Validated through IdP's:

• Symantec/Broadcom/CA Identity Manager
• Microsoft Entra ID
• OneLogin
• Okta
• Omada
• SailPoint/IdentityNow

Latest news:

• Supports stream publishing mode having SCIM Stream as a prerequisite. In this mode, standard incoming SCIM requests from your Identity Provider (IdP) or API are directed and published to the stream. Subsequently, one of the gateways subscribing to the channel utilized by the publisher will manage the SCIM request, and response back. Using SCIM Stream we have egress/outbound only traffic and get loadbalancing/failover by adding more gateways subscribing to the same channel.
• BREAKING: SCIM Stream is the modern way of user provisioning letting clients subscribe to messages instead of traditional IGA top-down provisioning. SCIM Gateway now offers enhanced functionality with support for message subscription and automated provisioning using SCIM Stream
• Authentication PassThrough letting plugin pass authentication directly to endpoint for avoid maintaining secrets at the gateway. Kubernetes health checks and shutdown handler support
• Supports OAuth Client Credentials authentication
• Major version v4.0.0. getUsers() and getGroups() replacing some deprecated methods. No limitations on filtering/sorting. Admin user access can be linked to specific baseEntities. New MongoDB plugin
• ipAllowList for restricting access to allowlisted IP addresses or subnets e.g. Azure IP-range
• General LDAP plugin configured for Active Directory
• PlugSSO using SCIM Gateway
• Each authentication configuration allowing more than one admin user including option for readOnly
• Codebase moved from callback of h... to the the promise(d) land of async/await
• Supports configuration by environments and external files
• Health monitoring through "/ping" URL, and option for error notifications by email
• Entra ID user provisioning including license management e.g. Office 365, installed and configured within minutes!
• Includes API Gateway for none SCIM/provisioning - becomes what you want it to become
• Running SCIM Gateway as a Docker container

With SCIM Gateway, user management is facilitated through the utilization of the REST-based SCIM 1.1 or 2.0 protocol. The gateway acts as a translator for incoming SCIM requests, seamlessly enabling the exposure of CRUD functionality (create, read, update, and delete user/group) towards destinations. This is achieved through the implementation of endpoint-specific protocols, ensuring precise and efficient provisioning with diverse endpoints.

Using SCIM Stream, gateway may enable Pub/Sub allowing incoming SCIM requests to be published and processed by other gateways acting as subscribers. This extends beyond being Entra ID and HR subscriber for messages published by the SCIM Stream collector.

SCIM Gateway is based on the popular asynchronous event driven framework Node.js using JavaScript. It is cloud and firewall friendly using REST webservices. Runs on almost all operating systems, and may load balance between hosts (horizontal) and cpu's (vertical).

Following example plugins are included:

• Loki (NoSQL Document-Oriented Database)
  SCIM Gateway becomes a standalone SCIM endpoint
  Demonstrates user provisioning towards document-oriented database
  Using LokiJS for a fast, in-memory document-oriented database (much like MongoDB/PouchDB)
  Default gives two predefined test users loaded using in-memory only (no persistence)
  Configuration {"persistence": true} gives persistence file store (no test users)
  Example of a fully functional SCIM Gateway plugin

• MongoDB (NoSQL Document-Oriented Database)
  Same as plugin "Loki", but using external MongoDB
  Shows how to implement a highly configurable multi tenant or multi endpoint solution through baseEntity in URL

• SCIM (REST Webservice)
  Demonstrates user provisioning towards REST-Based endpoint (type SCIM)
  Using plugin Loki as SCIM endpoint
  Can be used as SCIM version-gateway e.g. 1.1=>2.0 or 2.0=>1.1
  Can be used to chain several gateways

• Soap (SOAP Webservice)
  Demonstrates user provisioning towards SOAP-Based endpoint
  Excample WSDLs are included
  Using endpoint "Forwardinc" as an example (comes with Symantec/Broadcom/CA IM SDK - SDKWS)
  Shows how to implement a highly configurable multi tenant or multi endpoint solution through baseEntity in URL

• MSSQL (MSSQL Database)
  Demonstrates user provisioning towards MSSQL database

• SAP HANA (SAP HANA Database)
  Demonstrates SAP HANA specific user provisioning

• Entra ID (REST Webservices)
  Entra ID user provisioning including license management (App Service plans) e.g. Office 365
  Using Microsoft Graph API
  Using customized SCIM attributes according to Microsoft Graph API
  Includes Symantec/Broadcom/CA ConnectorXpress metafile for creating provisioning "Azure - ScimGateway" endpoint type

• LDAP (Directory)
  Fully functional LDAP plugin
  Pre-configured for Microsoft Active Directory
  Using endpointMapper (like plugin-entra-id) for attribute flexibility

• API (REST Webservices)
  Demonstrates API Gateway/plugin functionality using post/put/patch/get/delete
  None SCIM plugin, becomes what you want it to become.
  Methods included can also be used in standard SCIM plugins
  Endpoint complexity could be put in this plugin, and client could instead communicate through Gateway using your own simplified REST specification.
  One example of usage could be creation of tickets in ServiceDesk and also the other way, closing a ticket could automatically approve/reject corresponding workflow in IdP.

Node.js is a prerequisite and have to be installed on the server.

Download the windows installer (.msi 64-bit) and install using default options.

Open a command window (run as administrator)
Create your own package directory e.g. c:\my-scimgateway and install SCIM Gateway within this package.

mkdir c:\my-scimgateway
cd c:\my-scimgateway
npm init -y
npm install scimgateway

c:\my-scimgateway will now be <package-root>

index.js, lib and config directories containing example plugins have been copied to your package from the original scimgateway package located under node_modules.

If internet connection is blocked, we could install on another machine and copy the <package-root> folder.

node c:\my-scimgateway

Start a browser (note, Edge do not pop-up logon dialog box when using http)

http://localhost:8880/ping
=> Health check with a "hello" response

http://localhost:8880/Users  
http://localhost:8880/Groups 
=> Logon using gwadmin/password and two users and groups should be listed  

http://localhost:8880/Users/bjensen
http://localhost:8880/Groups/Admins
or
http://localhost:8880/Users?filter=userName eq "bjensen"
http://localhost:8880/Groups?filter=displayName eq "Admins"
=> Lists all attributes for specified user/group

http://localhost:8880/Groups?filter=displayName eq "Admins"&excludedAttributes=members
http://localhost:8880/Groups?filter=members.value eq "bjensen"&attributes=id,displayName,members.value
http://localhost:8880/Users?filter=userName eq "bjensen"&attributes=userName,id,name.givenName
http://localhost:8880/Users?filter=meta.created ge "2010-01-01T00:00:00Z"&attributes=userName,name.familyName,meta.created
http://localhost:8880/Users?filter=emails.value co "@example.com"&attributes=userName,name.familyName,emails&sortBy=name.familyName&sortOrder=descending
=> Filtering and attribute examples

"Ctrl + c" to stop the SCIM Gateway

For more functionality using browser (post/patch/delete) a REST extension/add-on is needed.

Tip, take a look at mocha test scripts located in node_modules\scimgateway\test\lib

Not needed after a fresh install

Check if newer versions are available:

cd c:\my-scimgateway
npm outdated

Lists current, wanted and latest version. No output on screen means we are running the latest version.

The best and easiest way to upgrade is renaming existing scimgateway package folder, create a new one and do a fresh installation. After the installation you copy index.js, config and lib folder (your customized plugins) from your previous installation to the new installation. You should also read the version history to see if your custom plugins needs to be updated.

Alternatives are:

Upgrade to latest minor version:

cd c:\my-scimgateway
npm install scimgateway

Note, always backup/copy c:\my-scimgateway before upgrading. Custom plugins and corresponding configuration files will not be affected.

