AM lets administrators create a user profile with an HTTP POST of the JSON representation of the profile to /json/subrealm/users/?_action=create. To add a user to the Top Level Realm, you do not need to specify the realm.

The following example shows an administrator creating a new user. The only required fields are username and userpassword. If no other name is provided, the entry you make for username defaults to both the user id and the user's last name:

$ curl \
 --request POST \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 --data \
 '{
   "username": "bjensen",
   "userpassword": "secret12",
   "mail": "bjensen@example.com"
 }' \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/users/?_action=create
{
  "_id": "bjensen",
  "_rev": "1092918444",
  "username": "bjensen",
  "realm": "/",
  "uid": [
    "bjensen"
  ],
  "mail": [
    "bjensen@example.com"
  ],
  "universalid": [
    "id=bjensen,ou=user,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
  ],
  "objectClass": [
    "iplanet-am-managed-person",
    "inetuser",
    "sunFederationManagerDataStore",
    "sunFMSAML2NameIdentifier",
    "devicePrintProfilesContainer",
    "inetorgperson",
    "sunIdentityServerLibertyPPService",
    "iPlanetPreferences",
    "pushDeviceProfilesContainer",
    "iplanet-am-user-service",
    "forgerock-am-dashboard-service",
    "organizationalperson",
    "top",
    "kbaInfoContainer",
    "sunAMAuthAccountLockout",
    "person",
    "oathDeviceProfilesContainer",
    "iplanet-am-auth-configuration-service"
  ],
  "inetUserStatus": [
    "Active"
  ],
  "dn": [
    "uid=bjensen,ou=people,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
  ],
  "sn": [
    "bjensen"
  ],
  "cn": [
    "bjensen"
  ],
  "createTimestamp": [
    "20170110103112Z"
  ]
}

Alternatively, administrators can create user profiles with specific user IDs by doing an HTTP PUT of the JSON representation of the changes to /json/users/user-id, as shown in the following example:

$ curl \
 --request PUT \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-None-Match: *" \
 --data \
 '{
   "username": "janedoe",
   "userpassword": "secret12",
   "mail": "janedoe@example.com"
 }' \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/users/janedoe
 {
  "_id": "janedoe",
  "_rev": "-3822252",
  "username": "janedoe",
  "realm": "/",
  "uid": [
    "janedoe"
  ],
  "mail": [
    "janedoe@example.com"
  ],
  "universalid": [
    "id=janedoe,ou=user,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
  ],
  "objectClass": [
    "iplanet-am-managed-person",
    "inetuser",
    "sunFederationManagerDataStore",
    "sunFMSAML2NameIdentifier",
    "devicePrintProfilesContainer",
    "inetorgperson",
    "sunIdentityServerLibertyPPService",
    "iPlanetPreferences",
    "pushDeviceProfilesContainer",
    "iplanet-am-user-service",
    "forgerock-am-dashboard-service",
    "organizationalperson",
    "top",
    "kbaInfoContainer",
    "sunAMAuthAccountLockout",
    "person",
    "oathDeviceProfilesContainer",
    "iplanet-am-auth-configuration-service"
  ],
  "dn": [
    "uid=janedoe,ou=people,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
  ],
  "inetUserStatus": [
    "Active"
  ],
  "sn": [
    "janedoe"
  ],
  "cn": [
    "janedoe"
  ],
  "createTimestamp": [
    "20170110103319Z"
  ]
}

As shown in the examples, AM returns the JSON representation of the profile on successful creation. On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code. For example, version 2.0 of the CREST /json/users, /json/groups, and /json/agents endpoints return 403 if the user making the request is not authorized to do so.

The same HTTP POST and PUT mechanisms also work for other objects, such as web or Java agent profiles and groups:

$ curl \
 --request POST \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 --data \

AM lets users and administrators read profiles by requesting an HTTP GET on /json/subrealm/users/user-id. This allows users and administrators to verify user data, status, and directory. If users or administrators see missing or incorrect information, they can write down the correct information and add it using "Updating Identities using the REST API". To read a profile on the Top Level Realm, you do not need to specify the realm.

Users can review the data associated with their own accounts, and administrators can also read other user's profiles.

