Overview

The SCIM standard is created to simplify user management and provisioning in the cloud by defining a schema for representing users and groups and a REST API for all the necessary CRUD operations. SCIM integrations with CAS allow deployers to auto-provision the authenticated CAS principal to a SCIM server/target with additional support to map principal attributes into the appropriate claims and properties of the user resource.

SCIM v2 is supported, thanks to the SDK provided by UnboundID.

SCIM v1 Usage

This feature is deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in the future.

Typical use case for enabling SCIM is to synchronize and provision user accounts, just in time, to services and applications that are integrated with CAS for single sign-on. In cases where the application also has its own account store, a mapping of user accounts between the CAS canonical account store (LDAP, JDBC, etc) and the application may be required. To accommodate this issue, CAS may be allowed to provision the authenticated principal via SCIM to a provisioning/identity/entity engine which would then dynamically synchronize user profiles to target systems.

Configuration

Support is enabled by including the following dependency in the WAR overlay:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apereo.cas</groupId>
    <artifactId>cas-server-support-scim</artifactId>
    <version>${cas.version}</version>
</dependency>

implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-scim:${project.'cas.version'}"

dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-bom:${project.'cas.version'}"
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-scim"
}

dependencies {
    /*
    The following platform references should be included automatically and are listed here for reference only.
            
    implementation enforcedPlatform("org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-bom:${project.'cas.version'}")
    implementation platform(org.springframework.boot.gradle.plugin.SpringBootPlugin.BOM_COORDINATES)
    */

    implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-scim"
}

The following settings and properties are available from the CAS configuration catalog:

_{The configuration settings listed below are tagged as Required in the CAS configuration metadata. This flag indicates that the presence of the setting may be needed to activate or affect the behavior of the CAS feature and generally should be reviewed, possibly owned and adjusted. If the setting is assigned a default value, you do not need to strictly put the setting in your copy of the configuration, but should review it nonetheless to make sure it matches your deployment expectations.}

cas.scim.oauth-token=

Authenticate into the SCIM server/service via a pre-generated OAuth token.

org.apereo.cas.configuration.model.support.scim.ScimProperties.

_{How can I configure this property?}

Configuration properties can be included and activated using the following strategies.

:information_source: Note

When possible, properties should be stored in lower-case kebab format, such as cas.property-name=value. The only possible exception to this rule is when naming actuator endpoints; The name of the actuator endpoints (i.e. ssoSessions) MUST remain in camelCase mode.

CAS properties can be specified using the Java configuration property syntax in any and all .properties files:

cas.scim.oauth-token=...

This is the most common form of property configuration that is recognized by CAS, regardless of the actual property source, which might in fact be managed separately outside the CAS environment, by another system or cloud framework.

CAS properties can be specified using the YAML syntax:

cas: 
  scim: 
    oauth-token: 

Note that YAML is very specific about structure and indentation. Be sure to verify the correctness of the final result with your YAML validator of choice.

CAS properties can be passed to the CAS web application as system properties, when the application is launched:

java -Dcas.scim.oauth-token="..." -jar build/libs/cas.war

The above example assumes that the CAS web application is packaged as cas.war with an embedded server container and can be found in the build/libs directory. Note the placement of the system property which must be specified before the CAS web application is launched.

CAS properties can specified as system environment variables before the CAS web application is launched:

export CAS_SCIM_OAUTH_TOKEN="..."

java -jar build/libs/cas.war

The above example assumes that the CAS web application is packaged as cas.war with an embedded server container and can be found in the build/libs directory.

CAS properties can be passed to the CAS web application as command-line arguments, when the application is launched:

java -jar build/libs/cas.war --cas.scim.oauth-token="..."

The above example assumes that the CAS web application is packaged as cas.war with an embedded server container and can be found in the build/libs directory.

cas.scim.password=

Authenticate into the SCIM server with a pre-defined password.
