Overview

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.

SCIM Gateway is based on popular asynchronous event driven framework Bun or Node.js using TypeScript/JavaScript. It is cloud and firewall friendly. 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
Example 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 mapping 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.

Installation

Install Bun

Bun is a prerequisite and must be installed on the server.

Note, Bun installs by default in the current user’s HOMEPATH\.bun. To install it elsewhere, set BUN_INSTALL=<install-path> as a global or system environment variable before installing. The installation will add Bun to the current user’s path, but consider adding it to the global or system path for easier access across all users.

Install SCIM Gateway

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
bun init -y
bun install scimgateway
bun pm trust scimgateway

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

index.ts, lib and config directories containing example plugins have been copied to your package from the original scimgateway package located under node_modules. Bun requires bun pm trust scimgateway for allowing postinstall copying these files.

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

Startup and verify default Loki plugin

bun c:\my-scimgateway

If using Node.js instead of Bun, scimgateway must be downloaded from github and startup: node --experimental-strip-types c:\my-scimgateway\index.ts

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

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

Upgrade SCIM Gateway

Not needed after a fresh install

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 we copy index.ts, config and lib folder (customized plugins) from previous installation to the new installation. You should also read the version history to see if custom plugins needs to be updated.

Alternatives are:

Upgrade to latest minor version:

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

Avoid (re-)adding the files created during `postinstall`

For production we do not need example plugins to be incuded by the postinstall job
Bun will by default exlude any postinstall jobs unless we have trusted the scimgateway package using the bun pm trust scimgateway that updates package.json { trustedDependencies: ["scimgateway"] }

For Node.js (and also Bun), we might set the property scimgateway_postinstall_skip = true in .npmrc or setting environment SCIMGATEWAY_POSTINSTALL_SKIP = true

Configuration

index.ts defines one or more plugins to be started by the const plugins setting.

// example starting all default plugins:
// const plugins = ['loki', 'scim', 'entra-id', 'ldap', 'mssql', 'api', 'mongodb', 'saphana', 'soap']

const plugins = ['ldap']

for (const plugin of plugins) {
  try {
    await import(`./lib/plugin-${plugin}.ts`)
  } catch (err: any) {
    console.error(`plugin-${plugin} startup error: ${err.message}`)
    console.log()
  }
}

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

lib\plugin-saphana.ts
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.
idleTimeout - default 120, sets the the number of seconds to wait before timing out a connection due to inactivity
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.groupMemberOfUser - true or false, default false. If body contains groups and groupMemberOfUser=true, groups attribute will remain at user object (groups are member of user) instead of default user member of groups that will use modifyGroup method for maintaining group members.
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.
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. clientId and clientSecret are mandatory. clientSecret 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"
  ]
```
email - Contains configuration for sending email from plugin or automated error notifications emailOnError. Note, for emailOnError only the first error will be sent until sendInterval have passed
email.host - Mailserver e.g. “smtp.gmail.com” - mandatory when not using tenantIdGUID (Microsoft)
email.port - Port used by mailserver e.g. 587, 25 or 465 - mandatory when not using tenantIdGUID (Microsoft)
email.auth - Authentication configuration
email.auth.type - basic or oauth
email.auth.options - Authentication configuration options - note, different options for type basic and oauth
email.auth.options.username (basic) - Mail account for authentication normally same as sender of the email, e.g. “[email protected] ”
email.auth.options.password (basic) - Mail account password
email.auth.options.tenantIdGUID (oauth) - Entra ID tenant id, mandatory/recommended when using Microsoft Exchange Online
email.auth.options.tokenUrl (oauth) - Token endpoint, mandatory when not using tenantIdGUID (Microsoft Exchange Online)
email.auth.options.clientId (oauth) - Client ID
email.auth.options.clientSecret (oauth) - Client Secret
email.proxy - Proxy configuration if using mailproxy
email.proxy.host - Proxy host e.g. http://proxy-host:1234
email.proxy.username - username if authentication is required
email.proxy.password - password if authentication is required
email.emailOnError - Contains configuration for sending error notifications by email. Note, only the first error will be sent until sendInterval have passed
email.emailOnError.enabled - true or false, value set to true will enable email notifications
email.emailOnError.sendInterval - Default 15. Mail notifications on error are deferred until sendInterval minutes have passed since the last notification.
email.emailOnError.from - Sender email addresses e.g: “[email protected] ”, note must correspond with email.auth.options being used and mailserver configuration
email.emailOnError.to - Comma separated list of recipients email addresses e.g: “[email protected] ”
email.emailOnError.cc - Optional comma separated list of cc mail addresses
email.emailOnError.subject - Optional mail subject, default SCIM Gateway error message

Configuration notes when using default configuration oauth and tenantIdGUID - Microsoft Exchange Online (ExO):
- Entra ID application must have application permissions Mail.Send
- To prevent the sending of emails from any defined mailboxes, an ExO ApplicationAccessPolicy must be defined through PowerShell.
  
  First create a mail-enabled security-group that only includes those users (mailboxes) the application is allowed to send from
  Note, mail enabled security group cannot be created from portal, only from admin or admin.exchange console
```
  ##Connect to Exchange
  Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
  Connect-ExchangeOnline