To force a major upgrade (version x.*.* => y.*.*) that will brake compability with any existing custom plugins, we have to include the @latest suffix in the install command: npm install scimgateway@latest

When maintaining a set of modifications it useful to disable the postinstall operations to keep your changes intact by setting the property scimgateway_postinstall_skip = true in .npmrc or by setting environment SCIMGATEWAY_POSTINSTALL_SKIP = true

index.js defines one or more plugins to be started. We could comment out those we do not need. Default configuration only starts the loki plugin.

const loki = require('./lib/plugin-loki')
// const mongodb = require('./lib/plugin-mongodb')
// const scim = require('./lib/plugin-scim')
// const soap = require('./lib/plugin-soap') // prereq: npm install soap
// const mssql = require('./lib/plugin-mssql')
// const saphana = require('./lib/plugin-saphana') // prereq: npm install hdb
// const entra = require('./lib/plugin-entra-id')
// const ldap = require('./lib/plugin-ldap')
// const api = require('./lib/plugin-api')

Each endpoint plugin needs a JavaScript file (.js) and a configuration file (.json). They both must have the same naming prefix. For SAP Hana endpoint we have:

lib\plugin-saphana.js
config\plugin-saphana.json

Edit specific plugin configuration file according to your needs.
Below shows an example of config\plugin-saphana.json

Configuration file have two main JSON objects: scimgateway and endpoint

Definitions in scimgateway object have fixed attributes, but values can be modified. Sections not used/configured can be removed. This object is used by the core functionality of the SCIM Gateway.

Definitions in endpoint object are customized according to our plugin code. Plugin typically need this information for communicating with endpoint

• port - Gateway will listen on this port number. Clients (e.g. Provisioning Server) will be using this port number for communicating with the gateway.

• localhostonly - true or false. False means gateway accepts incoming requests from all clients. True means traffic from only localhost (127.0.0.1) is accepted.

• payloadSize - if not defined, default "1mb" will be used. There are cases which large groups could exceed default size and you may want to increase by setting your own size

• scim.version - "1.1" or "2.0". Default is "2.0".

• scim.skipTypeConvert - true or false, default false. Multivalue attributes supporting types e.g. emails, phoneNumbers, ims, photos, addresses, entitlements and x509Certificates (but not roles, groups and members) will be become "type converted objects" when sent to modifyUser and createUser. This for simplicity of checking attributes included and also for the endpointMapper method (used by plugin-ldap and plugin-entra-id), e.g.:

    "emails": {
      "work": {"value": "[email protected]", "type": "work"},
      "home": {"value": "", "type": "home", "operation": "delete"},
      "undefined": {"value": "[email protected]"}
    }  
  
    skipTypeConvert set to true gives attribute "as-is": array, allow duplicate types including blank, but values to be deleted have been marked with "operation": "delete"
  
    "emails": [
      {"value": "[email protected]", "type": "work"},
      {"value": "john.smith.org", "type": "home", "operation": "delete"},
      {"value": "[email protected]"}
    ]  
  

• scim.skipMetaLocation - true or false, default false. If set to true, meta.location which contains protocol and hostname from request-url, will be excluded from response e.g. "{...,meta":{"location":"https://my-company.com/<...>"}}. If using reverse proxy and not including headers X-Forwarded-Proto and X-Forwarded-Host, originator will be the proxy and we might not want to expose internal protocol and hostname being used by the proxy request.

• scim.usePutSoftSync - true or false, default false. PUT /Users/bjensen will replace the user bjensen with body content. If set to true, only PUT body content will be replaced. Any additional existing user attributes and groups supported by plugin will remain as-is.

• scim."usePutGroupMemberOfUser - true or false, default false. PUT /Users/<user> will replace the user with body content. If body contains groups and usePutGroupMemberOfUser=true, groups will be set on user object (groups are member of user) instead of default user member of groups

• log.loglevel.file - off, error, info, or debug. Output to plugin-logfile e.g. logs\plugin-saphana.log

• log.loglevel.console - off, error, info, or debug. Output to stdout and errors to stderr.

• log.customMasking - array of attributes to be masked e.g. "customMasking": ["SSN", "weight"]. By default SCIM Gateway includes masking of some standard attributes like password.

• auth - Contains one or more authentication/authorization methods used by clients for accessing gateway - may also include:

  • auth.xx.readOnly - true/false, true gives read only access - only allowing GET requests for corresponding admin user
  • auth.xx.baseEntities - array containing one or more baseEntity allowed for this user e.g. ["client-a"] - empty array allowing all.
    Methods are disabled by setting corresponding admin user to null or remove methods not used

• auth.basic - Array of one ore more basic authentication objects - Basic Authentication with username/password. Note, we set a clear text password that will become encrypted when gateway is started.

• auth.bearerToken - Array of one or more bearer token objects - Shared token/secret (supported by Entra ID). Clear text value will become encrypted when gateway is started.

• auth.bearerJwtAzure - Array of one or more JWT used by Azure SyncFabric. tenantIdGUID must be set to Entra ID Tenant ID.

• auth.bearerJwt - Array of one or more standard JWT objects. Using secret or publicKey for signature verification. publicKey should be set to the filename of public key or certificate pem-file located in <package-root>\config\certs or absolute path being used. Clear text secret will become encrypted when gateway is started. options.issuer is mandatory. Other options may also be included according to jsonwebtoken npm package definition.

• auth.bearerOAuth - Array of one or more Client Credentials OAuth configuration objects. client_id and client_secret are mandatory. client_secret value will become encrypted when gateway is started. OAuth token request url is /oauth/token e.g. http://localhost:8880/oauth/token

• auth.passThrough - Setting auth.passThrough.enabled=true will bypass SCIM Gateway authentication. Gateway will instead pass ctx containing authentication header to the plugin. Plugin could then use this information for endpoint authentication and we don't have any password/token stored at the gateway. Note, this also requires plugin binary having scimgateway.authPassThroughAllowed = true and endpoint logic for handling/passing ctx.request.header.authorization

• certificate - If not using TLS certificate, set "key", "cert" and "ca" to null. When using TLS, "key" and "cert" have to be defined with the filename corresponding to the primary-key and public-certificate. Both files must be located in the <package-root>\config\certs directory unless absolute path being defined e.g:

    "certificate": {
      "key": "key.pem",
      "cert": "cert.pem",
      "ca": null
    }  
  

  Example of how to make a self signed certificate:

    openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -x509 -sha256 -days 3650 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -subj "/O=Testing/OU=SCIM Gateway/CN=<FQDN>" -config "<path>\openssl.cnf"
  

  <FQDN> is Fully Qualified Domain Name of the host having SCIM Gateway installed

  Note, when using Symantec/Broadcom/CA Provisioning, the "certificate authority - CA" also have to be imported on the Connector Server. For self-signed certificate CA and the certificate (public key) is the same.

  PFX / PKCS#12 bundle can be used instead of key/cert/ca e.g:

    "pfx": {
      "bundle": "certbundle.pfx",
      "password": "password"
    }
  

  Note, we should normally use certificate (https) for communicating with SCIM Gateway unless we install ScimGatway locally on the manager (e.g. on the CA Connector Server). When installed on the manager, we could use http://localhost:port or http://127.0.0.1:port which will not be passed down to the data link layer for transmission. We could then also set {"localhostonly": true}

• ipAllowList - Array of one or more IPv4/IPv6 subnets (CIDR) allowed for incoming traffic. E.g. using Entra ID as IdP, we would like to restrict access to IP addresses used by Azure. Azure IP-range can be downloaded from: https://azureipranges.azurewebsites.net, enter AzureActiveDirectory in the search list and select JSON download. Copy the "addressPrefixes" array content and paste into ipAllowList array. CIDR single IP-host syntax is a.b.c.d/32. Note, front-end HTTP proxy or a load balancer must include client IP-address in the X-Forwarded-For header. Configuration example:

    "ipAllowList": [
      "13.64.151.161/32",
      "13.66.141.64/27",
      ...
      "2603:1056:2000::/48",
      "2603:1057:2::/48"
    ]
  

• emailOnError - Contains configuration for sending error notifications by email. Note, only the first error will be sent until sendInterval have passed

• emailOnError.smtp.enabled - true or false, value set to true will enable email notifications

• emailOnError.smtp.host - Mailserver e.g. "smtp.office365.com"

• emailOnError.smtp.port - Port used by mailserver e.g. 587, 25 or 465

• emailOnError.smtp.proxy - If using mailproxy e.g. "http://proxy-host:1234"

• emailOnError.smtp.authenticate - true or false, set to true will use username/password authentication

• emailOnError.smtp.username - Mail account for authentication and also the sender of the email, e.g. "[email protected]"

• emailOnError.smtp.password - Mail account password

• emailOnError.smtp.sendInterval - Mail notifications on error are deferred until sendInterval minutes have passed since the last notification. Default 15 minutes

• emailOnError.smtp.to - Comma separated list of recipients email addresses e.g: "[email protected]"

• emailOnError.smtp.cc - Comma separated list of cc email addresses

• kubernetes - Enable Kubernetes support for healthchecks and graceful shutdown.