The following example shows an administrator accessing user data belonging to demo:

$ curl \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/users/demo
{
  "_id": "demo",
  "_rev": "-320505756",
  "username": "demo",
  "realm": "/",
  "uid": [
    "demo"
  ],
  "universalid": [
    "id=demo,ou=user,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
  ],
  "objectClass": [
    "iplanet-am-managed-person",
    "inetuser",
    "sunFederationManagerDataStore",
    "sunFMSAML2NameIdentifier",
    "devicePrintProfilesContainer",
    "inetorgperson",
    "sunIdentityServerLibertyPPService",
    "iPlanetPreferences",
    "pushDeviceProfilesContainer",
    "iplanet-am-user-service",
    "forgerock-am-dashboard-service",
    "organizationalperson",
    "top",
    "kbaInfoContainer",
    "sunAMAuthAccountLockout",
    "person",
    "oathDeviceProfilesContainer",
    "iplanet-am-auth-configuration-service"
  ],
  "dn": [
    "uid=demo,ou=people,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
  ],
  "inetUserStatus": [
    "Active"
  ],
  "sn": [
    "demo"
  ],
  "cn": [
    "demo"
  ],
  "createTimestamp": [
    "20170105101638Z"
  ],
  "modifyTimestamp": [
    "20170110102632Z"
  ]
}

Use the _fields query string parameter to restrict the list of attributes returned. This parameter takes a comma-separated list of JSON object fields to include in the result:

$ curl \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/users/demo?_fields=username,uid
{"username":"demo","uid":["demo"]}

As shown in the examples, AM returns the JSON representation of the profile on success. On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code.

Using HTTP GET to read also works for other objects such as agent profiles and groups:

$ curl \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/agents/myAgent
{
    "username": "myAgent",
    "realm": "/",
    "com.sun.identity.agents.config.fqdn.default": [
        "www.example.com"
    ],
    "com.sun.identity.agents.config.repository.location": [
        "centralized"
    ],
    "AgentType": [
        "WebAgent"
    ],
    "userpassword": [
        "{SHA-1}W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g="
    ],
    "com.sun.identity.agents.config.login.url":
    [
        "[0]=https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/XUI/?realm=/#login"
    ],
    "com.sun.identity.agents.config.logout.url":
    [
        "[0]=https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/XUI/?realm=/#logout"
    ],
    "sunIdentityServerDeviceStatus": [
        "Active"
    ]
}

The _prettyPrint query string parameter can make the resulting JSON easier to read when you are viewing the resulting JSON directly:

$ curl \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/groups/newGroup?_prettyPrint=true
{
    "username": "newGroup",
    "realm": "dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org",
    "uniquemember": [
        "uid=demo,ou=people,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
    ],
    "cn": [
        "newGroup"
    ],
    "dn": [
        "cn=newGroup,ou=groups,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
    ],
    "objectclass": [
        "groupofuniquenames",
        "top"
    ],
    "universalid": [
        "id=newGroup,ou=group,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
    ]
}

AM lets users update their own profiles, and lets administrators update other users' profiles. To update an identity do an HTTP PUT of the JSON representation of the changes to /json/subrealm/users/user-id. To update a profile on the Top Level Realm, you do not need to specify the realm.

The following example shows how users can update their own profiles:

$ curl \
 --request PUT \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5...Y3MTAx*" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: protocol=1.0,resource=2.0
 --data '{ "mail": "demo@example.com" }' \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/users/demo
 {
  "username": "demo",
  "realm": "/",
  "uid": [
    "demo"
  ],
  "mail": [
    "demo@example.com"
  ],
  "universalid": [
    "id=demo,ou=user,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
  ],
  "objectClass": [
    "iplanet-am-managed-person",
    "inetuser",
    "sunFederationManagerDataStore",
    "sunFMSAML2NameIdentifier",
    "devicePrintProfilesContainer",
    "inetorgperson",
    "sunIdentityServerLibertyPPService",
    "iPlanetPreferences",
    "pushDeviceProfilesContainer",
    "iplanet-am-user-service",
    "forgerock-am-dashboard-service",
    "organizationalperson",
    "top",
    "kbaInfoContainer",
    "sunAMAuthAccountLockout",
    "person",
    "oathDeviceProfilesContainer",
    "iplanet-am-auth-configuration-service"
  ],
  "dn": [
    "uid=demo,ou=people,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
  ],
  "inetUserStatus": [
    "Active"
  ],
  "sn": [
    "demo"
  ],
  "cn": [
    "demo"
  ],
  "createTimestamp": [
    "20170105101638Z"
  ],
  "modifyTimestamp": [
    "20170110105038Z"
  ],
  "roles": [
    "ui-self-service-user"
  ]
}

As shown in the example, AM returns the JSON representation of the profile on success. On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code.