  ##Create ApplicationAccessPolicy
  New-ApplicationAccessPolicy -AppId <AppClientID> -PolicyScopeGroupId <MailEnabledSecurityGrpId> -AccessRight RestrictAccess -Description "Restrict app to specific mailboxes"
```
stream - See SCIM Stream for configuration details
endpoint - Contains endpoint specific configuration according to our plugin code.

Configuration notes

Custom Schemas, ServiceProviderConfig and ResourceType can be used if ./lib/scimdef-v2.json or scimdef-v1.json exists. Original scimdef-v2.json/scimdef-v1.json 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"
  }

Manual startup

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

3 ways to start:

bun c:\my-scimgateway

bun c:\my-scimgateway\index.ts

<package-root>bun .

Ctrl+c to stop

Automatic startup - Windows Task Scheduler

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

Running as a isolated virtual Docker container

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  
  bun init -y  
  bun install scimgateway  
  bun pm trust 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
docker-compose-mssql.yml <== Example including MSSQL docker image
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 as IdP using SCIM Gateway

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.

CA Identity Manager as IdP using SCIM Gateway

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.

Entra ID provisioning

Using plugin-entra-id we could do user provisioning towards Entra ID

For testing purposes we could get an Azure free account

Entra ID configuration

Logon to Azure as global administrator
Microsoft Entra ID - App registrations
- Click “New registration”
- Name = SCIM Gateway Inbound
- Select: Accounts in this organizational directory only
- Click “Register”
- Overview:
  - Copy “Application (client) ID”
  - Copy “Directory (tentant) ID”
- Certificates & secrets:
  - Click “New client secret”
  - Description = SCIM Gateway Inbound secret#1
  - Select an appropriate “Expires”
  - Click “Add”
  - Copy “Value” of the new secret that was created
- API permissions: - Add a permission - Microsoft Graph - Application permissions
  - 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”

SCIM Gateway configuration

Edit index.ts
Set plugin to be started to entra-id

const plugins = ['entra-id']

Edit plugin-entra-id.json

Note, for Symantec/Broadcom/CA Provisioning we must 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": {
	  "connection": {
	    "baseUrls": [
		  "not in use for Entra ID when tenantIdGUID is defined"
	    ],
	    "auth": {
		  "type": "oauth",
		  "options": {
		    "tokenUrl": "oauth token_url - not in use when tenantIdGUID is defined",
		    "tenantIdGUID": "Entra ID Tenant ID (GUID) or Primary domain name - only used by plugin-entra-id",
		    "clientId": "oauth client_id - Entra ID: Application ID",
		    "clientSecret": "oauth client_secret - Entra ID: generated application secret value"
		  }
	    },
	    "proxy": {
		  "host": null,
		  "username": null,
		  "password": null
	    }
	  }
    }
  },
  "map": {
    ...
  }
}

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}

Using Symantec/Broadcom/CA Provisioning

Create a new endpoint type “Azure - ScimGateway”

Start SCIM Gateway
- Using plugin-entra-id: const plugins = ['entra-id'] in index.ts
- 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”

SCIM Gateway REST API