• kubernetes.enabled - true or false, true will enable Kubernets health checks and shutdown handler

• kubernetes.shutdownTimeout - Number of milliseconds to wait before shutting down (default 15000).

• kubernetes.forceExitTimeout - Number of milliseconds before forceful exiting (default 1000).

• stream - See SCIM Stream for configuration details

• endpoint - Contains endpoint specific configuration according to our plugin code.

• Custom Schemas, ServiceProviderConfig and ResourceType can be used if ./lib/scimdef-v2.js or scimdef-v1.js exists. Original scimdef-v2.js/scimdef-v1.js can be copied from node_modules/scimgateway/lib to your plugin/lib and customized.

• Using reverse proxy and we want ipAllowList and correct meta.location response, following headers must be set by proxy: X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Proto and X-Forwarded-Host

• Setting environment variable SEED with some random characters will override default password seeding logic. This also allow copying configuration file with encrypted secrets from one machine to another.

• All configuration can be set based on environment variables. Syntax will then be "process.env.<ENVIRONMENT>" where <ENVIRONMENT> is the environment variable used. E.g. scimgateway.port could have value "process.env.PORT", then using environment variable PORT.

• All configuration values can be moved to a single external file having JSON dot notation content with plugin name as parent JSON object. Syntax in original configuration file used by the gateway will then be "process.file.<path>" where <path> is the file used. E.g. key endpoint.password could have value "process.file./var/run/vault/secrets.json"

• All configuration values can be moved to multiple external files, each file containing one single value. Syntax in original configuration file used by the gateway will then be "process.text.<path>" where <path> is the file which contains raw (UTF-8) character value. E.g. key endpoint.password could have value "process.text./var/run/vault/endpoint.password".

  Example:

    {
      "scimgateway": {
        ...
        "port": "process.env.PORT",
        ...
        "loglevel": {
          "file": "process.env.LOG_LEVEL_FILE",
          ...
        "auth": {
          "basic": [
            {
              "username": "process.file./var/run/vault/secrets.json",
              "password": "process.file./var/run/vault/secrets.json"
            },
            ...
          ],
          "bearerJwt": [
             "secret": "process.text./var/run/vault/jwt.secret",
             "publicKey": "process.text./var/run/vault/jwt.pub",
    		 ...
    	  ],
          ...
        },
      "endpoint": {
        ...
        "username": "process.file./var/run/vault/secrets.json",
        "password": "process.file./var/run/vault/secrets.json",
        ...
      }
    }  
  

  jwt.secret file content example:

    thisIsSecret
  

  secrets.json file content example for plugin-soap:

    {
      "plugin-soap.scimgateway.auth.basic[0].username": "gwadmin",
      "plugin-soap.scimgateway.auth.basic[0].password": "password",
      "plugin-soap.endpoint.username": "superuser",
      "plugin-soap.endpoint.password": "secret"
    }  
  

Gateway can now be started from a command window running in administrative mode

3 ways to start:

node c:\my-scimgateway

node c:\my-scimgateway\index.js

<package-root>node .

Ctrl+c to stop

Start Windows Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc), right click on "Task Scheduler Library" and choose "Create Task"

General tab:  
-----------
Name = SCIM Gateway
User account = SYSTEM
Run with highest privileges

Triggers tab:
-------------
Begin the task = At startup

Actions tab:
------------
Action = Start a program
Program/script = c:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe
Arguments = c:\my-scimgateway

Settings - tab:
---------------
Stop the task if runs longer than = Disabled (greyed out)

Verification:

• Right click task - Run, verify process node.exe (SCIM Gateway) can be found in the task manager (not the same as task scheduler). Also verify logfiles <pakage-root>\logs
• Right click task - End, verify process node.exe have been terminated and disappeared from task manager
• Reboot server and verify SCIM Gateway have been automatically started

On Linux systems we may also run SCIM Gateway as a Docker image (using docker-compose)

• Docker Pre-requisites:
  docker-ce
  docker-compose

• Install SCIM Gateway within your own package and copy provided docker files:

    mkdir /opt/my-scimgateway  
    cd /opt/my-scimgateway  
    npm init -y  
    npm install scimgateway  
    cp ./config/docker/* .  
  

  docker-compose.yml <== Here is where you would set the exposed port and environment
  Dockerfile <== Main dockerfile
  DataDockerfile <== Handles volume mapping
  docker-compose-debug.yml <== Debugging

• Create a scimgateway user on your Linux VM.

    adduser scimgateway
  

• Create a directory on your VM host for the scimgateway configs:

    mkdir /home/scimgateway/config
  

• Copy your updated configuration file e.g. /opt/my-scimgateway/config/plugin-loki.json to /home/scimgateway/config. Use scp to perform the copy.

  NOTE: /home/scimgateway/config is where all important configuration and loki datastore will reside outside of the running docker container. If you upgrade scimgateway you won't lose your configurations and data.

• Build docker images and start it up

    docker-compose up --build -d
  

  NOTE: Add the -d flag to run the command above detached.

  Be sure to confirm that port 8880 is available with a simple http request

  If using default plugin-loki and we have configured {"persistence": true}, we could confirm scimgateway created loki.db:

    su scimgateway  
    cd /home/scimgateway/config  
    ls loki.db  
  

To list running containers information:
docker ps

To list available images:
docker images

To view the logs:
docker logs scimgateway

To execute command within your running container:
docker exec scimgateway <bash command>

To stop scimgateway:
docker-compose stop

To restart scimgateway:
docker-compose start

To debug running container (using Visual Studio Code):
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-debug.yml up -d
Start Visual Studio Code and follow these debugging instructions

To upgrade scimgateway docker image (remove the old stuff before running docker-compose up --build):

docker rm scimgateway  
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q); docker rmi $(docker images -q -f "dangling=true")  

Entra ID could do automatic user provisioning by synchronizing users towards SCIM Gateway, and gateway plugins will update endpoints.

Plugin configuration file must include SCIM Version "2.0" (scimgateway.scim.version) and either Bearer Token (scimgateway.auth.bearerToken[x].token) or Entra ID Tenant ID GUID (scimgateway.auth.bearerJwtAzure[x].tenantIdGUID) or both:

scimgateway: {
  "scim": {
    "version": "2.0",
    ...
  },
  ...
  "auth": {
    "bearerToken": [
      {
        "token": "shared-secret"
      }
    ],
    "bearerJwtAzure": [
      {
        "tenantIdGUID": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    ]
  }
  ...
}

token configuration must correspond with "Secret Token" defined in Entra ID
tenantIdGUID configuration must correspond with Entra ID Tenant ID

In Azure Portal: Azure-Microsoft Entra ID-Enterprise Application-<My Application>-Provisioning-Secret Token
Note, when "Secret Token" is left blank, Azure will use JWT (tenantIdGUID)

Azure-Microsoft Entra ID-Overview-Tenant ID

User mappings attributes between AD and SCIM also needs to be configured

Azure-Microsoft Entra ID-Enterprise Application-<My Application>-Provisioning-Edit attribute mappings-Mappings

Entra ID default SCIM attribute mapping for USER must have:

userPrincipalName mapped to userName (matching precedence #1)  

Entra ID default SCIM attribute mapping for GROUP must have:

displayName mapped to displayName (matching precedence #1)  
members mapped to members  

Some notes related to Entra ID:

• Entra ID SCIM documentation

• For using OAuth/JWT credentials, Entra ID configuration "Secret Token" (bearer token) should be blank. Plugin configuration must then include bearerJwtAzure.tenantIdGUID. Click "Test Connection" in Azure to verify

• Entra ID do a regular check for a "non" existing user/group. This check seems to be a "keep alive" to verify connection.

