      System for Cross-Domain Identity Management: Core Schema 1.1
                       draft-scim-core-schema-01

Abstract

   The System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) specification
   is designed to make managing user identity 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 standard protocols.  In essence, make it fast, cheap,
   and easy to move identity in to, out of, and around the cloud.

   This document provides a platform neutral schema and extension model
   for representing users and groups in JSON and XML formats.  This
   schema is intended for exchange and use with cloud service providers.
   Additional binding documents provide a standard REST API, SAML
   binding, and use cases.

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-01              July 2012


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] .

   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.


2.  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-standard APIs 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 services providers seeking
   to interoperate with multiple application marketplaces or cloud
   identity providers must be redundantly integrated.

   SCIM seeks to simplify this problem through a simple to implement
   specification suite that provides a common user schema and extension
   model, as well as binding documents to provide patterns for
   exchanging this schema via a REST API.  It draws inspiration and best
   practice, building upon existing user APIs and schemas from a wide
   variety of sources including, but not limited to, existing APIs
   exposed by cloud providers, PortableContacts, and LDAP directory
   services.

   This document provides a platform neutral schema and extension model
   for representing users and groups in JSON and XML formats.  This
   schema is intended for exchange and use with cloud service providers.
   Additional binding documents provide a standard REST API, SAML
   binding, and use cases.

2.1.  Definitions

   Service Provider:  A web application that provides identity
      information via the SCIM protocol.

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-01              July 2012


   Consumer:  A website or application that uses the SCIM protocol to
      manage identity data maintained by the Service Provider.

   Resource:  The Service Provider managed artifact containing one or
      more attributes; e.g., User or Group

   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.

   Complex Attribute:  A Singular or Multi-valued Attribute whose value
      is a composition of one or more Simple Attributes.

   Sub-Attribute:  A Simple Attribute contained within a Complex
      Attribute.


3.  SCIM Schema Structure

   SCIM schema provides a minimal core schema for representing users and
   groups (resources), encompassing common attributes found in many
   existing deployments and schemas.

   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.  SCIM schema defines the data type, plurality and other
   distinguishing features of an attribute.  Unless otherwise specified
   all attributes are modifiable by Consumers.  Immutable (read-only)
   attributes SHALL be specified as 'READ-ONLY' within the attribute
   definition.  Additionally, Service Providers MAY choose to make some
   or all Resource attributes immutable and SHOULD identify those
   attributes via the associated Resource's schema endpoint
   (Section 5.2).

   Both XML and JSON formats are defined.  Resource and attribute names
   MUST conform to XML naming rules;i.e., SCIM names MUST be valid XML
   names and SHOULD be camelCased.  When marshalling or extending SCIM
   resources in XML implementors MUST use the normative, SCIM, XML
   schema (.xsd).  SCIM resources represented in a schema-less format;
   e.g., JSON, MUST specify schema via the schemas attribute
   (Section 5.2).

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-01              July 2012


3.1.  Attribute Data Types

   Attribute data types are derived from XML schema [1] and unless
   otherwise specified are optional, modifiable by Consumers, and of
   type String (Section 3.1.1).  The JSON format defines a limited set
   of data types, hence, where appropriate, alternate JSON
   representations are defined below.  SCIM extensions SHOULD not
   introduce new data types.

3.1.1.  String

   A sequence of characters as defined in section 3.2.1 of the XML
   Schema Datatypes Specification.  A String attribute MAY specify a
   required data format.  Additionally, when Canonical Values are
   specified Service Providers SHOULD conform to those values if
   appropriate, but MAY provide alternate String values to represent
   additional values.

3.1.2.  Boolean

   The literal "true" or "false" as specified in section 3.2.2 of the
   XML Schema Datatypes Specification.

3.1.3.  Decimal

   A real number with at least one digit to the left and right of the
   period as specified in section 3.2.3 of the XML Schema Datatypes
   Specification.

   Values represented in JSON MUST conform to the XML constraints above
   and are represented as a JSON Number [2].

3.1.4.  Integer

   A Decimal number with no fractional digits as defined in section
   3.3.13 of the XML Schema Datatypes Specification.

   Values represented in JSON MUST conform to the XML constraints above
   and are represented as a JSON Number [2].

