System for Cross-domain Identity Management: Core Schema
Abstract
The System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) specifications
are designed to make identity management in cloud-based applications
and services easier. The specification suite builds upon experience
with existing schemas and deployments, placing specific emphasis on
simplicity of development and integration, while applying existing
authentication, authorization, and privacy models. Its intent is to
reduce the cost and complexity of user management operations by
providing a common user schema and extension model as well as binding
documents to provide patterns for exchanging this schema using HTTP.
This document provides a platform-neutral schema and extension model
for representing users and groups and other resource types in JSON
format. This schema is intended for exchange and use with cloud
service providers.

Introduction and Overview While there are existing standards for describing and exchanging user information, many of these standards can be difficult to implement and/or use; e.g., their wire protocols do not easily traverse firewalls and/or are not easily layered onto existing web protocols. As a result, many cloud providers implement non-standardized protocols for managing users within their services. This increases both the cost and complexity associated with organizations adopting products and services from multiple cloud providers, as they must perform redundant integration development. Similarly, cloud service providers seeking to interoperate with multiple application marketplaces or cloud identity providers would require pairwise integration. SCIM seeks to simplify this problem through an easily implemented specification suite that provides a common user schema and extension model, as well as a SCIM protocol document that defines exchanging this schema via an HTTP-based protocol [RFC7644]. The SCIM Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 specifications draw design input and feedback from existing identity-related protocols and schemas from a wide variety of sources including, but not limited to, existing services exposed by cloud providers, PortableContacts [PortableContacts], vCards [RFC6350], and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory services [RFC4512]. The SCIM protocol is an application-level protocol for provisioning and managing identity data specified through SCIM schemas. The protocol supports creation, modification, retrieval, and discovery of core identity resources such as Users and Groups, using a subset of the HTTP methods (GET for retrieval of resources; POST for creation, searching, and bulk modification; PUT for attribute replacement within resources; PATCH for partial update of attributes; and DELETE for removing resources). While the SCIM protocol and core schema specifications are intended to cover point-to-point scenarios, implementers and deployers should consider multi-hop and multi-party scenarios such as a service provider acting as a general profile service for in-domain applications (e.g., a directory), as well as scenarios where a service provider in turn passes information to a third-party service provider by acting as either a SCIM client or a SCIM service provider. Implementers and deployers should carefully consider their service level agreements and privacy agreements when distributing or propagating personal information (see Section 9.3). This document provides a JSON-based schema and extension model for representing users and groups, as well as service provider configuration. This schema is intended for exchange and use with cloud service providers and other cross-domain scenarios. 1.1. Requirements Notation and Conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. The key words "REQUIRED" and "OPTIONAL" are used throughout this document to indicate whether an attribute or schema element is required or optional. These key words may be used alone (e.g., "REQUIRED.") or in a sentence. If not specified, an attribute is considered to be optional. The word "DEFAULT" as used in Section 7 indicates that a "keyword" value for an attribute characteristic is the default behavior. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 Throughout this document, values are quoted to indicate that they are to be taken literally. When using these values in protocol messages, the quotes MUST NOT be used as part of the value. Throughout this document, figures may contain spaces and extra line wrapping to improve readability and accommodate space limitations. Similarly, some URIs contained within examples have been shortened for space and readability reasons. 1.2. Definitions Service Provider An HTTP web application that provides identity information via the SCIM protocol. Client A website or application that uses the SCIM protocol to manage identity data maintained by the service provider. The client initiates SCIM HTTP requests to a target service provider. Provisioning Domain A provisioning domain is an administrative domain external to the domain of a service provider for legal or technical reasons. For example, a SCIM client in an enterprise (provisioning client) communicates with a SCIM service provider that is owned or controlled by a different legal entity. Resource Type A type of a resource that is managed by a service provider. The resource type defines the resource name, endpoint URL, schemas, and other metadata that indicate where a resource is managed and how it is composed, e.g., "User" or "Group". Resource An artifact that is managed by a service provider and that contains one or more attributes, e.g., "User" or "Group". Endpoint An endpoint for a service provider is a defined base path relative to the service provider's Base URI (see Section 1.3 of [RFC7644]), over which SCIM operations may be performed against SCIM resources. For example, assuming that the service provider's Base URI is "https://example.com/", "User" resources may be accessed at the "https://example.com/Users" or "https://example.com/v2/Users" endpoint (see Section 3.13 of [RFC7644] for details regarding protocol versioning, e.g., 'v2'). Service provider schemas MAY be returned from the "/Schemas" endpoint. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 Schema A collection of attribute definitions that describe the contents of an entire or partial resource, e.g., "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User". The attribute definitions specify the name of the attribute, and metadata such as type (e.g., string, binary), cardinality (singular, multi, complex), mutability, and returnability. Singular Attribute A resource attribute that contains 0..1 values, e.g., "displayName". Multi-valued Attribute A resource attribute that contains 0..n values, e.g., "emails". Simple Attribute A singular or multi-valued attribute whose value is a primitive, e.g., "String". A simple attribute MUST NOT contain sub-attributes. Complex Attribute A singular or multi-valued attribute whose value is a composition of one or more simple attributes; e.g., "addresses" has the sub-attributes "streetAddress", "locality", "postalCode", and "country". Sub-Attribute A simple attribute that is contained within a complex attribute. 2. SCIM Schema A SCIM server provides a set of resources, the allowable contents of which are defined by a set of schema URIs and a resource type. SCIM's schema is not a document-centric one such as with [XML-Schema]. Instead, SCIM's support of schema is attribute based, where each attribute may have different type, mutability, cardinality, or returnability. Validation of documents and messages is always performed by an intended receiver, as specified by the SCIM specifications. Validation is performed by the receiver in the context of a SCIM protocol request (see [RFC7644]). For example, a SCIM service provider, upon receiving a request to replace an existing resource with a replacement JSON object, evaluates each asserted attribute based on its characteristics as defined in the relevant schema (e.g., mutability) and decides which attributes may be replaced or ignored. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 This specification provides a minimal core schema for representing users and groups (resources), encompassing common attributes found in many existing deployments and schemas. In addition to the minimal core schema, this document also specifies a standardized means by which service providers may extend schemas to define new resources and attributes in both standardized and service-provider-specific cases. Resources are categorized into common resource types such as "User" or "Group". Collections of resources of the same type are usually contained within the same "container" ("folder") endpoint. 