• Entra ID first checks if user/group exists, if not exist they will be created (no explore of all users like CA Identity Manager)

• Deleting a user in Entra ID sends a modify user {"active":"False"} which means user should be disabled. This logic is default set in attribute mappings expression rule Switch([IsSoftDeleted], , "False", "True", "True", "False"). Standard SCIM "DELETE" method seems not to be used.

Using Symantec/Broadcom/CA Identity Manger, plugin configuration might have to use SCIM Version "1.1" (scimgateway.scim.version).

In the Provisioning Manager we have to use

Endpoint type = SCIM (DYN Endpoint)

or create our own custom endpoint type based on this one

SCIM endpoint configuration example for Loki plugin (plugin-loki)

Endpoint Name = Loki-8880  
User Name = gwadmin  
Password = password  
SCIM Authentication Method = HTTP Basic Authentication  
SCIM Based URL = http://localhost:8880  

or:  

SCIM Based URL = http://localhost:8880/<baseEntity>

Username, password and port must correspond with plugin configuration file. For "Loki" plugin it will be config\plugin-loki.json

"SCIM Based URL" refer to the FQDN (or localhost) having SCIM Gateway installed. Portnumber must be included. Use HTTPS instead of HTTP if SCIM Gateway configuration includes certificates.

"baseEntity" is optional. This is a parameter used for multi tenant or multi endpoint solutions. We could create several endpoints having same base url with unique baseEntity. e.g:

http://localhost:8880/client-a
http://localhost:8880/client-b

Each baseEntity should then be defined in the plugin configuration file with custom attributes needed. Please see examples in plugin-soap.json

IM 12.6 SP7 (and above) also supports pagination for SCIM endpoint (data transferred in bulks - endpoint explore of users). Loki plugin supports pagination. Other plugin may ignore this setting.

Using plugin-entra-id we could do user provisioning towards Entra ID including license management e.g. O365

For testing purposes we could get an Azure free account and in addition the free Office 365 for testing license management through Azure.

    • Optionally remove any defaults included e.g. User.Read
    • Click "Add a permission"
    • Microsoft Graph
    • Application permissions
    • Directory - Directory.ReadWriteAll
    • Organization - Organization.ReadWrite.All
    • Click "Add permissions"
      Note, we also have to go to Enterprise application to grant these consents
• Microsoft Entra ID - Enterprise applications - SCIM Gateway Inbound
  • Permissions:
    • Click "Grant admin consent for [tenant name]"
    • In the logon dialog, logon as global administrator
    • In permissions request dialog, click "Accept"
    • Click "Refresh", directory and organization permissions are now listed and OK

For some odd reasons Application needs to be member of "User administrator" for having privileges to manage office/mobile phone on users that is member of any administrator roles

Also note, enable/disable user (accountEnabled - through Graph API) will fail if user have an "Administrator" role other than above mentioned "User Administrator" e.g. "Group Administrator"/"Application Administrator". To be sure we can enable/disable all users, application needs to be member of "Global administrator" - 62e90394-69f5-4237-9190-012177145e10.

• Microsoft Entra ID - Roles and administration
  • Click on role "User administrator"
  • Click "Add assignments"
  • Search: SCIM Gateway Inbound (application name)
  • Select the application that shows up and click "Add"

Edit index.js
Uncomment startup of plugin-entra-id, other plugins could be comment out if not needed

const entra = require('./lib/plugin-entra-id')

Edit plugin-entra-id.json

Note, for Symantec/Broadcom/CA Provisioning we have to use SCIM version 1.1

scimgateway: {
  "scim": {
    "version": "1.1"
  },

username and password used to connect the SCIM Gateway must be defined.

    "auth": {
      "basic": [
        {
          "username": "gwadmin",
          "password": "password",
          "readOnly": false,
          "baseEntities": []
        }
      ],

Update tenantIdGUID, clientID and clientSecret according to what you copied from the previous Entra ID configuration.

If using proxy, set proxy.host to "http://<FQDN-ProxyHost>:<port>" e.g "http://proxy.mycompany.com:3128"

"endpoint": {
  "entity": {
    "undefined": {
      "tenantIdGUID": "DomainName or DirectoryID (GUID)",
      "clientId": "Application ID",
      "clientSecret": "Generated application key value",
      "proxy": {
        "host": null,
        "username": null,
        "password": null
      }
    }
  }
}

Note, clientSecret and any proxy.password will become encrypted in this file on the first Azure connection.

For multi-tenant or multi-endpoint support, we may add several entities:

"endpoint": {
  "entity": {
    "undefined": {
		...
    },
    "client-a": {
		...
    },
    "client-b": {
		...
    }
  }
}

For additional details, see baseEntity description.

Note, we should normally use certificate (https) for communicating with SCIM Gateway unless we install gateway locally on the manager (e.g. on the CA Connector Server). When installed on the manager, we could use http://localhost:port or http://127.0.0.1:port which will not be passed down to the data link layer for transmission. We could then also set {"localhostonly": true}

Create a new endpoint type "Azure - ScimGateway"

• Start SCIM Gateway
  • "const entra" must be uncomment in index.js
  • username, password and port defined in plugin-entra-id.json must also be known
• Start ConnectorXpress
• Setup Data Sources
  • Add
  • Layer7 (this is SCIM)
  • Name = SCIM Gateway-8881
  • Base URL = http://localhost:8881 (SCIM Gateway installed locally on Connector Server)
• Add the new "Azure - ScimGateway" endpoint type
  • Metadata - Import - "my-scimgateway\node_modules\scimgateway\config\resources\Azure - ScimGateway.xml"
  • Select the datasource we created - SCIM Gateway-8881
  • Enter password for the user defined in datasource (e.g. gwadmin/password)
  • On the right - expand Provisioning Servers - your server - and logon
  • Right Click "Endpoint Types", Create New Endpoint Type
    • You may use default name "Azure - ScimGateway" and click "OK" to create endpoint

Note, metafile "Azure - ScimGateway.xml" is based on CA "Azure - WSL7" with some minor adjustments like using Microsoft Graph API attributes instead of Azure AD Graph attributes.

Provisioning Manager configuration

Endpoint type = Azure - ScimGateway (DYN Endpoint)

Endpoint configuration example:

Endpoint Name = AzureAD-8881  
User Name = gwadmin  
Password = password  
SCIM Authentication Method = HTTP Basic Authentication  
SCIM Based URL = http://localhost:8881  
or  
SCIM Based URL = http://localhost:8881/<baseEntity>  

For details, please see section "CA Identity Manager as IdP using SCIM Gateway"

Create = POST http://localhost:8880/Users  
(body contains the user information)

Update = PATCH http://localhost:8880/Users/<id>
(body contains the attributes to be updated)

Search/Read = GET http://localhost:8880/Users?userName eq 
"userID"&attributes=<comma separated list of scim-schema defined attributes>

Search/explore all users:
GET http://localhost:8880/Users?attributes=userName

Delete = DELETE http://localhost:8880/Users/<id>

Discovery:

GET http://localhost:8880/ServiceProviderConfigs
Specification compliance, authentication schemes, data models.

GET http://localhost:8880/Schemas
Introspect resources and attribute extensions.

Note:

• userName (mandatory) = UserID
• id (mandatory) = Unique id. Could be set to the same as UserID but don't have to.

SCIM Gateway also works as an API Gateway when using url /api or /<baseEntity>/api

Following methods for the none SCIM based api-plugin are supported:

	GET /api  
	GET /api?queries  
	GET /api/{id}  
	POST /api + body  
	PUT /api/{id} + body  
	PATCH /api/{id} + body  
	DELETE /api/{id}  

These methods can also be used in standard SCIM plugins
Please see example plugin: plugin-api.js

For JavaScript coding editor you may use Visual Studio Code

Preparation:

• Copy "best matching" example plugin e.g. lib\plugin-mssql.js and config\plugin-mssql.json and rename both copies to your plugin name prefix e.g. plugin-mine.js and plugin-mine.json (for SOAP Webservice endpoint we might use plugin-soap as a template)
• Edit plugin-mine.json and define a unique port number for the gateway setting
• Edit index.js and add a new line for starting your plugin e.g. let mine = require('./lib/plugin-mine');
• Start SCIM Gateway and verify. If using CA Provisioning you could setup a SCIM endpoint using the port number you defined

Now we are ready for custom coding by editing plugin-mine.js Coding should be done step by step and each step should be verified and tested before starting the next (they are all highlighted by comments in existing code).