3.1.5.  DateTime

   A dateTime (e.g. 2008-01-23T04:56:22Z) as specified in section 3.2.7
   of the XML Schema Datatypes Specification.

   Values represented in JSON MUST conform to the XML constraints above
   and are represented as a JSON String [2].

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-01              July 2012


3.1.6.  Binary

   The attribute value MUST be encoded as a valid xsd:base64Binary value
   as specified in section 3.2.16 of the XML Schema Datatypes
   Specification.

   Values represented in JSON MUST conform to the XML constraints above
   and are represented as a JSON String [2].

3.1.7.  Complex

   A Singular or Multi-valued Attribute whose value is a composition of
   one or more Simple Attributes as specified in section 3.4 XML Schema
   Datatypes Specification.

   JSON values are represented as JSON Objects [2].

3.2.  Multi-valued Attributes

   Multi-valued attributes are unordered lists of attributes.  Each
   attribute MAY contain Sub-Attributes and therefore multi-valued
   attributes may contain Complex Attributes.  The below Sub-Attributes
   are considered normative and when specified SHOULD be used as
   defined.

   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 primary e-mail address.  The primary attribute value
      'true' MUST appear no more than once.

   display  A human readable name, primarily used for display purposes.
      READ-ONLY.

   operation  The operation to perform on the multi-valued attribute
      during a PATCH request.  The only valid value is "delete", which
      signifies that this instance should be removed from the Resource.

   value  The attribute's significant value; e.g., the e-mail address,
      phone number, etc.  Attributes that define a "value" sub-attribute
      MAY be alternately represented as a collection of primitive types.
      For example:







Mortimore, et al.       Expires January 10, 2013                [Page 7]


Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-01              July 2012


   {
     "emails": [
       {"value":"bjensen@example.com"},
       {"value":"babs@example.com"}
     ]
   }

      May also be represented as:

   {
     "emails": ["bjensen@example.com","babs@example.com"]
   }


   When returning multi-valued attributes, Service Providers SHOULD
   canonicalize the value returned, if appropriate (e.g. for e-mail
   addresses and URLs).  Providers MAY return the same value more than
   once with different types (e.g. the same e-mail address may 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 Consumer.


4.  Schema Extension Model

   SCIM schema follows an object extension model similar to
   ObjectClasses used in LDAP.  Unlike LDAP there is no inheritance
   model; all extensions are additive (similar to LDAP Auxiliary Object
   Classes [3]).  Each value indicates additive schema that may exist in
   a SCIM representation as specified by extensions not defined in this
   suite.  Schema extensions MUST NOT redefine any attributes defined in
   this specification and SHOULD follow conventions defined in this
   specification.  Each schema extension must identify a URI used to
   identify the extension.  XML MUST use XML namespaces and JSON formats
   MUST use the "schemas" attribute (Section 5.2) to distinguish
   extended resources and attributes.


5.  SCIM Core Schema

5.1.  Common Schema Attributes

   Each SCIM Resource (Users, Groups, etc.) includes the below common
   attributes.  These attributes MUST be included in all Resources,
   including any extended Resource types.  It is not necessary to
   specify the schemas attribute if the Resource is fully defined in
   this document as the core schema is implicitly included.

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-01              July 2012


   id Unique identifier for the 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 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 never
      be specified by the Service Consumer. bulkId: is a reserved
      keyword and MUST NOT be used in the unique identifier.  REQUIRED
      and READ-ONLY.

   externalId  An identifier for the Resource as defined by the Service
      Consumer.  The externalId may simplify identification of the
      Resource between Service Consumer and Service provider by allowing
      the Consumer to refer to the Resource with its own identifier,
      obviating the need to store a local mapping between the local
      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 be the
      Service Consumer and can never be specified by the Service
      Provider.  The Service Provider MUST always interpret the
      externalId as scoped to the Service Consumer's tenant.

   meta  A complex attribute containing resource metadata.  All sub-
      attributes are OPTIONAL

      created  The DateTime the Resource was added to the Service
         Provider.  The attribute MUST be a DateTime.  READ-ONLY.

      lastModified  The most recent DateTime 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.  The
         attribute MUST be a DateTime.  READ-ONLY.

      location  The URI of the Resource being returned.  This value MUST
         be the same as the Location HTTP response header.  READ-ONLY.

      version  The version of the Resource being returned.  This value
         must be the same as the ETag HTTP response header.  READ-ONLY.

      attributes  The names of the attributes to remove from the
         Resource during a PATCH operation.