2.1. Attributes A resource is a collection of attributes identified by one or more schemas. Minimally, an attribute consists of the attribute name and at least one simple or complex value, either of which may be multi-valued. For each attribute, a SCIM schema defines the data type, plurality, mutability, and other distinguishing features of an attribute. Attribute names are case insensitive and are often "camel-cased" (e.g., "camelCase"). SCIM resources are represented in JSON [RFC7159] format and MUST specify schema via the "schemas" attribute per Section 3. Attribute names MUST conform to the following ABNF rules: ATTRNAME = ALPHA *(nameChar) nameChar = "$" / "-" / "_" / DIGIT / ALPHA Figure 1: ABNF for Attribute Names The above rules (and other rules in this specification) use the "Core Rules" from ABNF; see Appendix B of [RFC5234]. Unless otherwise specified in this document, all ABNF strings are case insensitive and the character set for these strings is US-ASCII. For example, all attribute names defined by the above rule are case insensitive. When defining attribute names, it should be noted that the hyphen ("-") is not permitted in JavaScript attribute names (or in attribute names for some other languages). While there are no known issues within HTTP protocol and JSON notation, attribute names containing hyphens may need to be escaped when declaring corresponding names of JavaScript attributes. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 2.2. Attribute Characteristics All attributes have a set of characteristics that describe their type and handling by a service provider; full definitions may be found in Section 7. The characteristics include: o "required", o "canonicalValues", o "caseExact", o "mutability", o "returned", o "uniqueness", and o "referenceTypes". If not otherwise stated in Section 7, SCIM attributes have the following characteristics: o "required" is "false" (i.e., not REQUIRED), o "canonicalValues": none assigned (for example, the "type" sub-attribute as described in Section 2.4), o "caseExact" is "false" (i.e., case-insensitive), o "mutability" is "readWrite" (i.e., modifiable), o "returned" is "default" (the attribute value is returned by default), o "uniqueness" is "none" (has no uniqueness enforced), and o "type" is "string" (Section 2.3.1). 2.3. Attribute Data Types Attribute data types are derived from JSON [RFC7159]. The JSON format defines a limited set of data types; hence, where appropriate, alternate JSON representations derived from XML Schema [XML-Schema] are defined below. SCIM extensions SHOULD NOT introduce new data types. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 Table 1 maps the following SCIM data types to their corresponding SCIM schema type and underlying JSON data type: +-----------+-------------+-----------------------------------------+ | SCIM Data | SCIM Schema | JSON Type | | Type | "type" | | +-----------+-------------+-----------------------------------------+ | String | "string" | String per Section 7 of [RFC7159] | | | | | | Boolean | "boolean" | Value per Section 3 of [RFC7159] | | | | | | Decimal | "decimal" | Number per Section 6 of [RFC7159] | | | | | | Integer | "integer" | Number per Section 6 of [RFC7159] | | | | | | DateTime | "dateTime" | String per Section 7 of [RFC7159] | | | | | | Binary | "binary" | Binary value base64 encoded per Section | | | | 4 of [RFC4648], or with URL and | | | | filename safe alphabet URL per Section | | | | 5 of [RFC4648] that is passed as a JSON | | | | string per Section 7 of [RFC7159] | | | | | | Reference | "reference" | String per Section 7 of [RFC7159] | | | | | | Complex | "complex" | Object per Section 4 of [RFC7159] | +-----------+-------------+-----------------------------------------+ Table 1: SCIM Data Type to JSON Representation 2.3.1. String A sequence of zero or more Unicode characters encoded using UTF-8 as per [RFC2277] and [RFC3629]. The JSON format is defined in Section 7 of [RFC7159]. An attribute with SCIM schema type "string" MAY specify a required data format. Additionally, when "canonicalValues" is specified, service providers MAY restrict accepted values to the specified values. 2.3.2. Boolean The literal "true" or "false". The JSON format is defined in Section 3 of [RFC7159]. A boolean has no case sensitivity or uniqueness. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 2.3.3. Decimal A real number with at least one digit to the left and right of the period. The JSON format is defined in Section 6 of [RFC7159]. A decimal has no case sensitivity. 2.3.4. Integer A whole number with no fractional digits or decimal. The JSON format is defined in Section 6 of [RFC7159], with the additional constraint that the value MUST NOT contain fractional or exponent parts. An integer has no case sensitivity. 2.3.5. DateTime A DateTime value (e.g., 2008-01-23T04:56:22Z). The attribute value MUST be encoded as a valid xsd:dateTime as specified in Section 3.3.7 of [XML-Schema] and MUST include both a date and a time. A date time format has no case sensitivity or uniqueness. Values represented in JSON format MUST conform to the XML constraints above and are represented as a JSON string per Section 7 of [RFC7159]. 2.3.6. Binary Arbitrary binary data. The attribute value MUST be base64 encoded as specified in Section 4 of [RFC4648]. In cases where a URL-safe encoding is required, the attribute definition MAY specify that base64 URL encoding be used as per Section 5 of [RFC4648]. Unless otherwise specified in the attribute definition, trailing padding characters MAY be omitted ("="). In JSON representation, the encoded values are represented as a JSON string per Section 7 of [RFC7159]. A binary is case exact and has no uniqueness. 2.3.7. Reference A URI for a resource. A resource MAY be a SCIM resource, an external link to a resource (e.g., a photo), or an identifier such as a URN. The value MUST be the absolute or relative URI of the target resource. Relative URIs should be resolved as specified in Section 5.2 of [RFC3986]. However, the base URI for relative URI resolution MUST include all URI components and path segments up to, but not including, the Endpoint URI (the SCIM service provider root Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 endpoint); e.g., the base URI for a request to "https://example.com/v2/Users/2819c223-7f76-453a-919d-413861904646" would be "https://example.com/v2/", and the relative URI for this resource would be "Users/2819c223-7f76-453a-919d-413861904646". In JSON representation, the URI value is represented as a JSON string per Section 7 of [RFC7159]. A reference is case exact. A reference has a "referenceTypes" attribute that indicates what types of resources may be linked, as per Section 7 of this document. A reference URI MUST be to an HTTP-addressable resource. An HTTP client performing a GET operation on a reference URI MUST receive the target resource or an appropriate HTTP response code. A SCIM service provider MAY choose to enforce referential integrity for reference types referring to SCIM resources. By convention, a reference is commonly represented as a "$ref" sub-attribute in complex or multi-valued attributes; however, this is OPTIONAL. 2.3.8. Complex A singular or multi-valued attribute whose value is a composition of one or more simple attributes. The JSON format is defined in Section 4 of [RFC7159]. The order of the component attributes is not significant. Servers and clients MUST NOT require or expect attributes to be in any specific order when an object is either generated or analyzed. A complex attribute has no uniqueness or case sensitivity. A complex attribute MUST NOT contain sub-attributes that have sub-attributes (i.e., that are complex). 2.4. Multi-Valued Attributes Multi-valued attributes contain a list of elements using the JSON array format defined in Section 5 of [RFC7159]. Elements can be either of the following: o primitive values, or o objects with a set of sub-attributes and values, using the JSON object format defined in Section 4 of [RFC7159], in which case they SHALL be considered to be complex attributes. As with complex attributes, the order of sub-attributes is not significant. The predefined sub-attributes listed in this section can be used with multi-valued attribute objects, but these sub-attributes MUST be used with the meanings defined here. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 If not otherwise defined, the default set of sub-attributes for a multi-valued attribute is as follows: type A label indicating the attribute's function, e.g., "work" or "home". primary A Boolean value indicating the 'primary' or preferred attribute value for this attribute, e.g., the preferred mailing address or the primary email address. The primary attribute value "true" MUST appear no more than once. If not specified, the value of "primary" SHALL be assumed to be "false". display A human-readable name, primarily used for display purposes and having a mutability of "immutable". value The attribute's significant value, e.g., email address, phone number. $ref The reference URI of a target resource, if the attribute is a reference. URIs are canonicalized per Section 6.2 of [RFC3986]. While the representation of a resource may vary in different SCIM protocol API versions (see Section 3.13 of [RFC7644]), URIs for SCIM resources with an API version SHALL be considered comparable to URIs without a version or with a different version. For example, "https://example.com/Users/12345" is equivalent to "https://example.com/v2/Users/12345". When returning multi-valued attributes, service providers SHOULD canonicalize the value returned (e.g., by returning a value for the sub-attribute "type", such as "home" or "work") when appropriate (e.g., for email addresses and URLs). Service providers MAY return element objects with the same "value" sub-attribute more than once with a different "type" sub-attribute (e.g., the same email address may be used for work and home) but SHOULD NOT return the same (type, value) combination more than once per attribute, as this complicates processing by the client. When defining schema for multi-valued attributes, it is considered a good practice to provide a type attribute that MAY be used for the purpose of canonicalization of values. In the schema definition for an attribute, the service provider MAY define the recommended canonical values (see Section 7). Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 2.5. Unassigned and Null Values Unassigned attributes, the null value, or an empty array (in the case of a multi-valued attribute) SHALL be considered to be equivalent in "state". Assigning an attribute with the value "null" or an empty array (in the case of multi-valued attributes) has the effect of making the attribute "unassigned". When a resource is expressed in JSON format, unassigned attributes, although they are defined in schema, MAY be omitted for compactness. 3. SCIM Resources Each SCIM resource is a JSON object that has the following components: Resource Type Each resource (or JSON object) in SCIM has a resource type ("meta.resourceType"; see Section 3.1) that defines the resource's core attribute schema and any attribute extension schema, as well as the endpoint where objects of the same type may be found. More information about a resource MAY be found in its resource type definition (see Section 6). "Schemas" Attribute The "schemas" attribute is a REQUIRED attribute and is an array of Strings containing URIs that are used to indicate the namespaces of the SCIM schemas that define the attributes present in the current JSON structure. This attribute may be used by parsers to define the attributes present in the JSON structure that is the body to an HTTP request or response. Each String value must be a unique URI. All representations of SCIM schemas MUST include a non-empty array with value(s) of the URIs supported by that representation. The "schemas" attribute for a resource MUST only contain values defined as "schema" and "schemaExtensions" for the resource's defined "resourceType". Duplicate values MUST NOT be included. Value order is not specified and MUST NOT impact behavior. Common Attributes A resource's common attributes are those attributes that are part of every SCIM resource, regardless of the value of the "schemas" attribute present in a JSON body. These attributes are not defined in any particular schema but SHALL be assumed to be present in every resource, regardless of the value of the "schemas" attribute. See Section 3.1. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 Core Attributes A resource's core attributes are those attributes that sit at the top level of the JSON object together with the common attributes (such as the resource "id"). The list of valid attributes is specified by the resource's resource type "schema" attribute (see Section 6). This same value is also present in the resource's "schemas" attribute. Extended Attributes Extended schema attributes are specified by the resource's resource type "schemaExtensions" attribute (see Section 6). Unlike core attributes, extended attributes are kept in their own sub-attribute namespace identified by the schema extension URI. This avoids attribute name conflicts that may arise due to conflicts from separate schema extensions. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 The following example "User" contains the common attributes "id" and "externalId", as well as the complex attribute "meta", which contains the sub-attribute "resourceType". The resource also contains core attributes "userName" and "name", as well as extended enterprise User attributes "employeeNumber" and "costCenter", which are contained in their own JSON substructure identified by their schema URI. Some values have been omitted (...), shortened, or spaced out for clarity. { "schemas": ["urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User", "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User"], "id": "2819c223-7f76-453a-413861904646", "externalId": "701984", "userName": "bjensen@example.com", "name": { "formatted": "Ms. Barbara J Jensen, III", "familyName": "Jensen", "givenName": "Barbara", "middleName": "Jane", "honorificPrefix": "Ms.", "honorificSuffix": "III" }, ... "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User": { "employeeNumber": "701984", "costCenter": "4130", ... }, "meta": { "resourceType": "User", "created": "2010-01-23T04:56:22Z", "lastModified": "2011-05-13T04:42:34Z", "version": "W\/\"3694e05e9dff591\"", "location": "https://example.com/v2/Users/2819c223-7f76-453a-413861904646" } } Figure 2: Example JSON Resource Structure Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 15]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 3.1. Common Attributes Each SCIM resource (Users, Groups, etc.) includes the following common attributes. With the exception of the "ServiceProviderConfig" and "ResourceType" server discovery endpoints and their associated resources, these attributes MUST be defined for all resources, including any extended resource types. When accepted by a service provider (e.g., after a SCIM create), the attributes "id" and "meta" (and its associated sub-attributes) MUST be assigned values by the service provider. Common attributes are considered to be part of every base resource schema and do not use their own "schemas" URI. For backward compatibility, some existing schema definitions MAY list common attributes as part of the schema. The attribute characteristics (see Section 2.2) listed here SHALL take precedence over older definitions that may be included in existing schemas. id A unique identifier for a SCIM resource as defined by the service provider. Each representation of the resource MUST include a non-empty "id" value. This identifier MUST be unique across the SCIM service provider's entire set of resources. It MUST be a stable, non-reassignable identifier that does not change when the same resource is returned in subsequent requests. The value of the "id" attribute is always issued by the service provider and MUST NOT be specified by the client. The string "bulkId" is a reserved keyword and MUST NOT be used within any unique identifier value. The attribute characteristics are "caseExact" as "true", a mutability of "readOnly", and a "returned" characteristic of "always". See Section 9 for additional considerations regarding privacy. externalId A String that is an identifier for the resource as defined by the provisioning client. The "externalId" may simplify identification of a resource between the provisioning client and the service provider by allowing the client to use a filter to locate the resource with an identifier from the provisioning domain, obviating the need to store a local mapping between the provisioning domain's identifier of the resource and the identifier used by the service provider. Each resource MAY include a non-empty "externalId" value. The value of the "externalId" attribute is always issued by the provisioning client and MUST NOT be specified by the service provider. The service provider MUST always interpret the externalId as scoped to the provisioning domain. While the server does not enforce uniqueness, it is assumed that the value's uniqueness is controlled by the client setting the value. See Section 9 for Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 16]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 additional considerations regarding privacy. This attribute has "caseExact" as "true" and a mutability of "readWrite". This attribute is OPTIONAL. meta A complex attribute containing resource metadata. All "meta" sub-attributes are assigned by the service provider (have a "mutability" of "readOnly"), and all of these sub-attributes have a "returned" characteristic of "default". This attribute SHALL be ignored when provided by clients. "meta" contains the following sub-attributes: resourceType The name of the resource type of the resource. This attribute has a mutability of "readOnly" and "caseExact" as "true". created The "DateTime" that the resource was added to the service provider. This attribute MUST be a DateTime. lastModified The most recent DateTime that the details of this resource were updated at the service provider. If this resource has never been modified since its initial creation, the value MUST be the same as the value of "created". location The URI of the resource being returned. This value MUST be the same as the "Content-Location" HTTP response header (see Section 3.1.4.2 of [RFC7231]). version The version of the resource being returned. This value must be the same as the entity-tag (ETag) HTTP response header (see Sections 2.1 and 2.3 of [RFC7232]). This attribute has "caseExact" as "true". Service provider support for this attribute is optional and subject to the service provider's support for versioning (see Section 3.14 of [RFC7644]). If a service provider provides "version" (entity-tag) for a representation and the generation of that entity-tag does not satisfy all of the characteristics of a strong validator (see Section 2.1 of [RFC7232]), then the origin server MUST mark the "version" (entity-tag) as weak by prefixing its opaque value with "W/" (case sensitive).

RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 3.2. Defining New Resource Types SCIM may be extended to define new classes of resources by defining a resource type. Each resource type defines the name, endpoint, base schema (the attributes), and any schema extensions registered for use with the resource type. In order to offer new types of resources, a service provider defines the new resource type as specified in Section 6 and defines a schema representation (see Section 8.7). 3.3. Attribute Extensions to Resources SCIM allows resource types to have extensions in addition to their core schema. This is similar to how "objectClasses" are used in LDAP [RFC4512]. However, unlike LDAP, there is no inheritance model; all extensions are additive (similar to the LDAP auxiliary object class). Each value in the "schemas" attribute indicates additive schema that MAY exist in a SCIM resource representation. The "schemas" attribute MUST contain at least one value, which SHALL be the base schema for the resource. The "schemas" attribute MAY contain additional values indicating extended schemas that are in use. Schema extensions SHOULD avoid redefining any attributes defined in this specification and SHOULD follow conventions defined in this specification. Except for the base object schema, the schema extension URI SHALL be used as a JSON container to distinguish attributes belonging to the extension namespace from base schema attributes. See Figure 5, which is an example of the JSON representation of an enterprise User and is also an example of a User with extended schema. In order to determine which URI value in the "schemas" attribute is the base schema and which is an extended schema for any given resource, the resource's "resourceType" attribute value MAY be used to retrieve the resource's "ResourceType" schema (see Section 6). See the "ResourceType" representation in Figure 8 for an example. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 18]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 4. SCIM Core Resources and Extensions This section defines the default resource schemas present in a SCIM server. SCIM is not exclusive to these resources and may be extended to support other resource types (see Section 3.2). 4.1. "User" Resource Schema SCIM provides a resource type for "User" resources. The core schema for "User" is identified using the following schema URI: "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User". The following attributes are defined in addition to the core schema attributes: 4.1.1. Singular Attributes userName A service provider's unique identifier for the user, typically used by the user to directly authenticate to the service provider. Often displayed to the user as their unique identifier within the system (as opposed to "id" or "externalId", which are generally opaque and not user-friendly identifiers). Each User MUST include a non-empty userName value. This identifier MUST be unique across the service provider's entire set of Users. This attribute is REQUIRED and is case insensitive. name The components of the user's name. Service providers MAY return just the full name as a single string in the formatted sub-attribute, or they MAY return just the individual component attributes using the other sub-attributes, or they MAY return both. If both variants are returned, they SHOULD be describing the same name, with the formatted name indicating how the component attributes should be combined. formatted The full name, including all middle names, titles, and suffixes as appropriate, formatted for display (e.g., "Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III"). familyName The family name of the User, or last name in most Western languages (e.g., "Jensen" given the full name "Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III"). givenName The given name of the User, or first name in most Western languages (e.g., "Barbara" given the full name "Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III"). middleName The middle name(s) of the User (e.g., "Jane" given the full name "Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III"). Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 19]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 honorificPrefix The honorific prefix(es) of the User, or title in most Western languages (e.g., "Ms." given the full name "Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III"). honorificSuffix The honorific suffix(es) of the User, or suffix in most Western languages (e.g., "III" given the full name "Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III"). displayName The name of the user, suitable for display to end-users. Each user returned MAY include a non-empty displayName value. The name SHOULD be the full name of the User being described, if known (e.g., "Babs Jensen" or "Ms. Barbara J Jensen, III") but MAY be a username or handle, if that is all that is available (e.g., "bjensen"). The value provided SHOULD be the primary textual label by which this User is normally displayed by the service provider when presenting it to end-users. nickName The casual way to address the user in real life, e.g., "Bob" or "Bobby" instead of "Robert". This attribute SHOULD NOT be used to represent a User's username (e.g., bjensen or mpepperidge). profileUrl A URI that is a uniform resource locator (as defined in Section 1.1.3 of [RFC3986]) and that points to a location representing the user's online profile (e.g., a web page). URIs are canonicalized per Section 6.2 of [RFC3986]. title The user's title, such as "Vice President". userType Used to identify the relationship between the organization and the user. Typical values used might be "Contractor", "Employee", "Intern", "Temp", "External", and "Unknown", but any value may be used. preferredLanguage Indicates the user's preferred written or spoken languages and is generally used for selecting a localized user interface. The value indicates the set of natural languages that are preferred. The format of the value is the same as the HTTP Accept-Language header field (not including "Accept-Language:") and is specified in Section 5.3.5 of [RFC7231]. The intent of this value is to enable cloud applications to perform matching of language tags [RFC4647] to the user's language preferences, regardless of what may be indicated by a user agent (which might be shared), or in an Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 20]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 interaction that does not involve a user (such as in a delegated OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] style interaction) where normal HTTP Accept-Language header negotiation cannot take place. locale Used to indicate the User's default location for purposes of localizing such items as currency, date time format, or numerical representations. A valid value is a language tag as defined in [RFC5646]. Computer languages are explicitly excluded. A language tag is a sequence of one or more case-insensitive sub-tags, each separated by a hyphen character ("-", %x2D). For backward compatibility, servers MAY accept tags separated by an underscore character ("_", %x5F). In most cases, a language tag consists of a primary language sub-tag that identifies a broad family of related languages (e.g., "en" = English) and that is optionally followed by a series of sub-tags that refine or narrow that language's range (e.g., "en-CA" = the variety of English as communicated in Canada). Whitespace is not allowed within a language tag. Example tags include: fr, en-US, es-419, az-Arab, x-pig-latin, man-Nkoo-GN See [RFC5646] for further information. timezone The User's time zone, in IANA Time Zone database format [RFC6557], also known as the "Olson" time zone database format [Olson-TZ] (e.g., "America/Los_Angeles"). active A Boolean value indicating the user's administrative status. The definitive meaning of this attribute is determined by the service provider. As a typical example, a value of true implies that the user is able to log in, while a value of false implies that the user's account has been suspended. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 21]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 password This attribute is intended to be used as a means to set, replace, or compare (i.e., filter for equality) a password. The cleartext value or the hashed value of a password SHALL NOT be returnable by a service provider. If a service provider holds the value locally, the value SHOULD be hashed. When a password is set or changed by the client, the cleartext password SHOULD be processed by the service provider as follows: * Prepare the cleartext value for international language comparison. See Section 7.8 of [RFC7644]. * Validate the value against server password policy. Note: The definition and enforcement of password policy are beyond the scope of this document. * Ensure that the value is encrypted (e.g., hashed). See Section 9.2 for acceptable hashing and encryption handling when storing or persisting for provisioning workflow reasons. A service provider that immediately passes the cleartext value on to another system or programming interface MUST pass the value directly over a secured connection (e.g., Transport Layer Security (TLS)). If the value needs to be temporarily persisted for a period of time (e.g., because of a workflow) before provisioning, then the value MUST be protected by some method, such as encryption. Testing for an equality match MAY be supported if there is an existing stored hashed value. When testing for equality, the service provider: * Prepares the filter value for international language comparison. See Section 7.8 of [RFC7644]. * Generates the salted hash of the filter value and tests for a match with the locally held value. The mutability of the password attribute is "writeOnly", indicating that the value MUST NOT be returned by a service provider in any form (the attribute characteristic "returned" is "never"). Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 22]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 4.1.2. Multi-Valued Attributes The following multi-valued attributes are defined. emails Email addresses for the User. The value SHOULD be specified according to [RFC5321]. Service providers SHOULD canonicalize the value according to [RFC5321], e.g., "bjensen@example.com" instead of "bjensen@EXAMPLE.COM". The "display" sub-attribute MAY be used to return the canonicalized representation of the email value. The "type" sub-attribute is used to provide a classification meaningful to the (human) user. The user interface should encourage the use of basic values of "work", "home", and "other" and MAY allow additional type values to be used at the discretion of SCIM clients. phoneNumbers Phone numbers for the user. The value SHOULD be specified according to the format defined in [RFC3966], e.g., 'tel:+1-201-555-0123'. Service providers SHOULD canonicalize the value according to [RFC3966] format, when appropriate. The "display" sub-attribute MAY be used to return the canonicalized representation of the phone number value. The sub-attribute "type" often has typical values of "work", "home", "mobile", "fax", "pager", and "other" and MAY allow more types to be defined by the SCIM clients. ims Instant messaging address for the user. No official canonicalization rules exist for all instant messaging addresses, but service providers SHOULD, when appropriate, remove all whitespace and convert the address to lowercase. The "type" sub-attribute SHOULD take one of the following values: "aim", "gtalk", "icq", "xmpp", "msn", "skype", "qq", "yahoo", or "other" (representing currently popular IM services at the time of this writing). Service providers MAY add further values if new IM services are introduced and MAY specify more detailed canonicalization rules for each possible value. photos A URI that is a uniform resource locator (as defined in Section 1.1.3 of [RFC3986]) that points to a resource location representing the user's image. The resource MUST be a file (e.g., a GIF, JPEG, or PNG image file) rather than a web page containing an image. Service providers MAY return the same image in different sizes, although it is recognized that no standard for describing images of various sizes currently exists. Note that this attribute SHOULD NOT be used to send down arbitrary photos Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 23]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 taken by this user; instead, profile photos of the user that are suitable for display when describing the user should be sent. Instead of the standard canonical values for type, this attribute defines the following canonical values to represent popular photo sizes: "photo" and "thumbnail". addresses A physical mailing address for this user. Canonical type values of "work", "home", and "other". This attribute is a complex type with the following sub-attributes. All sub-attributes are OPTIONAL. formatted The full mailing address, formatted for display or use with a mailing label. This attribute MAY contain newlines. streetAddress The full street address component, which may include house number, street name, P.O. box, and multi-line extended street address information. This attribute MAY contain newlines. locality The city or locality component. region The state or region component. postalCode The zip code or postal code component. country The country name component. When specified, the value MUST be in ISO 3166-1 "alpha-2" code format [ISO3166]; e.g., the United States and Sweden are "US" and "SE", respectively. groups A list of groups to which the user belongs, either through direct membership, through nested groups, or dynamically calculated. The values are meant to enable expression of common group-based or role-based access control models, although no explicit authorization model is defined. It is intended that the semantics of group membership and any behavior or authorization granted as a result of membership are defined by the service provider. The canonical types "direct" and "indirect" are defined to describe how the group membership was derived. Direct group membership indicates that the user is directly associated with the group and SHOULD indicate that clients may modify membership through the "Group" resource. Indirect membership indicates that user membership is transitive or dynamic and implies that clients cannot modify indirect group membership through the "Group" resource but MAY modify direct group membership through the "Group" resource, which may influence indirect memberships. If the SCIM service provider exposes a "Group" resource, the "value" Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 24]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 sub-attribute MUST be the "id", and the "$ref" sub-attribute must be the URI of the corresponding "Group" resources to which the user belongs. Since this attribute has a mutability of "readOnly", group membership changes MUST be applied via the "Group" Resource (Section 4.2). This attribute has a mutability of "readOnly". entitlements A list of entitlements for the user that represent a thing the user has. An entitlement may be an additional right to a thing, object, or service. No vocabulary or syntax is specified; service providers and clients are expected to encode sufficient information in the value so as to accurately and without ambiguity determine what the user has access to. This value has no canonical types, although a type may be useful as a means to scope entitlements. roles A list of roles for the user that collectively represent who the user is, e.g., "Student", "Faculty". No vocabulary or syntax is specified, although it is expected that a role value is a String or label representing a collection of entitlements. This value has no canonical types. x509Certificates A list of certificates associated with the resource (e.g., a User). Each value contains exactly one DER-encoded X.509 certificate (see Section 4 of [RFC5280]), which MUST be base64 encoded per Section 4 of [RFC4648]. A single value MUST NOT contain multiple certificates and so does not contain the encoding "SEQUENCE OF Certificate" in any guise. 4.2. "Group" Resource Schema SCIM provides a schema for representing groups, identified using the following schema URI: "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group". "Group" resources are meant to enable expression of common group-based or role-based access control models, although no explicit authorization model is defined. It is intended that the semantics of group membership, and any behavior or authorization granted as a result of membership, are defined by the service provider; these are considered out of scope for this specification. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 25]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 The following singular attribute is defined in addition to the common attributes defined in the SCIM core schema: displayName A human-readable name for the Group. REQUIRED. The following multi-valued attribute is defined in addition to the common attributes defined in the SCIM core schema: members A list of members of the Group. While values MAY be added or removed, sub-attributes of members are "immutable". The "value" sub-attribute contains the value of an "id" attribute of a SCIM resource, and the "$ref" sub-attribute must be the URI of a SCIM resource such as a "User", or a "Group". The intention of the "Group" type is to allow the service provider to support nested groups. Service providers MAY require clients to provide a non-empty value by setting the "required" attribute characteristic of a sub-attribute of the "members" attribute in the "Group" resource schema. 