1. Turn off group functionality - getGroups to return empty response
   Please see plugin-saphana that do not use groups.
2. getUsers (test provisioning retrieve accounts)
3. createUser (test provisioning new account)
4. deleteUser (test provisioning delete account)
5. modifyUser (test provisioning modify account)
6. Turn on group functionality - getGroups having logic for returning groups if groups are supported
7. getGroups (test provisioning retrieve groups)
8. modifyGroup (test provisioning modify group members)
9. createGroup (test provisioning new group)
10. deleteGroup (test provisioning delete account)

Template used by CA Provisioning role should only include endpoint supported attributes defined in our plugin. Template should therefore have no links to global user for none supported attributes (e.g. remove %UT% from "Job Title" if our endpoint/code do not support title)

CA Provisioning using default SCIM endpoint do not support SCIM Enterprise User Schema Extension (having attributes like employeeNumber, costCenter, organization, division, department and manager). If we need these or other attributes not found in CA Provisioning, we could define our own by using the free-text "type" definition in the multivalue entitlements or roles attribute. In the template entitlements definition, we could for example define type=Company and set value to %UCOMP%. Please see plugin-soap.js using Company as a multivalue "type" definition.

Using CA Connector Xpress we could create a new SCIM endpoint type based on the original SCIM. We could then add/remove attributes and change from default assign "user to groups" to assign "groups to user". There are also other predefined endpoints based on the original SCIM. You may take a look at "ServiceNow - WSL7" and "Zendesk - WSL7".

For project setup:

• Datasource = Layer7 (CA API) - this is SCIM
• Layer7 Base URL = SCIM Gateway url and port (SCIM Base URL)
• Authentication = Basic Authentication
  (connect using gwadmin/password defined in plugin config-file)

Using Connector Xpress based on the original SCIM endpoint.

Delete defaults:
Group - Associations - with User Account
Group - Attributes - members
User Account - Attributes - Group Membership

Create new attribute:
User Account - Attributes: Groups - Flexi DN - Multivalue - groups

Create User - Group associations:
User Account - Accociations - Direct association with = Group
User Account - Accociations - with Group

Note, "Include a Reverse Association" - not needed if we don't need Group object functionality e.g list/add/remove group members

User Attribute = Physical Attribute = Groups
Match Group = By Attribute = ID

Objects Must Exist
Use DNs in Attribute = activated (toggled on)

Include a Reverse Association (if needed)
Group Attribute = Virtual Attribute = User Membership
Match User Account = By Attribute = User Name

Note, groups should be capability attribute (updated when account is synchronized with template):
advanced options - Synchronized = enabled (toggled on)

Plugins should have following initialization:

// mandatory plugin initialization - start
const path = require('path')
let ScimGateway = null
try {
  ScimGateway = require('scimgateway')
} catch (err) {
  ScimGateway = require('./scimgateway')
}

let pluginName = path.basename(__filename, '.js')
let configDir = path.join(__dirname, '..', 'config')
let configFile = path.join(`${configDir}`, `${pluginName}.json`)
let config = require(configFile).endpoint
let validScimAttr = [] // empty array - all attrbutes are supported by endpoint
// add any external config process.env and process.file
config = scimgateway.processExtConfig(pluginName, config)
scimgateway.authPassThroughAllowed = false
// mandatory plugin initialization - end

[Fixed]

• Delete User missing url-decoding of id e.g. using ldap-dn as id

[Fixed]

• plugin-api configuration file having new credentials for dummy-json testing

[Improved]

• Dependencies bump

• plugin-loki and plugin-mongodb, minor improvements for handling raw mulitivalue updates when not using default skipTypeConvert=false

• endpointMapper supporting comma separated string to be converted to array, e.g.:
  SCIM otherMails = "[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]"

  endpointMapper configuration for endpoint attribute emails of type array:

  "map": { "user": { "emails": { "mapTo": "otherMails", "type": "array", "typeInbound": "string" }, ...

[Improved]

• scim-stream, client reconnect improvements

[Improved]

• scim-stream, scimgateway now supports stream publishing mode having SCIM Stream as a prerequisite. In this mode, standard incoming SCIM requests from your Identity Provider (IdP) or API are directed and published to the stream. Subsequently, one of the gateways subscribing to the channel utilized by the publisher will manage the SCIM request, and response back to the publisher. Using SCIM Stream we have egress/outbound only traffic and get loadbalancing/failover by adding more gateways subscribing to same channel.
• scim-stream, subscriber will do automatic retry until connected when plugin not able to connect to endpoint (offline endpoint)
• plugin-ldap, modifyGroup now supports all attributes and not only add/remove members
• certificate absolute path may be used in plugin configuration file instead of default relative path
• dependencies bump

[Improved]

• Some PUT logic redesign. More granularity on mulitvalues, instead of including all elements, now only those that differ are sent to modifyUser.

[Fixed]

• PATCH group members=[] should remove all members
• scim-stream modify user fix

[Improved]

• plugin-entra-id, plugin-scim and plugin-api having updated REST endpoint helpers-template that includes tokenAuth (now used by plugin-api). Auth PassTrhough also supported for oauth/tokenAuth endpoint
• PUT improvements

[Improved]

• New configuration: scim.skipMetaLocation
  true or false, default false. If set to true, meta.location which contains protocol and hostname from request-url, will be excluded from response e.g. "{...,meta":{"location":"https://my-company.com/<...>"}}. If using reverse proxy and not including headers X-Forwarded-Proto and X-Forwarded-Host, originator will be the proxy and we might not want to expose internal protocol and hostname being used by the proxy request.

Below is an example of nginx reverse proxy configuration supporting SCIM Gateway ipAllowList and correct meta.location response:

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;

[Improved]

• Dependencies bump

[Improved]

• scim-stream subscriber configuration have been changed:
  old: "convertRolesToGroups": false
  new: "skipConvertRolesToGroups": false
  This means convert roles to groups is default behavior unless skipConvertRolesToGroups=true

[Improved]

• scim-stream subscriber using latest api and some additional recovery logic
  Prerequisite: SCIM Stream version > v1.0.0

[Fixed]

• plugin-loki was missing async await and could cause problems in some stress test use cases

[Improved]

• SCIM Gateway now offers enhanced functionality with support for message subscription and automated provisioning using SCIM Stream
• plugin-entra-id, plugin-scim and plugin-api having updated REST endpoint helpers-template to address and resolve endpoint throttling

Note, module soap is not default included anymore. SOAP based plugins e.g., plugin-soap therefore needs npm install soap for including module in your package

[Improved]

• configuration scimgateway.scim.port can now be set to 0 or removed for deactivating listener
• configuration cimgateway.scim.usePutSoftSync set to true now includes additional logic that do not change existing user attributes not included in PUT body content
• createUser/createGroup no longer return id if id have not been returned by plugin or by getUser filtering on userName. Previously userName was returned as id when missing plugin logic.
• plugin-ldap supporting simpel filtering
• plugin-loki using baseEntity configuration for supporting multi loki endpoints
• plugin-azure-ad renamed to plugin-entra-id
• plugin-entra-id and plugin-scim now using an updated default REST helpers-template that gives more flexible endpoint authentication support like OAuth, Basic, Bearer, custom-headers, no-auth,...
• Dependencies bump

[Fixed]

• plugin-loki incorrect unique filtering

[Improved]

• Dependencies bump

[Improved]

• Plugin can set error statusCode returned by scimgateway through error object key err.name. This can be done by adding suffix #code to err.name where code is HTTP status code e.g., err.name += '#401'. This can be useful for auth.PassThrough and other scenarios like createUser where user already exist (409) and modifyUser where user does not exist (404)

  This change replace statusCode logic introduced in v4.2.11

[Fixed]

• PUT now returning 404 instead of 500 when trying to update a user/group that does not exist

[Fixed]

• /ping now excluded from info logs. If we want ping logging, use something else than lowercase e.g., /Ping or /PING

[Improved]

• Schemas, ServiceProviderConfig and ResourceType can be customized if lib/scimdef-v2.js (or scimdef-v1.js) exists. Original scimdef-v2.js/scimdef-v1.js can be copied from node_modules/scimgateway/lib to your plugin/lib and customized.

