Abstract
The System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) specification
is an HTTP based protocol that makes managing identities in multi-
domain scenarios easier to support through a standardized services.
SCIM provides extension points that enable new ResourceTypes and
Schema Extensions to be defined. This specification defines a set of
password and account status extensions for managing passwords and
password usage (e.g. failures) and other related session data. The
specification defines new ResourceTypes that enable management of
passwords and account recovery functions.

1. Introduction and Overview
The System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) specification
is an HTTP based protocol that makes managing identities in multi-
domain scenarios easier to support through a standardized services.
SCIM provides extension points that enable new ResourceTypes and
Schema Extensions to be defined. This specification defines a set of
password and account status extensions for managing passwords and
tracking password usage (e.g. failures) and other related session
data. The specification defines new resource types that enable
management of passwords and account recovery functions.
Hunt & Wilson Expires September 30, 2015 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft draft-hunt-scim-password-mgmt March 2015
A set of SCIM schema extensions that define:
o Password Schema Extension - Providing account password state (e.g.
login attempts, successful login date, create date), policy,
account locking, as well as challenge questions.
o Password Policy Schema - A new resource type that defines password
policies that may be applied to resources that use passwords such
as complexity requirements, expiry, lockout, and usage
constraints.
A set of resource types are defined that enable password and password
policy management:
o Password Policy
o Password Reset Request
o Password Validation Request
o Username Recovery Request
In the above list, the last 3 resource types are temporary resources
that are used to convey requests that may update an identified target
resource URI (e.g. a User). While these requests have a simple state
transfer request/response relationship with a SCIM client, they may
cause secondary effects by changing multiple attribute states in the
target of the request. For example, setting a resource's password
attribute involves validating password policy as well as checking and
revising password history. There may be further service provider
actions such as email confirmation that occur asynchronously from the
SCIM client's perspective.
1.1. Notational 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]. These
keywords are capitalized when used to unambiguously specify
requirements of the protocol or application features and behavior
that affect the interoperability and security of implementations.
When these words are not capitalized, they are meant in their
natural-language sense.
For purposes of readability examples are not URL encoded.
Implementers MUST percent encode URLs as described in Section 2.1 of
[RFC3986].

Throughout this documents all figures MAY contain spaces and extra
line-wrapping for readability and space limitations. Similarly, some
URI's contained within examples, have been shortened for space and
readability reasons.
1.2. Definitions

2. Schema Extensions
2.1. Password Schema Extension
The following SCIM extension defines attributes used to manage
account passwords within a service provider. The extension is
applied to a "User" resource, but MAY be applied to other resources
that use passwords. The password extension is identified using the
following schema URI:
"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:account:2.0:Password".
The following Singular Attributes are defined:
passwordState
A Complex attribute that describes server provided attributes
regarding the state of the resource's password.
createDate

A writeOnly attribute that contains hashes of previous passwords
associated with the SCIM resource. The number of passwords stored
in this attribute is set by: "policy.passwordHistorySize".
Persisted values MUST be securely hashed such that the clients may
test if a clear-text value was previously used by looking for a
matching hash within the array of values.
2.2. Password Policy
The following SCIM extension defines a new SCIM resource type known
as "PasswordPolicy" and usually has an endpoint of
"/PasswordPolicies". The password policy is identified using the
following core schema URI:

