the 'primary' or preferred attribute value for this attribute, e.g., the preferred mailing address or primary email address.  The primary attribute value 'true' MUST appear no more than once."
        }

Security

By default, the API is protected by an API Key. Any client wishing to execute an operation must include one of the following keys in the Authorization header.

Owner	Value
IdServer	ba521b3b-02f7-4a37-b03c-58f713bf88e7
AzureAd	1595a72a-2804-495d-8a8a-2c861e7a736a

The keys have access to the following scopes

Scope	Description
query_scim_resource	Retrieve resource attributes
add_scim_resource	Add resource
delete_scim_resource	Delete resource
update_scim_resource	Update resource
bulk_scim_resource	Allows to execute bulk operations

co	contains	The entire operator value must be a substring of the attribute value for a match.
sw	starts with	The entire operator value must be a substring of the attribute value, starting at the beginning of the attribute value. The criterion is satisfied if the two strings are identical.
ew	ends with	The entire operator value must be a substring of the attribute value, matching at the end of the attribute value. The criterion is satisfied if the two strings are identical.
pr	present (has value )	If the attribute has a non-empty or non-null value, or if it contains a non-empty node for complex attributes, there is a match.
gt	greater than	If the attribute value is greater than the operator value, there is a match.
lt	less than	If the attribute value is less than the operator value, there is a match.