[Improved]

Note, obsolete - see v4.2.15 comments

• Plugin can set error statusCode returned by scimgateway through error message. Error message must then contain string "statusCode":xxx where xxx is HTTP status code e.g., 401. Plugin using REST will have statusCode automatically included in error message thrown by plugin. This could be useful for auth.PassThrough.

[Fixed]

• plugin-ldap broken after dependencies bump of ldapjs (from 2.x.x to 3.x.x) in version 4.2.7

[Fixed]

• installation require nodejs >= v.16.0.0 due to previous dependencies bump

[Fixed]

• PUT did not allow group name to be modified

[Improved]

• new plugin configuration scim.usePutGroupMemberOfUser can be set to true or false, default false. PUT /Users/<user> will replace user with body content. If body contains groups and usePutGroupMemberOfUser=true, groups will be set on user object (groups are member of user) instead of default user member of groups
• plugin-forwardinc renamed to plugin-soap
• Dependencies bump

[Fixed]

• plugin-azure-ad fixed some issues introduced in v4.2.4
• plugin-mongodb fixed some issues introduced in v4.2.4

[Fixed]

• cosmetics related to 401 error handling introduced in v4.2.4

[Fixed]

• travis test build cosmetics

[Improved]

• provided plugins now supports Auth PassThrough. See helpers methods like getClientIdentifier(), getCtxAuth() and changes in doRequest() and getServiceClient(). In general, PassThrough is supported for both basic and bearer auth. Password/secret/client_secret are then not needed in configuration file. Username may still be needed in configuration file depended on how logic is implemented (ref. mongodb/mssql) and what auth beeing used (basic/bearer). Plugin scim, api and azure-ad are all REST plugins having the same helpers (but, some minor differences to azure-ad using OAuth and the getAccessToken() method)

[Fixed]

• plugin-loki and plugin-mongodb, for multi-value attributes like emails,phoneNumbers,... that includes primary attribute, only one is allowed having primary value set to true in the multi-value set.

[Fixed]

• some minor SCIM protocol complient adjustments for beeing fully SCIM API complient with https://scimvalidator.microsoft.com

[Fixed]

• plugin-azure-ad createUser failed when manager was included
• plugin-ldap slow when not using group/groupBase configuration

[Improved]

• Kubernetes health checks and shutdown handler support

  Plugin configuration prerequisite: kubernetes.enabled=true

    "kubernetes": {
      "enabled": true,
      "shutdownTimeout": 15000,
      "forceExitTimeout": 1000
    }
  

  Thanks to Kevin Osborn

[Improved]

• Authentication PassThrough for passing the authentication directly to plugin without being processed by scimgateway. Plugin can then pass this authentication to endpoint for avoid maintaining secrets at the gateway.

  Plugin configuration prerequisites: auth.passThrough.enabled=true

    "auth": {
       ...
       "passThrough": {
         "enabled": true,
         "readOnly": false,
         "baseEntities": []
       }
       ...
     }
  

  Plugin binary prerequisites:

    scimgateway.authPassThroughAllowed = true
    // also need endpoint logic for handling/passing ctx.request.header.authorization
  

  For upgrading existing custom plugins, above mention prerequisites needs to be included and in addition all plugin methods must include the ctx parameter e.g.:

    scimgateway.getUsers = async (baseEntity, getObj, attributes, ctx)
    // tip, see provided example plugins
  

  Thanks to Kevin Osborn

[Fixed]

• Do not create logs directory or log-file when configuration log.loglevel.file not defined or set to "off". This fix will allow SCIM Gateway to run on systems having read-only disk like Google Cloud App Engine Standard

[Improved]

• Dependencies bump

[Fixed]

• basic auth logon dialog should not show up when not configured

[Improved]

• new plugin configuration payloadSize. If not defined, default "1mb" will be used. There are cases which large groups could exceed default size and you may want to increase by setting your own size e.g. "5mb"
  Thanks to Sam Murphy

[Fixed]

• using GET /Users, scimgateway automatically adds groups if not included by plugin. This operation calls plugin getGroups having attributes=['members.value', 'id', 'displayName']. Now, members.value is excluded. This attribute was in use and could cause unneeded load when having many group members.

[Fixed]

• plugin-azure-ad.json configuration file introduced in v.4.1.7 was missing passwordProfile attribute mappings
• Symantec/Broadcom/CA ConnectorXpress configuration file config\resources\Azure - ScimGateway.xml now using standard text on manager attribute instead of selection dialogbox.

[Fixed]

• endpointMap and Symantec/Broadcom/CA ConnectorXpress configuration file config\resources\Azure - ScimGateway.xml introduced in v.4.1.7 had some missing logic

Note, this version breaks compability with previous versions of plugin-azure-ad

[Improved]

• endpointMap moved from scimgateway to plugin-azure-ad
• plugin-azure-ad.json configuration file now includes attribute mapping giving flexibility to add or customize AAD-SCIM attribute mappings
• Symantec/Broadcom/CA ConnectorXpress configuration file config\resources\Azure - ScimGateway.xml for defining the Azure endpoint, have been updated with some new attributes according to plugin-azure-ad.json attribute mappings

[Improved]

• Dependencies bump

[Improved]

SCIM Gateway related news:

• SCIM Stream is the modern way of user provisioning letting clients subscribe to messages instead of traditional IGA top-down provisioning. SCIM Stream includes SCIM Stream Gateway, the next generation SCIM Gateway that supports message subscription and automated provisioning

[Fixed]

• TypeConvert logic for multivalue attribute addresses did not correctly catch duplicate entries
• PUT (Replace User) configuration scim.usePutSoftsync=true will also prevent removing any existing roles that are not included in body.roles ref. v4.1.3

[Fixed]

• createUser response did not include the id that was returned by plugin

[Improved]

• PUT (Replace User) now includes group handling. Using configuration scim.usePutSoftsync=true will prevent removing any existing groups that are not included in body.groups

  Example:

    PUT /Users/bjensen
    {
      ...
      "groups": [
        {"value":"Employees","display":"Employees"},
        {"value":"Admins","display":"Admins"}
       ],
      ...
    }
  

[Improved]

• endpointMapper supporting one to many mappings using a comma separated list of attributes in the mapTo

  Configuration example:

    "map": {
      "user": {
        "PersonnelNumber": {
          "mapTo": "id,userName",
          "type": "string"
        },
        ...
      }
    }
  

[Improved]

• plugin-ldap support userFilter/groupFilter configuration for restricting scope

  Configuration example:

    {
      ...
      "userFilter": "(memberOf=CN=grp1,OU=Groups,DC=test,DC=com)(!(memberOf=CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com))",
      "groupFilter": "(!(cn=grp2))",
      ...
    }
  

[Improved]

• Supporting OAuth Client Credentials authentication

  Configuration example:

    "bearerOAuth": [
      {
        "client_id": "my_client_id",
        "client_secret": "my_client_secret",
        "readOnly": false,
        "baseEntities": []
      }
    ]
  

  In example above, client using SCIM Gateway must have OAuth configuration:

    client_id = my_client_id
    client_secret = my_client_secret
    token request url = http(s)://<host>:<port>/oauth/token
  

[Improved]

• create user/group supporting externalId

• plugin-restful renamed to plugin-scim

• plugin-ldap having improved SID/GUID support for Active Directory, also supporting domain map of userPrincipalName e.g. Azure AD => Active Directory

    "userPrincipalName": {
       "mapTo": "userName",
       "type": "string",
       "mapDomain": {
         "inbound": "test.onmicrosoft.com",
         "outbound": "my-company.com"
    }
  