4.3. Enterprise User Schema Extension The following SCIM extension defines attributes commonly used in representing users that belong to, or act on behalf of, a business or enterprise. The enterprise User extension is identified using the following schema URI: "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User". The following singular attributes are defined: employeeNumber A string identifier, typically numeric or alphanumeric, assigned to a person, typically based on order of hire or association with an organization. costCenter Identifies the name of a cost center. organization Identifies the name of an organization. division Identifies the name of a division. department Identifies the name of a department. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 26]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 manager The user's manager. A complex type that optionally allows service providers to represent organizational hierarchy by referencing the "id" attribute of another User. value The "id" of the SCIM resource representing the user's manager. RECOMMENDED. $ref The URI of the SCIM resource representing the User's manager. RECOMMENDED. displayName The displayName of the user's manager. This attribute is OPTIONAL, and mutability is "readOnly". 5. Service Provider Configuration Schema SCIM provides a schema for representing the service provider's configuration, identified using the following schema URI: "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:ServiceProviderConfig". The service provider configuration resource enables a service provider to discover SCIM specification features in a standardized form as well as provide additional implementation details to clients. All attributes have a mutability of "readOnly". Unlike other core resources, the "id" attribute is not required for the service provider configuration resource. The following singular attributes are defined in addition to the common attributes defined in the core schema: documentationUri An HTTP-addressable URL pointing to the service provider's human-consumable help documentation. OPTIONAL. patch A complex type that specifies PATCH configuration options. REQUIRED. See Section 3.5.2 of [RFC7644]. supported A Boolean value specifying whether or not the operation is supported. REQUIRED. bulk A complex type that specifies bulk configuration options. See Section 3.7 of [RFC7644]. REQUIRED. supported A Boolean value specifying whether or not the operation is supported. REQUIRED. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 27]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 maxOperations An integer value specifying the maximum number of operations. REQUIRED. maxPayloadSize An integer value specifying the maximum payload size in bytes. REQUIRED. filter A complex type that specifies FILTER options. REQUIRED. See Section 3.4.2.2 of [RFC7644]. supported A Boolean value specifying whether or not the operation is supported. REQUIRED. maxResults An integer value specifying the maximum number of resources returned in a response. REQUIRED. changePassword A complex type that specifies configuration options related to changing a password. REQUIRED. supported A Boolean value specifying whether or not the operation is supported. REQUIRED. sort A complex type that specifies Sort configuration options. REQUIRED. supported A Boolean value specifying whether or not sorting is supported. REQUIRED. etag A complex type that specifies ETag configuration options. REQUIRED. supported A Boolean value specifying whether or not the operation is supported. REQUIRED. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 28]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 The following multi-valued attribute is defined in addition to the common attributes defined in the core schema: authenticationSchemes A multi-valued complex type that specifies supported authentication scheme properties. To enable seamless discovery of configurations, the service provider SHOULD, with the appropriate security considerations, make the authenticationSchemes attribute publicly accessible without prior authentication. REQUIRED. The following sub-attributes are defined: type The authentication scheme. This specification defines the values "oauth", "oauth2", "oauthbearertoken", "httpbasic", and "httpdigest". REQUIRED. name The common authentication scheme name, e.g., HTTP Basic. REQUIRED. description A description of the authentication scheme. REQUIRED. specUri An HTTP-addressable URL pointing to the authentication scheme's specification. OPTIONAL. documentationUri An HTTP-addressable URL pointing to the authentication scheme's usage documentation. OPTIONAL. 6. ResourceType Schema The "ResourceType" schema specifies the metadata about a resource type. Resource type resources are READ-ONLY and identified using the following schema URI: "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:ResourceType". Unlike other core resources, all attributes are REQUIRED unless otherwise specified. The "id" attribute is not required for the resource type resource. The following singular attributes are defined: id The resource type's server unique id. This is often the same value as the "name" attribute. OPTIONAL. name The resource type name. When applicable, service providers MUST specify the name, e.g., "User" or "Group". This name is referenced by the "meta.resourceType" attribute in all resources. REQUIRED. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 29]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 description The resource type's human-readable description. When applicable, service providers MUST specify the description. OPTIONAL. endpoint The resource type's HTTP-addressable endpoint relative to the Base URL of the service provider, e.g., "Users". REQUIRED. schema The resource type's primary/base schema URI, e.g., "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User". This MUST be equal to the "id" attribute of the associated "Schema" resource. REQUIRED. schemaExtensions A list of URIs of the resource type's schema extensions. OPTIONAL. schema The URI of an extended schema, e.g., "urn:edu:2.0:Staff". This MUST be equal to the "id" attribute of a "Schema" resource. REQUIRED. required A Boolean value that specifies whether or not the schema extension is required for the resource type. If true, a resource of this type MUST include this schema extension and also include any attributes declared as required in this schema extension. If false, a resource of this type MAY omit this schema extension. REQUIRED. 7. Schema Definition This section defines a way to specify the schema in use by resources available and accepted by a SCIM service provider. For each "schemas" URI value, this schema specifies the defined attribute(s) and their characteristics (mutability, returnability, etc). For every schema URI used in a resource object, there is a corresponding "Schema" resource. "Schema" resources are not modifiable, and their associated attributes have a mutability of "readOnly". Except for "id" (which is always returned), all attributes have a "returned" characteristic of "default". Unless otherwise specified, all schema attributes are case insensitive. These resources have a "schemas" attribute with the following schema URI: urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Schema Unlike other core resources, the "Schema" resource MAY contain a complex object within a sub-attribute, and all attributes are REQUIRED unless otherwise specified. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 30]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 The following singular attributes are defined: id The unique URI of the schema. When applicable, service providers MUST specify the URI, e.g., "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User". Unlike most other schemas, which use some sort of Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) for the "id", the schema "id" is a URI so that it can be registered and is portable between different service providers and clients. REQUIRED. name The schema's human-readable name. When applicable, service providers MUST specify the name, e.g., "User" or "Group". OPTIONAL. description The schema's human-readable description. When applicable, service providers MUST specify the description. OPTIONAL. The following multi-valued attribute is defined: attributes A complex type that defines service provider attributes and their qualities via the following set of sub-attributes: name The attribute's name. type The attribute's data type. Valid values are "string", "boolean", "decimal", "integer", "dateTime", "reference", and "complex". When an attribute is of type "complex", there SHOULD be a corresponding schema attribute "subAttributes" defined, listing the sub-attributes of the attribute. subAttributes When an attribute is of type "complex", "subAttributes" defines a set of sub-attributes. "subAttributes" has the same schema sub-attributes as "attributes". multiValued A Boolean value indicating the attribute's plurality. description The attribute's human-readable description. When applicable, service providers MUST specify the description. required A Boolean value that specifies whether or not the attribute is required. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 31]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 canonicalValues A collection of suggested canonical values that MAY be used (e.g., "work" and "home"). In some cases, service providers MAY choose to ignore unsupported values. OPTIONAL. caseExact A Boolean value that specifies whether or not a string attribute is case sensitive. The server SHALL use case sensitivity when evaluating filters. For attributes that are case exact, the server SHALL preserve case for any value submitted. If the attribute is case insensitive, the server MAY alter case for a submitted value. Case sensitivity also impacts how attribute values MAY be compared against filter values (see Section 3.4.2.2 of [RFC7644]). mutability A single keyword indicating the circumstances under which the value of the attribute can be (re)defined: readOnly The attribute SHALL NOT be modified. readWrite The attribute MAY be updated and read at any time. This is the default value. immutable The attribute MAY be defined at resource creation (e.g., POST) or at record replacement via a request (e.g., a PUT). The attribute SHALL NOT be updated. writeOnly The attribute MAY be updated at any time. Attribute values SHALL NOT be returned (e.g., because the value is a stored hash). Note: An attribute with a mutability of "writeOnly" usually also has a returned setting of "never". returned A single keyword that indicates when an attribute and associated values are returned in response to a GET request or in response to a PUT, POST, or PATCH request. Valid keywords are as follows: always The attribute is always returned, regardless of the contents of the "attributes" parameter. For example, "id" is always returned to identify a SCIM resource. never The attribute is never returned. This may occur because the original attribute value (e.g., a hashed value) is not retained by the service provider. A service provider MAY allow attributes to be used in a search filter. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 32]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 default The attribute is returned by default in all SCIM operation responses where attribute values are returned. If the GET request "attributes" parameter is specified, attribute values are only returned if the attribute is named in the "attributes" parameter. DEFAULT. request The attribute is returned in response to any PUT, POST, or PATCH operations if the attribute was specified by the client (for example, the attribute was modified). The attribute is returned in a SCIM query operation only if specified in the "attributes" parameter. uniqueness A single keyword value that specifies how the service provider enforces uniqueness of attribute values. A server MAY reject an invalid value based on uniqueness by returning HTTP response code 400 (Bad Request). A client MAY enforce uniqueness on the client side to a greater degree than the service provider enforces. For example, a client could make a value unique while the server has uniqueness of "none". Valid keywords are as follows: none The values are not intended to be unique in any way. DEFAULT. server The value SHOULD be unique within the context of the current SCIM endpoint (or tenancy) and MAY be globally unique (e.g., a "username", email address, or other server-generated key or counter). No two resources on the same server SHOULD possess the same value. global The value SHOULD be globally unique (e.g., an email address, a GUID, or other value). No two resources on any server SHOULD possess the same value. referenceTypes A multi-valued array of JSON strings that indicate the SCIM resource types that may be referenced. Valid values are as follows: + A SCIM resource type (e.g., "User" or "Group"), + "external" - indicating that the resource is an external resource (e.g., a photo), or + "uri" - indicating that the reference is to a service endpoint or an identifier (e.g., a schema URN). This attribute is only applicable for attributes that are of type "reference" (Section 2.3.7). Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 33]

RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 9. Security Considerations 9.1. Protocol SCIM data is intended to be exchanged using the SCIM protocol. It is important when handling data to implement the security considerations outlined in Section 7 of [RFC7644]. 9.2. Passwords and Other Sensitive Security Data Passwords and other attributes related to security credentials are of an extremely sensitive nature and require special handling when transmitted or stored. While the SCIM protocol uses cleartext passwords for value assignment and equality-testing purposes, password values MUST NOT be stored in cleartext form. Administrators should undertake industry best practices to protect the storage of credentials and in particular SHOULD follow recommendations outlined in Section 5.1.4.1 of [RFC6819]. These requirements include, but are not limited to, the following: o Provide injection attack countermeasures (e.g., by validating all inputs and parameters); o Credentials should not be stored in cleartext form; o Store credentials using an encrypted protection mechanism (e.g., hashing); and o Where possible, avoid passwords as the sole form of authentication, and consider using credentials that are based on asymmetric cryptography. 9.3. Privacy The SCIM core schema defines attributes that are sensitive and may be considered personally identifying information (PII). These privacy considerations should be considered for extensions as well as the schema defined in this specification. For the purposes of this specification, PII is defined as any attribute that may be used as a unique key to identify a person (e.g., "User"). Since other information may be used in combination to identify an individual, all attributes in SCIM are considered "sensitive" personal information. Consult regional jurisdictions to see if there are special considerations for the handling of personal information (e.g., PII). Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 92]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 Information should be shared on an as-needed basis. A SCIM client should limit information to what it believes a service provider requires, and a SCIM service provider should only accept information it needs. Clients and service providers should take into consideration that personal information is being conveyed across technical (e.g., protocol and applications), administrative (e.g., organizational, corporate), and jurisdictional boundaries. In particular, information security and privacy must be considered. Security service level agreements for the handling of these attributes are beyond the scope of this document but are to be carefully considered by implementers and deploying organizations. Please see the Privacy Considerations section of [RFC7644] for more protocol-specific considerations regarding the handling of SCIM information. SCIM defines attributes such as "id", "externalId", and SCIM resource URIs, which cause new PII to be generated; this information is important to the way that the SCIM protocol identifies and locates resources. Where possible, it is suggested that service providers take the following remediations: o Where possible, assign and bind identifiers to specific tenants and/or clients. When multiple tenants are able to reference the same resource, they should do so via separate identifiers (id or externalId). This ensures that separate domains linked to the same information cannot perform identifier correlation. o In the case of "externalId", if multiple values are supported, use access control to restrict access to the client domain that assigned the "externalId" value. o Ensure that access to data is appropriately restricted to authorized parties with a "need to know". o When persisted, ensure that the appropriate protection mechanisms are in place to restrict access by unauthorized parties, including administrators or parties with access to backup data. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 93]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 10. IANA Considerations 10.1. Registration of SCIM URN Sub-namespace and SCIM Registry IANA has added an entry to the "IETF URN Sub-namespace for Registered Protocol Parameter Identifiers" registry and created a sub-namespace for the Registered Parameter Identifier as per [RFC3553]: "urn:ietf:params:scim". To manage this sub-namespace, IANA has created the "System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) Schema URIs" registry, which is used to manage entries within the "urn:ietf:params:scim" namespace. The registry description is as follows: o Registry name: SCIM o Specification: this document (RFC 7643) o Repository: See Section 10.2 o Index value: See Section 10.2 10.2. URN Sub-namespace for SCIM SCIM schemas and SCIM messages utilize URIs to identify the schema in use or other relevant context. This section creates and registers an IETF URN Sub-namespace for use in the SCIM specifications and future extensions. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 94]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 10.2.1. Specification Template Namespace ID: The Namespace ID "scim" has been assigned. Registration Information: Version: 1 Date: 2015-06-22 Declared registrant of the namespace: Registering organization The Internet Engineering Task Force Designated contact A designated expert will monitor the SCIM public mailing list, "scim@ietf.org". Declaration of Syntactic Structure: The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs that use the "scim" Namespace ID shall have the following structure: urn:ietf:params:scim:{type}:{name}{:other} The keywords have the following meaning: type The entity type, which is either "schemas" or "api". name A required US-ASCII string that conforms to the URN syntax requirements (see [RFC2141]) and defines a major namespace of a schema used within SCIM (e.g., "core", which is reserved for SCIM specifications). The value MAY also be an industry name or organization name. other Any US-ASCII string that conforms to the URN syntax requirements (see [RFC2141]) and defines the sub-namespace (which MAY be further broken down in namespaces delimited by colons) as needed to uniquely identify a schema. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 95]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 Relevant Ancillary Documentation: None Identifier Uniqueness Considerations: The designated contact shall be responsible for reviewing and enforcing uniqueness. Identifier Persistence Considerations: Once a name has been allocated, it MUST NOT be reallocated for a different purpose. The rules provided for assignments of values within a sub-namespace MUST be constructed so that the meanings of values cannot change. This registration mechanism is not appropriate for naming values whose meanings may change over time. As the SCIM specifications are updated and the SCIM protocol version is adjusted, a new registration will be made when significant changes are made -- for example, "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:1.0 (externally defined, not previously registered)" and "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0". Process of Identifier Assignment: Identifiers with namespace type "schema" (e.g., "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas") are assigned after the review of the assigned contact via the SCIM public mailing list, "scim@ietf.org", as documented in Section 10.3. Namespaces with type "api" (e.g., "urn:ietf:params:scim:api") and "param" (e.g., "urn:ietf:params:scim:param") are reserved for IETF-approved SCIM specifications. Process of Identifier Resolution: The namespace is not currently listed with a Resolution Discovery System (RDS), but nothing about the namespace prohibits the future definition of appropriate resolution methods or listing with an RDS. Rules for Lexical Equivalence: No special considerations; the rules for lexical equivalence specified in [RFC2141] apply. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 96]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 Conformance with URN Syntax: No special considerations. Validation Mechanism: None specified. Scope: Global. 10.3. Registering SCIM Schemas This section defines the process for registering new SCIM schemas with IANA in the "System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) Schema URIs" registry (see Section 10.1). A schema URI is used as a value in the "schemas" attribute (Section 3) for the purpose of distinguishing extensions used in a SCIM resource. 10.3.1. Registration Procedure The IETF has created a mailing list, scim@ietf.org, which can be used for public discussion of SCIM schema proposals prior to registration. Use of the mailing list is strongly encouraged. The IESG has appointed a designated expert [RFC5226] who will monitor the scim@ietf.org mailing list and review registrations. Registration of new "core" schemas (e.g., in the namespace "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core") and "API" schemas (e.g., in the namespace "urn:ietf:params:scim:api") MUST be reviewed by the designated expert and published in an RFC. An RFC is REQUIRED for the registration of new value data types that modify existing properties. An RFC is also REQUIRED for registration of SCIM schema URIs that modify SCIM schema previously documented in an existing RFC. URNs within "urn:ietf:params:scim" but outside the above namespaces MAY be registered with a simple review (e.g., check for spam) by the designated expert on a first-come-first-served basis. The registration procedure begins when a completed registration template, defined in the sections below, is sent to scim@ietf.org and iana@iana.org. Within two weeks, the designated expert is expected to tell IANA and the submitter of the registration whether the registration is approved, approved with minor changes, or rejected with cause. When a registration is rejected with cause, it can be resubmitted if the concerns listed in the cause are addressed. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 97]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 Decisions made by the designated expert can be appealed to the IESG Applications Area Director, then to the IESG. They follow the normal appeals procedure for IESG decisions. Once the registration procedure concludes successfully, IANA creates or modifies the corresponding record in the SCIM schema registry. The completed registration template is discarded. An RFC specifying one or more new schema URIs MUST include the completed registration templates, which MAY be expanded with additional information. These completed templates are intended to go in the body of the document, not in the IANA Considerations section. The RFC SHOULD include any attributes defined. 10.3.2. Schema Registration Template A SCIM schema URI is defined by completing the following template: Schema URI: A unique URI for the SCIM schema extension. Schema Name: A descriptive name of the schema extension (e.g., "Generic Device"). Intended or Associated Resource Type: A value defining the resource type (e.g., "Device"). Purpose: A description of the purpose of the extension and/or its intended use. Single-value Attributes: A list and description of single-valued attributes defined, including complex attributes. Multi-valued Attributes: A list and description of multi-valued attributes defined, including complex attributes. Hunt, et al. Standards Track [Page 98]
RFC 7643 SCIM Core Schema September 2015 10.4. Initial SCIM Schema Registry The IANA has populated the "System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) Schema URIs" registry with the following registries for SCIM schema URIs, with pointers to appropriate reference documents. Note: The schema URIs listed below are broken into two lines for readability. +-----------------------------------+-----------------+-------------+ | Schema URI | Name | Reference | +-----------------------------------+-----------------+-------------+ | urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: | User Resource | See Section | | core:2.0:User | | 4.1 | | | | | | urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: | Enterprise User | See Section | | extension:enterprise:2.0:User | Extension | 4.3 | | | | | | urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: | Group Resource | See Section | | core:2.0:Group | | 4.2 | +-----------------------------------+-----------------+-------------+ SCIM Schema URIs for Data Resources +-----------------------------------+-------------------+-----------+ | Schema URI | Name | Reference | +-----------------------------------+-------------------+-----------+ | urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: | Service Provider | See | | core:2.0:ServiceProviderConfig | Configuration | Section 5 | | | Schema | | | | | | | urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: | Resource Type | See | | core:2.0:ResourceType | Configuration | Section 6 | | | | | | urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: | Schema | See | | core:2.0:Schema | Definitions | Section 7 | | | Schema | | +-----------------------------------+-------------------+-----------+ SCIM Server-Related Schema URIs Hunt, et al.