5.2.  "schemas" Attribute

   SCIM supports resources of different types, with extensible schemas.
   Each resource MUST be indicated using fully qualified URLs.

   Where a specific representation has existing support for expressing
   schema, the traditional convention of that representation MUST be
   applied.  For example, when representing users using XML, XML
   Namespace should be used.

   When a representation does not explicitly provide support for
   indicating a schema, such as JSON, a schemas attribute is used to
   indicate the version of SCIM schema as well as any schema extensions.

   schemas  The schemas attribute is an array of Strings which allows
      introspection of the supported schema version for a SCIM
      representation as well any schema extensions supported by that
      representation.  Each String value must be a unique URI.  This
      specification defines URIs for User, Group, and a standard
      "enterprise" extension.  All representations of SCIM schema MUST
      include a non-zero value array with value(s) of the URIs supported
      by that representation.  Duplicate values MUST NOT be included.
      Value order is not specified and MUST not impact behavior.
      REQUIRED.


6.  SCIM User Schema

   SCIM provides a schema for representing Users, identified using the
   following URI: 'urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0'.  The following attributes
   are defined in addition to those attributes defined in SCIM Core
   Schema:

6.1.  Singular Attributes

   userName  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
      Consumer's entire set of Users.  REQUIRED.

   name  The components of the User's real name.  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

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-01              July 2012


      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.).

      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 fully qualified URL to a page representing the User's
      online profile.

   userType  Used to identify the organization to user relationship.
      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
      language.  Generally used for selecting a localized User
      interface.  Valid values are concatenation of the ISO 639-1 two
      letter language code [4], an underscore, and the ISO 3166-1 2
      letter country code [5]; e.g., 'en_US' specifies the language
      English and country US.

   locale  Used to indicate the User's default location for purposes of
      localizing items such as currency, date time format, numerical
      representations, etc.  A locale value is a concatenation of the
      ISO 639-1 two letter language code [4], an underscore, and the ISO
      3166-1 2 letter country code [5]; e.g., 'en_US' specifies the
      language English and country US.

   timezone  The User's time zone in the "Olson" timezone database
      format [6]; 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 though a value of true infers the User is, for
      example, able to login while a value of false implies the User's
      account has been suspended.

   password  The User's clear text password.  This attribute is intended
      to be used as a means to specify an initial password when creating
      a new User or to reset an existing User's password.  No accepted
      standards exist to convey password policies, hence Consumers
      should expect Service Providers to reject password values.  This
      value MUST never be returned by a Service Provider in any form.

6.2.  Multi-valued Attributes

   The following multi-valued attributes are defined.

   emails  E-mail addresses for the User.  The value SHOULD be
      canonicalized by the Service Provider, e.g. bjensen@example.com
      instead of bjensen@EXAMPLE.COM.  Canonical Type values of work,
      home, and other.

   phoneNumbers  Phone numbers for the User.  The value SHOULD be
      canonicalized by the Service Provider according to format in
      RFC3966 [7] e.g. 'tel:+1-201-555-0123'.  Canonical Type values of
      work, home, mobile, fax, pager and other.

   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.  Instead of the
      standard Canonical Values for type, this attribute defines the
      following Canonical Values to represent currently popular IM
      services: aim, gtalk, icq, xmpp, msn, skype, qq, and yahoo.

   photos  URL of a photo of the User.  The value SHOULD be a
      canonicalized URL, and MUST point to an image file (e.g. a GIF,
      JPEG, or PNG image file) rather than to a web page containing an
      image.  Service Providers MAY return the same image at different
      sizes, though 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 taken
      by this User, but specifically profile photos of the User suitable
      for display when describing the User.  Instead of the standard
      Canonical Values for type, this attribute defines the following
      Canonical Values to represent popular photo sizes: photo,
      thumbnail.

   addresses  A physical mailing address for this User.  Canonical Type
      Values of work, home, and other.  The value 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 zipcode or postal code component.

      country  The country name component.  When specified the value
         MUST be in ISO 3166-1 alpha 2 "short" code format [5]; e.g.,
         the United States and Sweden are "US" and "SE", respectively.