You can use HTTP PUT to update other objects as well, such as web or Java agent profiles and groups.

The following example updates a web agent profile:

$ curl \
 --request PUT \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5...Y3MTAx*" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --data '{
      "sunIdentityServerDeviceStatus" : [ "Inactive" ]
 }' \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/agents/myAgent?_prettyPrint=true
 {
     "username": "myAgent",
     "realm": "/",
     "com.sun.identity.agents.config.fqdn.default": [
         "www.example.com"
     ],
     "com.sun.identity.agents.config.repository.location": [
         "centralized"
     ],
     "AgentType": [
         "WebAgent"
     ],
     "userpassword": [
         "{SHA-1}W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g="
     ],
     "com.sun.identity.agents.config.login.url":
     [
         "[0]=https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/XUI/?realm=/#login"
     ],
     "com.sun.identity.agents.config.logout.url":
     [
         "[0]=https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/XUI/?realm=/#logout"
     ],
     "sunIdentityServerDeviceStatus": [
         "Inactive"
     ]
 }

Notice in the following example that updates newGroup the object class value is not included in the JSON sent to AM:

$ curl \
 --request PUT \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5...Y3MTAx*" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --data '{
    "uniquemember":[
        "uid=newUser,ou=people,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org",
        "uid=demo,ou=people,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
    ]
 }' \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/groups/newGroup
{
    "name": "newGroup",
    "realm": "/",
    "uniqueMember": [
        "uid=newUser,ou=people,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org",
        "uid=demo,ou=people,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
    ],
    "cn": [
        "newGroup"
    ],
    "dn": [
        "cn=newGroup,ou=groups,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
    ],
    "objectclass": [
        "groupofuniquenames",
        "top"
    ],
    "universalid": [
        "id=newGroup,ou=group,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
    ]
}

AM lets administrators delete a user profile by making an HTTP DELETE call to /json/subrealm/users/user-id. To delete a user from the Top Level Realm, you do not need to specify the realm.

The following example removes a user from the top level realm. Only administrators should delete users. The user id is the only field required to delete a user:

$ curl \
 --request DELETE \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/users/bjensen
{"success":"true"}

On success, AM returns a JSON object indicating success. On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code.

You can use this same logic for other resources such as performing an HTTP DELETE of an agent profile or of a group:

$ curl \
 --request DELETE \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/agents/myOAuth2ClientAgent
{"success":"true"}

$ curl \
 --request DELETE \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/groups/newGroup
{"success":"true"}

AM lets administrators list identities by making an HTTP GET call to /json/subrealm/users/?_queryId=*. To query the Top Level Realm, you do not need to specify the realm:

$ curl \
--header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
"https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/users?_queryId=*"

  ],
  "resultCount": 2,
  "pagedResultsCookie": null,
  "totalPagedResultsPolicy": "NONE",
  "totalPagedResults": -1,
  "remainingPagedResults": -1
}

The users endpoint also supports the _queryFilter parameter to alter the returned results. For more information, see "Query".

The _queryId=* parameter also works for other types of objects, such as agent profiles and groups:

$ curl \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 "https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/agents?_queryId=*"
{
  "result" : [ "wsp", "wsc", "agentAuth", "SecurityTokenService" ],
  "resultCount" : 4,
  "pagedResultsCookie" : null,
  "remainingPagedResults" : -1
}

$ curl \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 "https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/groups?_queryId=*"
{
  "result" : [ "newGroup", "anotherGroup" ],
  "resultCount" : 2,
  "pagedResultsCookie" : null,
  "remainingPagedResults" : -1
}

As the result lists include all objects, this capability to list identity names is mainly useful in testing.

As shown in the examples, AM returns the JSON representation of the resource list if successful. On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code.

If you only have access to the iPlanetDirectoryPro session cookie, you can retrieve the user ID by performing an HTTP POST operation on the /json/users endpoint using the idFromSession action:

$ curl \
 --verbose \
 --request POST \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5wM2LY4Sfcz...c5ODk4MjYzMzA2MQ..*" \
 http://openam.example.com:8080/openam/json/realms/root/users?_action=idFromSession

{
  "id":"demo",
  "realm":"/",
  "dn":"id=demo,ou=user,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org",
  "successURL":"/openam/console",
  "fullLoginURL":null
}

Users other than the top-level administrator can change their own passwords with an HTTP POST to /json/subrealm/users/username?_action=changePassword including the new password as the value of userpassword in the request data.