• postinstall copying example plugins may be skipped by setting the property scimgateway_postinstall_skip = true in .npmrc or by setting environment SCIMGATEWAY_POSTINSTALL_SKIP = true

• Secrets now also support key-value storage. The key defined in plugin configuration have syntax process.text.<path> where <path> is the file which contains raw (UTF-8) character value. E.g. configuration endpoint.password could have value process.text./var/run/vault/endpoint.password, and the corresponding file contains the secret. Thanks to Raymond Augé

[MAJOR]

• New getUsers() replacing deprecated exploreUsers(), getUser() and getGroupUsers()
• New getGroups() replacing deprecated exploreGroups(), getGroup() and getGroupMembers()
• Fully filter and sort support
• Authentication configuration may now include a baseEntities array containing one or more baseEntity allowed for corresponding admin user
• New plugin-mongodb, thanks to Filipe Ribeiro and Miguel Ferreira (KEEP SOLUTIONS)

Note, using this major version require existing custom plugins to be upgraded. If you do not want to upgrade your custom plugins, the old version have to be installed using: npm install [email protected]

How to upgrade your custom plugins:

Replace: scimgateway.exploreUsers = async (baseEntity, attributes, startIndex, count) => {
With: scimgateway.getUsers = async (baseEntity, getObj, attributes) => {

See comments in provided plugins regarding the new getObj. Also note that attributes is now an array and not a comma separated string like previous versions

In the very beginning, add:

  // mandatory if-else logic - start
  if (getObj.operator) {
    if (getObj.operator === 'eq' && ['id', 'userName', 'externalId'].includes(getObj.attribute)) {
      // mandatory - unique filtering - single unique user to be returned - correspond to getUser() in versions < 4.x.x
    } else if (getObj.operator === 'eq' && getObj.attribute === 'group.value') {
      // optional - only used when groups are member of users, not default behavior - correspond to getGroupUsers() in versions < 4.x.x
      throw new Error(`${action} error: not supporting groups member of user filtering: ${getObj.rawFilter}`)
    } else {
      // optional - simpel filtering
      throw new Error(`${action} error: not supporting simpel filtering: ${getObj.rawFilter}`)
    }
  } else if (getObj.rawFilter) {
    // optional - advanced filtering having and/or/not - use getObj.rawFilter
    throw new Error(`${action} error: not supporting advanced filtering: ${getObj.rawFilter}`)
  } else {
    // mandatory - no filtering (!getObj.operator && !getObj.rawFilter) - all users to be returned - correspond to exploreUsers() in versions < 4.x.x
  }
  // mandatory if-else logic - end

In the new getUsers() replacing exploreUsers() "as-is", we then need some logic in the last "else" statement listed above.
We also need to add logic from existing getGroup() and getGroupMembers()
Please have a look at provieded plugins to see different ways of doing this logic.

Replace: scimgateway.exploreGroups = async (baseEntity, attributes, startIndex, count) => {
With: scimgateway.getGroups = async (baseEntity, getObj, attributes) => {

In the very beginning, add:

  // mandatory if-else logic - start
  if (getObj.operator) {
    if (getObj.operator === 'eq' && ['id', 'displayName', 'externalId'].includes(getObj.attribute)) {
      // mandatory - unique filtering - single unique user to be returned - correspond to getUser() in versions < 4.x.x
    } else if (getObj.operator === 'eq' && getObj.attribute === 'members.value') {
      // mandatory - return all groups the user 'id' (getObj.value) is member of - correspond to getGroupMembers() in versions < 4.x.x
      // Resources = [{ id: <id-group>> , displayName: <displayName-group>, members [{value: <id-user>}] }]
    } else {
      // optional - simpel filtering
      throw new Error(`${action} error: not supporting simpel filtering: ${getObj.rawFilter}`)
    }
  } else if (getObj.rawFilter) {
    // optional - advanced filtering having and/or/not - use getObj.rawFilter
    throw new Error(`${action} error: not supporting advanced filtering: ${getObj.rawFilter}`)
  } else {
    // mandatory - no filtering (!getObj.operator && !getObj.rawFilter) - all groups to be returned - correspond to exploreGroups() in versions < 4.x.x
  }
  // mandatory if-else logic - end

In the new getGroups() replacing exploreGroups() "as-is", we then need some logic in the last "else" statement listed above.
We also need to add logic from existing getGroup() and getGroupMembers()
Please have a look at provieded plugins to see different ways of doing this logic.

Delete deprecated exploreUsers(), getUser(), getGroupUsers(), exploreGroups(), getGroup() and getGroupMembers()

[Fixed]

• errorhandling related to running scimgateway as unikernel

[Fixed]

• for SCIM 2.0 exploreUsers/exploreGroups now includes schemas/resourceType on each object in the Resources response. This may be required by som IdP's.

[Improved]

• Dependencies bump

[Fixed]

• plugin-loki pagination fix

[Fixed]

• plugin-ldap objectGUID introduced in v.3.2.7 had some missing logic

[Improved]

• plugin-ldap supports using Active Directory objectGUID instead of dn mapped to id
  configuration example:

    "objectGUID": {
      "mapTo": "id",
      "type": "string"
    }
  

[Fixed]

• Return 500 on GET handler error instead of 404
  Thanks to Nipun Dayanath
• createUser/createRole response now includes id retrieved by getUser/getRole instead of using posted userName/displayName value

[Fixed]

• bearerJwt authentication missing public key handling
• plugin-azure-ad getGroup did not return all members when group had more than 100 members (Azure page size is 100). getGroup now using paging

[Fixed]

• default "type converted object" logic may fail on requests that includes a mix of type and blank type. Now blank type will be converted to type "undefined", and all types must be unique within the same request. "type converted object" logic can be turned off by configuration scim.skipTypeConvert = true
• plugin-loki supporting type = "undefined"

[Improved]

• new configuration scim.skipTypeConvert allowing overriding the default behaviour "type converted object" when set to true. See attribute list for details

• scimgateway.isMultivalue used by plugin-loki have been changed, and custom plugins using this method must be updated

    old syntax:
    scimgateway.isMultivalue('User', key)
  
    new syntax:
    scimgateway.isMultiValueTypes(key) 
  

[Fixed]

• plugin-loki some code cleanup

[Fixed]

• PUT was not according to the SCIM specification
• plugin-mssql broken after dependencies bump v3.1.0
• plugin-loki getUser using find instead of findOne to ensure returning unique user

[Fixed]

• plugins missing logic for handling the virtual readOnly user attribute groups (when "user member of groups") e.g. GET /Users/bjensen should return all user attributes including the virtual groups attribute. Now this user attribute will be automatically handled by scimgateway if not included in the plugin response.
• Pre and post actions onAddGroups/onRemoveGroups introduced in v.3.2.0 has been withdrawn

[Improved]

• scimgateway will do plugin response filtering according to requested attributes/excludedAttributes

[Fixed]

• plugin-azure-ad updating businessPhones (Office phone) broken after v3.2.0
• plugin-azure-ad listing groups for user did also include Azure roles
• SCIM v2.0 none core schema attributes handling
• response not always including correct schemas

[Improved]

• roles now using array instead of objects based on type. Note, this may break your custom plugins if roles logic are in use

[Improved]

• ipAllowList for restricting access to allowlisted IP addresses or subnets e.g. Azure AD IP-range
  Configuration example:

    "ipAllowList": [
      "13.66.60.119/32",
      "13.66.143.220/30",
      ...
      "2603:1056:2000::/48",
      "2603:1057:2::/48"
    ]
  

• Example plugins now configured for SCIM v2.0 instead of v1.1

  New configuration:

    "scim": {
        "version": "2.0"
    }
  

  Old configuration:

    "scim": {
        "version": "1.1"
    }
  

[Improved]

• plugin-ldap a general LDAP plugin pre-configured for Microsoft Active Directory. Using endpointMapper logic (like plugin-azure-ad) for attribute flexibility
• Pre and post actions onAddGroups/onRemoveGroups can be configured and needed logic to be defined in plugin method pre_post_Action
• Dependencies bump

[Fixed]

• plugin-azure-ad delete account fails in v3.x

[Fixed]

• Using proxy configuration broken in v3.x

[Fixed]

• Dependencies bump

[Improved]

• Pagination request having startIndex but no count, now sets count to default 200 and may be overridden by plugin.