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-01              July 2012


   groups  A list of groups that the user belongs to, either thorough
      direct membership, nested groups, or dynamically calculated.  The
      values are meant to enable expression of common group 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
      the User is directly associated with the group and SHOULD indicate
      that Consumers may modify membership through the Group Resource.
      Indirect membership indicates User membership is transitive or
      dynamic and implies that Consumers 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 MUST be the "id" attribute of the
      corresponding Group resources to which the user belongs.  Since
      this attribute is read-only, group membership changes MUST be
      applied via the Group Resource (Section 8).  READ-ONLY.

   entitlements  A list of entitlements for the User that represent a
      thing the User has.  That is, an entitlement is an additional
      right to a thing, object or service.  No vocabulary or syntax is
      specified and Service Providers/Consumers 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 though 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 though 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 issued to the User.  Values
      are Binary (Section 3.1.6) and DER encoded x509.  This value has
      NO canonical types.


7.  SCIM 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 URI: 'urn:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:1.0'.

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-01              July 2012


   The following Singular Attributes are defined:

   employeeNumber  Numeric or alphanumeric identifier 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.

   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.

      managerId  The id of the SCIM resource representing the User's
         manager.  REQUIRED.

      displayName  The displayName of the User's manager.  OPTIONAL and
         READ-ONLY.


8.  SCIM Group Schema

   SCIM provides a schema for representing groups, identified using the
   following URI: 'urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0'.

   Group resources are meant to enable expression of common Group 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 are considered out of
   scope for this specification.

   The following Singular Attribute is defined in addition to the common
   attributes defined in 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 SCIM Core Schema:

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-01              July 2012


   members  A list of members of the Group.  Canonical Types "User" and
      "Group" are READ-ONLY.  The value must be the "id" of a SCIM
      resource, either 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 Consumers to provide a non-empty
      members value based on the "required" sub attribute of the
      "members" attribute in Group Resource Schema.


9.  Service Provider Configuration Schema

   SCIM provides a schema for representing the Service Provider's
   configuration identified using the following URI:
   'urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0'

   The Service Provider Configuration Resource enables a Service
   Provider to expose its compliance with the SCIM specification in a
   standardized form as well as provide additional implementation
   details to Consumers.  All attributes are READ-ONLY.

   The following Singular Attributes are defined in addition to the
   common attributes defined in Core Schema:

   documentationUrl  An HTTP addressable URL pointing to the Service
      Provider's human consumable help documentation.

   patch  A complex type that specifies PATCH configuration options.
      REQUIRED.

      REQUIRED.

      supported  Boolean value specifying whether sorting is supported.
         REQUIRED.

   etag  A complex type that specifies Etag configuration options.
      REQUIRED.

   common attributes defined in Core Schema:

   authenticationSchemes  A complex type that specifies supported
      Authentication Scheme properties.  Instead of the standard
      Canonical Values for type, this attribute defines the following
      Canonical Values to represent common schemes: oauth, oauth2,
      oauthbearertoken, httpbasic, and httpdigest.  To enable seamless
      discovery of configuration, the Service Provider SHOULD, with the
      appropriate security considerations, make the
      authenticationSchemes attribute publicly accessible without prior
      authentication.  REQUIRED.

10.  Resource Schema

   The Resource schema specifies the Attribute(s) and meta-data that
   constitute a Resource.  Schema Resources are READ-ONLY and identified
   using the following URI: 'urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0'.  Unlike other
   core Resources the schema Resource MAY contain a complex object
   within a Sub-Attribute and all Attributes are REQUIRED unless other
   specified.

   The following Singular Attributes are defined:

13.  Security Considerations

   The SCIM Core schema contains personally identifiable information as
   well as other sensitive data.  Aside from prohibiting password values
   in a SCIM response this specification does not provide any means or
   guarantee of confidentiality.

   The SCIM Community would like to thank the following people for the
   work they've done in the research, formulation, drafting, editing,
   and support of this specification.