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.

API Gateway

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.ts

How to build your own plugins

For JavaScript coding editor you may use Visual Studio Code

Preparation:

Copy “best matching” example plugin e.g. lib\plugin-mssql.ts and config\plugin-mssql.json and rename both copies to your plugin name prefix e.g. plugin-mine.ts 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.ts and include your plugin in the startup e.g. const plugins = ['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.ts 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).

Turn off group functionality - getGroups to return empty response
Please see plugin-saphana that do not use groups.
getUsers (test provisioning retrieve accounts)
createUser (test provisioning new account)
deleteUser (test provisioning delete account)
modifyUser (test provisioning modify account)
Turn on group functionality - getGroups having logic for returning groups if groups are supported
getGroups (test provisioning retrieve groups)
modifyGroup (test provisioning modify group members)
createGroup (test provisioning new group)
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.ts 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)

How to change “user member of groups” to “group member of users”

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)

Methods

Plugins should have following initialization:

// start - mandatory plugin initialization
const ScimGateway: typeof import('scimgateway').ScimGateway = await (async () => {
  try {
	return (await import('scimgateway')).ScimGateway
  } catch (err) {
	const source = './scimgateway.ts'
	return (await import(source)).ScimGateway
  }
})()
const scimgateway = new ScimGateway()
const config = scimgateway.getConfig()
scimgateway.authPassThroughAllowed = false
// end - mandatory plugin initialization

If using REST, we could also include the HelperRest:

// start - mandatory plugin initialization
...
const HelperRest: typeof import('scimgateway').HelperRest = await (async () => {
  try {
	return (await import('scimgateway')).HelperRest
  } catch (err) {
	const source = './scimgateway.ts'
	return (await import(source)).HelperRest
  }
})()
...
// end - mandatory plugin initialization

Plugins should include following SCIM methods:

scimgateway.getUsers()
scimgateway.createUser()
scimgateway.deleteUser()
scimgateway.modifyUser()
scimgateway.getGroups()
scimgateway.createGroup()
scimgateway.deleteGroup()
scimgateway.modifyGroup()

In addition following general API methods are available for use:

scimgateway.postApi()
scimgateway.putApi()
scimgateway.patchApi()
scimgateway.getApi()
scimgateway.deleteApi()

In code editor (e.g., Visual Studio Code), method details and documentation are shown by IntelliSense

Configuration notes when using oauth and tenantIdGUID - Microsoft Exchange Online (ExO):

Entra ID application must have application permissions Mail.Send
To prevent the sending of emails from any defined mailboxes, an ExO ApplicationAccessPolicy must be defined through PowerShell.

First create a mail-enabled security-group that only includes those users (mailboxes) the application is allowed to send from
Note, mail enabled security group cannot be created from portal, only from admin or admin.exchange console
```
  ##Connect to Exchange
  Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
  Connect-ExchangeOnline