[Fixed]

• GET /Users?startIndex=1&count=100 with no attributes filter included did not work

[Fixed]

• SCIM v2.0 PUT did not work.

[Improved]

• getApi supports body (apiObj).

  Old syntax:

    scimgateway.getApi = async (baseEntity, id, apiQuery) => {
  

  New syntax:

    scimgateway.getApi = async (baseEntity, id, apiQuery, apiObj) => {
  

[MAJOR]

• getUser/getGroup now using parameter getObj giving more flexibility
• deprecated modifyGroupMembers - now using modifyGroup
• deprecated configuration scimgateway.scim.customUniqueAttrMapping - replaced by getObj logic
• loglevel=off turns of logging
• Auth methods allowing more than one user/object including option for readOnly
• Includes latest versions of module dependencies

[UPGRADE]

Note, this is a major upgrade (^2.x.x => ^3.x.x) that will brake compatibility with any existing custom plugins. To force a major upgrade, suffix @latest must be include in the npm install command, but it's recommended to do a fresh install and copy any custom plugins instead of upgrading an existing package

Old syntax:

scimgateway.getUser = async (baseEntity, userName, attributes) => {
scimgateway.getGroup = async (baseEntity, displayName, attributes) => {
scimgateway.modifyGroupMembers = async (baseEntity, id, members) => {

New syntax:

scimgateway.getUser = async (baseEntity, getObj, attributes) => {
  const userName = getObj.identifier // gives v2.x compatibility

scimgateway.getGroup = async (baseEntity, getObj, attributes) => {
  const displayName = getObj.identifier // gives v2.x compatibility

scimgateway.modifyGroup = async (baseEntity, id, attrObj) => {
  // attrObj.members corresponds to members in deprecated modifyGroupMembers

getUser comments:
getObj = { filter: <filterAttribute>, identifier: <identifier> }
e.g: getObj = { filter: 'userName', identifier: 'bjensen'}
filter: userName and id must be supported

getGroup comments:
getObj = { filter: <filterAttribute>, identifier: <identifier> }
e.g: getObj = { filter: 'displayName', identifier: 'GroupA' }
filter: displayName and id must be supported

Please see provided example plugins

Using the new getObj parameter gives more flexibility in the way of lookup a user e.g:
http://localhost:8880/Users?filter=emails.value eq "[email protected]"&attributes=userName,name.givenName
getObj = { filter: 'emails.value', identifier: '[email protected]'}
attributes = 'userName,name.givenName'

Configuration file, auth settings have changed and now using arrays allowing more than one user/object to be set. "readOnly": true can also be set for allowing read only access for a spesific user (does not apply to bearerJwtAzure).

New syntax is:

"auth": {
  "basic": [
    {
      "username": "gwadmin",
      "password": "password",
      "readOnly": false
    }
  ],
  "bearerToken": [
    {
      "token": null,
      "readOnly": false
    }
  ],
  "bearerJwtAzure": [
    {
      "tenantIdGUID": null
    }
  ],
  "bearerJwt": [
    {
      "secret": null,
      "publicKey": null,
      "options": {
        "issuer": null
      },
      "readOnly": false
    }
  ]
}

[Fixed]

• Plugin configuration referring to an external configuration file using an array did not work.

[Fixed]

• Log masking of xml (SOAP) messages.

[Improved]

• Log masking of custom defined attributes.
  customMasking may include an array of attributes to be masked
  e.g. "customMasking": ["SSN", "weight"]

• Note, configurationfiles must be changed (old syntax still supported)
  old syntax:

    "loglevel": {
      "file": "debug",
      "console": "error"
    },
  

  new syntax:

    "log": {
      "loglevel": {
        "file": "debug",
        "console": "error"
      },
      "customMasking": []
    },
  

  By default SCIM Gateway includes masking of standard attributes like password

[Fixed]

• AAD as IdP broken after content-type validation introduced in v2.1.7
• AAD as IdP, none gallery app support
• Incorrect SCIM 2.0 multivalue converting
• plugin-saphana not correctly ported to v2.x

[Fixed]

• Validates content-type when body is included
• Case insensitive log-masking
• Plugins now don't using deprecated url.parse
• Misc cosmetics e.g. using const instead of let when not reassigned

[Fixed]

• plugin-azure-ad did not return correct error code (err.name = 'DuplicateKeyError') when failing on creating a duplicate user

[Improved]

• Includes latest versions of module dependencies

[Fixed]

• Incorrect SCIM 2.0 error handling after v2.1.0
• For duplicate key error, setting err.name = 'DuplicateKeyError' now gives correct status code 409 instead of defult 500 (see plugin-loki.js)

[Fixed]

• Standardized the API Gateway response (not SCIM related)
• Not allowing plugins to return password
• Colorize option now automatically turned off when using stdout/stderr redirect (configuration file loglevel.colorize is not needed)

[Fixed]

• SCIM 2.0 may use Operations.value as array and none array (issue #16)

[Improved]

• Option for replacing mandatory userName/displayName attribute by configuring customUniqueAttrMapping
• Includes latest versions of module dependencies

[Fixed]

• SCIM 2.0 may use Operations.value or Operation.value[] for PATCH syntax of the name object (issue #14)
• plugin-loki failed to modify a none existing object, e.g name object not included in Create User

[Improved]

• Custom schema attributes can be added by plugin configuration scim.customSchema having value set to filename of a JSON schema-file located in <package-root>/config/schemas

[UPGRADE]

• Configurationfiles for custom plugins should be changed
  old syntax:

    "scimversion": "1.1",  
  

  new syntax:

    "scim": {
      "version": "1.1",
      "customSchema": null
    },
  

Note, "1.1" is default, if using "2.0" the new syntax must be used.

[Fixed]

• SCIM 2.0 incorrect response for user not found
• Did not mask logentries ending with newline

[MAJOR]

• Codebase moved from callback to async/await
• Koa replacing Express
• Some log enhancements
• Deprecated cipher methods have been replaced
• Plugin restful (REST) and
• forwardinc (SOAP) includes failover logic based on endpoints defined in array baseUrls/baseServiceEndpoints.

[UPGRADE]

Note, this is a major upgrade (^1.x.x => ^2.x.x) and will brake compatibility with any existing custom plugins. To force a major upgrade, suffix @latest must be include in the npm install command, but it's recommended to do a fresh install and copy any custom plugins instead of upgrading an existing package

cd c:\my-scimgateway
npm install scimgateway@latest

Custom plugins needs some changes (please see included example plugins)

• scimgateway.on(xxx, function (..., callback) replaced with scimgateway.xxx = async (...) returning a result or throwing an error
• Rest and SOAP using doRequest method having endpoint failover logic through array baseUrls/baseServiceEndpoints defined in corresponding plugin configuration file.
• Additional argument attributes included in exploreUsers and exploreGroups method
• Proxy configuration includes option for user/password
• Encrypted passwords in configuration files needs to be reset to clear text passwords

[Fixed]

• HTTP status code 200 and totalResults set to value of 0 when using SCIM 2.0 filter user/group and no resulted user/group found. SCIM 1.1 still using status code 404.

[UPGRADE]

• For custom plugins to be compliant with SCIM 2.0, the getUser and getGroup methods needs to be updated. If user/group not found then return callback(null, null) instead of callback(err)

[Fixed]

• Fix related to external configuration (ref. v1.0.18) when running multiple plugins

[Improved]

• Includes latest versions of module dependencies
• Loglevel configuration for file and console now separated
• Loglevel colorize option (value false could be useful when redirecting console output)
• All configuration can be set based on environment variables
• All configuration can be set based on correspondig json-content in external file (supports also dot notation)

[UPGRADE]

• Configurationfiles for custom plugins should be changed
  old syntax:

  new syntax:

    "loglevel": {
      "file": "debug",
      "console": "error",
      "colorize": true
    }