Users must provide the current password, which is set in the request as the value of the currentpassword.

For cases where users have forgotten their password, see "Retrieving Forgotten Usernames" in the User Self Service Guide instead.

The following example shows a successful request to change the demo user's password to password:

$ curl \
 --request POST \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...NTcy*" \
 --data '{
     "currentpassword":"changeit",
     "userpassword":"password"
 }' \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/users/demo?_action=changePassword
{}

On success, the response is an empty JSON object {} as shown in the example.

On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code. See also "HTTP Status Codes" for more information.

Administrators can change non-administrative users' passwords with an HTTP PUT to /json/subrealm/users/username including the new password as the value of userpassword in the request data.

Unlike users, administrators do not provide users' current passwords when changing passwords.

The following example shows a successful request by an administrator to change the demo user's password to cangetin:

$ curl \
 --request PUT \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...NTcy*" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --data '{
     "userpassword":"cangetin"
 }' \

} 

As shown in the example, AM returns the JSON representation of the profile on success. On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code. See also "HTTP Status Codes" for more information.

AM lets administrators create a group with an HTTP PUT of the JSON representation of the group to the /json/subrealm/groups?_action=create endpoint.

The following example shows how to create a group called myGroup in the top level realm using the REST API after authenticating to AM:

$ curl \
 --request POST \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5*..ACMDE.*" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json \
 --data '{
    "username":"myGroup" \
 }'
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/groups?_action=create

{
    "_id":"myGroup",
    "_rev":"-718971957",
    "username":"myGroup",
    "realm":"/",
    "universalid":[
       "id=myGroup,ou=group,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
    ],
    "dn":[
       "cn=myGroup,ou=groups,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org"
    ],
    "cn":[
       "myGroup"
    ],
    "objectclass":[
       "top",
       "groupofuniquenames"
    ]
}

AM lets administrators add a user to an existing group with an HTTP PUT to the JSON representation of the group to the /json/subrealm/groups/groupName endpoint.

The following example shows how to add a user, testuser, to an existing group, myGroup using the REST API. The example assumes that the DS backend is in use. Make sure to use the uniquemember attribute to specify the user using the DS server:

$ curl \
 --request PUT \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5*..ACMDE.*" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json \
 --data '{ \
    "uniquemember":"cn=testuser,cn=users,dc=example,dc=com" \
    }' \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/groups/myGroup

{
  "_id": "myGroup",
  "_rev": "-521704336",

}

$ curl \
 --request PUT \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5*..ACMDE.*" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json \
 --data '{ \
     "member":["cn=testuser1,cn=users,dc=example,dc=com"] \

The following table shows the required properties when managing realms using the REST API:

The following shows an example JSON payload when managing a realm:

{
    "name": "mySubRealm",
    "active": true,
    "parentPath": "/",
    "aliases": [ "payroll.example.com" ]
}

AM lets administrators create a realm by performing an HTTP POST of the JSON representation of the realm to /json/global-config/realms.

The following example creates a new, active subrealm in the top level realm, named mySubRealm:

$ curl \
 --request POST \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 --data '{
     "name": "mySubRealm",
     "active": true,
     "parentPath": "/",
     "aliases": [ "payroll.example.com" ]
 }' \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/global-config/realms
{
    "_id": "L2Fub3RoZXJSZWFsbQ",
    "_rev": "-1054013208",
    "parentPath": "/",
    "active": true,
    "name": "mySubRealm",
    "aliases": [ "payroll.example.com" ]
}

AM returns a 201 HTTP status code and a JSON representation of the realm on success. The value returned in the _id field is used in subsequent REST calls relating to the realm. On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code. For more information, see "HTTP Status Codes".

To list and query realms, perform an HTTP GET on the /json/global-config/realms endpoint, and set the _queryFilter query string parameter to true as in the following example, which lists all available realms:

$ curl \
 --header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5..." \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/global-config/realms?_queryFilter=true
{
  "result": [
    {
      "_id": "Lw",
      "_rev": "252584985",
      "parentPath": null,
      "active": true,
      "name": "/",
      "aliases": [
        "openam.example.com",
        "openam"
      ]
    },
    {
      "_id": "L215U3ViUmVhbG0",
      "_rev": "949061198",
      "parentPath": "/",
      "active": true,
      "name": "mySubRealm",
      "aliases": [
        "payroll.example.com"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "resultCount": 2,
  "pagedResultsCookie": null,
  "totalPagedResultsPolicy": "NONE",
  "totalPagedResults": -1,
  "remainingPagedResults": -1
}

For more information about using the _queryString parameter in REST calls, see "Query".