  ##Create ApplicationAccessPolicy
  New-ApplicationAccessPolicy -AppId <AppClientID> -PolicyScopeGroupId <MailEnabledSecurityGrpId> -AccessRight RestrictAccess -Description "Restrict app to specific mailboxes"

postinstall did not update index.ts when default bun index.ts did exist

v5.0.0

[MAJOR]

Major version v5.0.0 marks a shift to native TypeScript support and prioritizes Bun over Node.js.

Besides going from JavaScript to TypeScript, following can be mentioned:

Code editor now having IntelliSense showing available methods and documentation details for scimgateway methods
index.ts having new logic for starting plugins e.g.: const plugins = ['ldap'] for starting plugin-ldap
If using Node.js: node must be version >= 22.6.0, scimgateway must be downloaded from github (because stripping types is currently unsupported for files under node_modules) and startup argument --experimental-strip-types e.g.; node --experimental-strip-types index.ts
Plugins can use scimgateway.HelperRest() for REST functionality. Previously this logic was included in each plugin that used REST.
```
  // start - mandatory plugin initialization
  ...
  const HelperRest: typeof import('scimgateway').HelperRest = await (async () => {
    try {
  	return (await import('scimgateway')).HelperRest
    } catch (err) {
  	const source = './scimgateway.ts'
  	return (await import(source)).HelperRest
    }
  })()
  ...
  // end - mandatory plugin initialization  
```
Note, HelperRest use fetch which is not fully supported by Node.js regarding TLS.
For TLS and Node.js, environment must instead be used and set before started, e.g.,:
export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/package-path/config/certs/ca.pem
or export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
Configuration secrets (password, secret, token, client_secret, … ) defined in the endpoint section of the configuration file, will automatically be encrypted/decrypted. If there are secrets not handled by the automated encryption/decryption, we may use scimgateway.getSecret(). In the old version, corresponding method was named scimgateway.getPassword().
kubernetes configuration and logic have been removed. Kubernetes can use default /ping url for healthchecks, and graceful shutdown is taken care of the gateway
In case using custom schemas defined in lib/scimdef-v1/v2.js, these files have now changed to scimdef-v1/v2.json
config/docker/Dockerfile now using Bun
plugin-entra, modify licenses/servicePlans is not included anymore, only listing. For license management we instead use groups.
plugin-ldap, for LDAPS/TLS and Bun, we must use environments e.g.:
export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/package-path/config/certs/ca.pem
or export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0

How to migrate existing plugins:

Remove old index.js, use the new index.ts and update const plugins = ['xxx'] to include your plugin name(s)
Rename plugin-xxx.js to plugin-xxx.ts
import must be used instead of require for loading modules e.g.:
const Loki = require(’lokijs’) => import Loki from 'lokijs'

Use the new mandatory settings:

  // start - mandatory plugin initialization
  const ScimGateway: typeof import('scimgateway').ScimGateway = await (async () => {
    try {
      return (await import('scimgateway')).ScimGateway
    } catch (err) {
      const source = './scimgateway.ts'
      return (await import(source)).ScimGateway
    }
  })()
  const scimgateway = new ScimGateway()
  const config = scimgateway.getConfig()
  scimgateway.authPassThroughAllowed = false
  // end - mandatory plugin initialization

Use the new config object (mentioned above) which contains the scimgatway.endpoint configuration having automated encryption/decryption of any attributes named password, secret, client_secret, token and APIKey
The old scimgateway.getPassword() is not normally not needed because of scimgateway automated config logic. If needed, use the new scimgateway.getSecret().

Use the new logging syntax:

  replace: scimgateway.logger.debug(`${pluginName}[${baseEntity}] xxx`)  
  with: scimgateway.logDebug(baseEntity, `xxx`)

Use scimgateway.HelperRest() for REST functionlity, also supports Auth PassThrough
scimgateway.endpointMapper() may be used for inbound/outbound attribute mappings
In general when using TypeScript, variables should be type-defined: let isDone: boolean = false, catch (err: any), …

v4.5.12

[Improved]

plugin-ldap, new configuration { allowModifyDN: true } allows DN being changed based on modified mapping or namingAttribute

v4.5.11

[Improved]

deleteUser will try to revoke user from groups before deleting user
advanced or-filter (e.g., used by One Identity Manager) will be chunked and handled by scimgateway as separate calls to plugin
baseEntity now included in scimgateway log entries like plugin log entries

[Fixed]

plugin-ldap, using OpenLDAP - configuration { “isOpenLdap”: true } and adding an already existing group member returned 500 Error instead of 200 OK.
plugin-ldap, using OpenLDAP in combination with endpoint user mapping "type":"array" and "typeInbound":"string" for handling comma separated SCIM string mapping towards an endpoint array/multivalue attribute, did not return correct sort order of the comma separated string when using OpenLDAP. Mapping example:
```
  "<endpointAttr>": {
    "mapTo": "<scimAttr>",
    "type": "array",
    "typeInbound": "string"
  },
```

v4.5.10

[Fixed]

PUT changes introduced in v4.5.7 had incorrect check of configuration groupMemberOfUser (default not set)

v4.5.9

[Improved]

Dependencies bump

v4.5.8

[Fixed]

plugin-ldap failed when using national special characters and some other LDAP special characters in DN

Note, plugin-ldap now has following new configuration:

"ldap": {
  "isOpenLdap": false,
  ...
  "namingAttribute": {
	"user": [
	  {
		"attribute": "CN",
		"mapTo": "userName"
	  }
	],
	"group": [
	  {
		"attribute": "CN",
		"mapTo": "displayName"
	  }
	]
  },
  ...
}

isOpenLdap true/false decides whether or not OpenLDAP Foundation protocol should be used for national characters and special characters in DN. For Active Directory, default isOpenLdap=false should be used.

namingAttribute can now be linked to scim mapTo attribute and is not hardcoded like it was in previous version.