Internet-Draft draft-hunt-scim-password-mgmt March 2015
subject's account will be locked with a "locked.reason" value
of 2 see Paragraph 3.
2.3. Management Requests
This extension defines a series of password and username management
requests that are modeled as SCIM resource types. Each request acts
as a "function" that MAY result in multiple changes to a designated
resource (e.g. User). For example, setting a password involves the
service provider validating the new password, updating the password,
revising password history and resetting appropriate password state
values.
A management request is performed by doing a SCIM creation request
for the associated management function resource type. Each request
resource type has its own schema and resource type endpoint. The
normal SCIM API rules apply to these requests. When a request is
completed, a SCIM service provider MAY return the final state in the
HTTP response, or it MAY return the location of the created request
resource object that MAY be used for further processing. [TO BE
CLARIFIED]
The following requests are supported and defined in the following
sections:
o PasswordResetRequest
o PasswordValidateRequest
o UsernameValidateRequest
o GenerateUsernameRequest
o RecoverUsernameRequest
2.4. PasswordResetRequest
A password reset request is performed by performing a SCIM Create
operation using HTTP POST to the endpoint for resource type
"PasswordResetRequest" which is typically "/PasswordResetRequests".
Upon receiving the request, the service provider, based on its own
logic, validates the request, and based on its own internal logic
subsequently resets the password of the resource identified by
"userName". This request MAY be made anonymously (since the user is
unable to authenticate) or through an authenticated web application
component, who in turn may be unable to authenticate the user). [Add
security considerations for this request]
Hunt & Wilson Expires September 30, 2015 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft draft-hunt-scim-password-mgmt March 2015
Upon validating a request, the service provider may return either
HTTP Status 200 (Ok), or it may return the request as a temporary
resource that exists for a period of time (e.g. awaiting secondary
approval or e-mail confirmation).
The core schema for a "PasswordResetRequest" is "urn:ietf:params:scim
:schemas:core:2.0:password:PasswordResetRequest". The above schema
can be used in several reset forms as described in the following two
sections. This schema includes the following attributes:
userName
A string value that matches the service provider unique identifier
for the user.
challenges
A Complex attribute describing challenge questions and responses
that match the values found in the resource matched by the
"userName" attribute.
question
A String that represents a challenge question for which the
corresponding response is defined.
response
A String that represents the subjects specified correct
response to the corresponding challenge. The response MAY be
compared case-sensitive or case-insensitive based on service
provider policy.
2.4.1. Password Reset With Challenges
An anonymous (or authenticated web application) by providing a
"userName" and the correct set of challenges and a new password
value, MAY request that a service provider accept a requested
"password" and set the "password" directly. The service provider
might perform other secondary checks to confirm the requestors
identity (email confirmation.
Hunt & Wilson Expires September 30, 2015 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft draft-hunt-scim-password-mgmt March 2015
POST /PasswordResetRequests HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: ...
{
"schemas":
["urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:password:PasswordResetRequest"],
"userName":
"happyAlice",
"challenges": [
{
"challenge":"what is your favorite color",
"response":"red"
},
{
"challenge":"what is name of your pet",
"response":"pet"
},
{
"challenge":"what is city of your birth",
"response":"city"
}],
"password": "<new password>"
}
Upon processing a successful request, the SCIM service provider would
respond with:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
In the above example, the request is considered complete when
response is returned. In this case, no permanent request object is
created and so no HTTP Location value is returned. In some cases,
the service provider MAY keep the request until workflow completes.
If it wishes to allow clients to "poll" for status, it MAY create a
resource and returns an HTTP Location in the response. [Is this
needed?]
2.4.2. Reset With Email Confirmation
By providing only a "userName" value, an email conformation flow MAY
be initiated that requires the subject to click on the link (to prove
ownership of the known email) upon which the user is confirmed and
the request is processed.
Hunt & Wilson Expires September 30, 2015 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft draft-hunt-scim-password-mgmt March 2015

Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: ...
{
"schemas":
["urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:password:PasswordResetRequest"],
"userName":
"happyAlice"
}
Upon processing a successful request, the SCIM service provider SHALL
respond with:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
In the above example, it is expected that the User will be given a
link to click on out-of-band. As such the current request completes
with no further response. As with the Challenges variant, a service
provider MAY provide an HTTP Location if the service provider intends
to keep the request active until it is completed. [Is a persisted
request needed?]
2.5. PasswordValidateRequest
A password validation request MAY be used to confirm that a proposed
password value conforms to service provider policy and associated
user policy and password state criteria (e.g. such as password
history). A request is performed by performing a SCIM Create
operation using HTTP POST to the endpoint for resource type
"PasswordValidateRequest" which is typically
"/PasswordValidateRequests". Upon receiving the request, the service
provider, based on its own logic and any associated password policy
for the resource, validates the provided password. [can this be made
anonymously?]
Upon validating a request, the service provider may returns either
HTTP Status 200 (Ok), or it may return HTTP Status 400 indicating the
password is unacceptable. [NOTE: should there be a scimType and/or
description describing a standardized reason for failure such as:
history, tooShort, tooLong, missingSpecialChar, etc etc.
The core schema for a "PasswordValidateRequest" is "urn:ietf:params:s
cim:schemas:core:2.0:password:PasswordValidateRequest". This schema
includes the following attributes:
$ref
Hunt & Wilson Expires September 30, 2015 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft draft-hunt-scim-password-mgmt March 2015
A reference value that contains a URI that points to the resource
(e.g. User) against which the proposed password is to be
validated as an acceptable password.
password
A string value containing the requested password value for which
validation is requested.
The following is a non-normative example validation request. The
example has been altered for clarity:
POST /PasswordValidateRequests HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: ...
{
"schemas":
["urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:password:PasswordValidateRequest"],
"$ref": "/Users/2819c223-7f76-453a-919d-413861904646",
"password":"someG00Didea!"
}
A successful response looks similar to the following non-normative
example:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
2.6. UsernameValidateRequest
A username validation request MAY be used to confirm that a proposed
username value conforms to service provider policy and associated
user policy as well as uniqueness. A request is performed by
performing a SCIM Create operation using HTTP POST to the endpoint
for resource type "UsernameValidateRequest" which is typically
"/UsernameValidateRequests". Upon receiving the request, the service
provider, tests for uniqueness and any associated formatting policy
and validates the provided username.
Upon validating a request, the service provider may returns either
HTTP Status 200 (Ok), or it may return HTTP Status 400 indicating the
password is unacceptable. [NOTE: should there be a scimType and/or
description describing a standardized reason for failure such as:
history, tooShort, tooLong, missingSpecialChar, etc etc.
The core schema for a "UsernameValidateRequest" is "urn:ietf:params:s
cim:schemas:core:2.0:password:UsernameValidateRequest". This schema
includes the following attributes:
Hunt & Wilson Expires September 30, 2015 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft draft-hunt-scim-password-mgmt March 2015
$ref
A reference value that contains a URI that points to the resource
(e.g. User) against which the proposed userName value is to be
validated as an acceptable.
userName
A string value containing the requested userName value for which
validation is requested.
The following is a non-normative example validation request. The
example has been altered for clarity:
POST /UsernameValidaeRequests HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: ...
{
"schemas":
["urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:password:UsernameValidateRequest"],
"$ref": "/Users/2819c223-7f76-453a-919d-413861904646",
"userName":"susieQ"
}
A successful response looks similar to the following non-normative
example:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
2.7. UsernameGenerateRequest
A username generation request MAY be used to request an automatically
generated userName that conforms to service provider policy and
uniqueness requirements. A request is performed by performing a SCIM
Create operation using HTTP POST to the endpoint for resource type
"UsernameGenerateRequest" which is typically
"/UsernameGenerateRequests". Upon receiving the request, the service
provider, generates a unique userName and returns it in a response.
The core schema for a "UsernameGenerateRequest" is "urn:ietf:params:s
cim:schemas:core:2.0:password:UsernameGenerateRequest". This schema
includes the following attributes:
$ref
An operational reference value that contains a URI that points to
the resource (e.g. User) against which existing resource's "name"
attribute MAY be used to generate a userName value. When the $ref
attribute is used, the generate request MUST be authenticated.
Hunt & Wilson Expires September 30, 2015 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft draft-hunt-scim-password-mgmt March 2015
userName
A string value that is returned in the server's response that
contains a generated userName value. The generated userName is
not reserved and is guaranteed on first-come-first-served basis by
a subsequent SCIM creation or modify request.
name
An optional complex attribute containing the components of the
user's name against which a userName value is to be generated.
This attribute MAY be typically used as part of an anonymous
userName generation request during a user registration dialog.
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." ).
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." ).

}
}
A successful response looks similar to the following non-normative
example:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
{
"userName": "barbara.doe",
}
2.8. UsernameRecoverRequest
A userName recovery request MAY be used to look up a userName based
on a provided email address. The provided email address may be
matched against any value of an existing resource's "emails"
attribute. A request is performed by performing a SCIM Create
operation using HTTP POST to the endpoint for resource type
"UsernameRecoverRequest" which is typically
"/UsernameRecoverRequests". Upon receiving the request, the service
provider, generates a unique userName and returns it in a response.
The core schema for a "UsernameRecoverRequest" is "urn:ietf:params:sc
im:schemas:core:2.0:password:UsernameRecoverRequest". This schema
includes the following attributes:
email
A string value containing an email address that is to be matched
against an existing resource's "emails" attribute.

userName A string value provided in response to a request which is
the unique userName that corresponds to the recovery request.
The following is a non-normative example userName recovery request.
The example has been altered for clarity:
POST /UsernameRecoverRequests HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: ...
{
"schemas":
["urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:password:UsernameRecoverRequest"],
"email": "bdoe@example.com"
}
A successful response looks similar to the following non-normative
example:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
{
"userName": "barbara.doe",
}
[Note: it would be more secure not to return the userName in the
response and instead the service provider should send an email
confirmation]