Previous userNamingAttr and groupNamingAttr shown below, is now deprecated

"ldap": {
  ...
  "userNamingAttr": "CN",
  "groupNamingAttr": "CN",
  ...
}

v4.5.7

[Fixed]

PUT changes introduced in v4.4.6 did not handle PUT /Groups correctly

[Improved]

configuration scim.usePutGroupMemberOfUser replaced by scim.groupMemberOfUser
misc cosmetics

v4.5.6

[Improved]

plugin-ldap preserve multivalue-attribute order on modify. Do not apply to groups/members.

v4.5.5

[Fixed]

PUT /Groups/xxx failed on final group lookup and returned error
endpointMapper failed to correctly map customExtensions in certain use cases

v4.5.4

[Fixed]

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

v4.5.3

[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” }, …

v4.5.1

[Improved]

scim-stream, client reconnect improvements

v4.5.0

[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

v4.4.6

[Improved]

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

v4.4.5

[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

v4.4.4

[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;

v4.4.3

[Improved]

Dependencies bump

v4.4.2

[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

v4.4.1

[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

v4.4.0

[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

v4.3.0

[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

v4.2.17

[Fixed]

plugin-loki incorrect unique filtering

[Improved]

Dependencies bump

v4.2.15

[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

v4.2.14

[Fixed]

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

v4.2.13

[Fixed]

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

v4.2.12

[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.

v4.2.11

[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.

v4.2.10

[Fixed]

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

v4.2.9

[Fixed]

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

v4.2.8

[Fixed]

PUT did not allow group name to be modified

v4.2.7

[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

v4.2.6

[Fixed]

cosmetics related to 401 error handling introduced in v4.2.4

v4.2.5

[Fixed]

travis test build cosmetics

v4.2.4

[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)

v4.2.3

[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.

v4.2.2

[Fixed]

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

v4.2.1

[Fixed]

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

v4.2.0

[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

v4.1.15

[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

v4.1.14

[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

v4.1.12

[Improved]

Dependencies bump

v4.1.11

[Fixed]

basic auth logon dialog should not show up when not configured

v4.1.10

[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.

v4.1.9

[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.

v4.1.8

[Fixed]

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

v4.1.7

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

v4.1.6

[Improved]

Dependencies bump

v4.1.5

[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

v4.1.4

[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

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"}
     ],
    ...
  }
```

v4.1.2

[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"
      },
      ...
    }
  }

v4.1.1

[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))",
    ...
  }

v4.1.0

[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

v4.0.1

[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

v4.0.0

[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()

v3.2.8

[Fixed]

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

v3.2.7

[Improved]

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

v3.2.6

[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

v3.2.5

[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) 
```

v3.2.4

[Fixed]

plugin-loki some code cleanup

v3.2.3

[Fixed]

plugin-mssql broken after dependencies bump v3.1.0
plugin-loki getUser using find instead of findOne to ensure returning unique user

v3.2.2

[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

v3.2.1

[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

v3.2.0

[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"
  }
```

v3.1.0

[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

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

v3.0.7

[Fixed]

Using proxy configuration broken in v3.x

v3.0.6

v3.0.4

[Improved]

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

v3.0.3

[Fixed]

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

v3.0.2

[Fixed]

SCIM v2.0 PUT did not work.

v3.0.1

[Improved]

getApi supports body (apiObj).

Old syntax:

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

New syntax:

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

v3.0.0

[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
    }
  ]
}

v2.1.13

[Fixed]

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

v2.1.11

[Fixed]

Log masking of xml (SOAP) messages.

v2.1.10

[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

v2.1.9

[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

Thanks to Luca Moretto

v2.1.8

[Fixed]

plugin-mssql not correctly ported to v2.x, and some config syntax for this plugin have also changed in newer releases of dependencies.

v2.1.7

[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

v2.1.6

[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

v2.1.4

[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)

v2.1.3

[Fixed]