To read a realm's details, perform an HTTP GET on the /json/global-config/realms/realm-id endpoint, where realm-id is the value of _id for the realm.

The following example shows an administrator receiving information about a realm called mySubRealm, which has an _id value of L215U3ViUmVhbG0:

$ curl \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/global-config/realms/L215U3ViUmVhbG0
{
  "_id": "L215U3ViUmVhbG0",
  "_rev": "949061698",
  "parentPath": "/",
  "active": true,
  "name": "mySubRealm",
  "aliases": [
    "payroll.example.com"
  ]
}

AM returns a 200 HTTP status code and a JSON representation of the realm on success. On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code. For more information, see "HTTP Status Codes".

To update a realm's aliases or to toggle between active and inactive, perform an HTTP PUT on the /json/global-config/realms/realm-id endpoint, where realm-id is the value of _id for the realm.

The request should include an updated JSON representation of the complete realm. Note that you cannot alter the name or parent properties of a realm.

The following example shows how to update a realm called mySubRealm, which has an _id value of L215U3ViUmVhbG0. The example changes the realm status to inactive:

$ curl \
 --request PUT \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5...Y3MTAx*" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header  "Accept-API-Version: protocol=1.0" \
 --data '{
    "parentPath": "/",
    "active": false,
    "name": "mySubRealm",
    "aliases": [
        "payroll.example.com"
    ]
 }' \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/global-config/realms/L215U3ViUmVhbG0
{
    "_id": "L215U3ViUmVhbG0",
    "_rev": "94906213",
    "parentPath": "/",
    "active": false,
    "name": "mySubRealm",
    "aliases": [
        "payroll.example.com"
    ]
}

AM returns a 200 HTTP status code and a JSON representation of the realm on success. On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code. For more information, see "HTTP Status Codes".

To delete a realm, perform an HTTP DELETE on the /json/global-config/realms/realm-id endpoint, where realm-id is the value of _id for the realm.

The following example shows how to delete a realm called mySubRealm, which has an _id value of L215U3ViUmVhbG0.

$ curl \
 --request DELETE \
 --header "iplanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5w...2NzEz*" \
 https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/global-config/realms/L215U3ViUmVhbG0
{
    "_id": "L215U3ViUmVhbG0",
    "_rev": "949061708",
    "parentPath": "/",
    "active": false,
    "name": "mySubRealm",
    "aliases": [
        "payroll.example.com"
    ]
}

AM returns a 200 HTTP status code and a JSON representation of the deleted realm on success. On failure, AM returns a JSON representation of the error including the HTTP status code. For more information, see "HTTP Status Codes".

This section describes how to create a custom identity repository plugin. AM includes built-in support for LDAP identity repositories. For most deployments, you therefore do not need to create your own custom identity repository plugin. Only create custom identity repository plugins for deployments with particular requirements not met by built-in AM functionality.

public void initialize(Map configParams)

public int addListener(SSOToken token, IdRepoListener listener)
public void removeListener()

public void shutdown()

public Set getSupportedTypes()

public Set getSupportedOperations(IdType type)

public boolean supportsAuthentication()

Your IdRepo plugin implements operational methods depending on what you support. These methods perform the operations in your data store.

When you build your IdRepo plugin, include openam-core-5.5.2.jar in the classpath. This file is found under WEB-INF/lib/ where AM is deployed.

You can either package your plugin as a .jar, and then add it to WEB-INF/lib/, or add the classes under WEB-INF/classes/.

To register your plugin with AM, you add a SubSchema to the sunIdentityRepositoryService using the ssoadm command. First, you create the SubSchema document having the following structure.

<SubSchema i18nKey="x4000" inheritance="multiple" maintainPriority="no"
           name="CustomRepo" supportsApplicableOrganization="no" validate="yes">
 <AttributeSchema cosQualifier="default" isSearchable="no"
                  name="RequiredValueValidator" syntax="string"
                  type="validator" >
  <DefaultValues>
   <Value>com.sun.identity.sm.RequiredValueValidator</Value>
  </DefaultValues>
 </AttributeSchema>
 <AttributeSchema any="required" cosQualifier="default"
                  i18nKey="x4001" isSearchable="no"
                  name="sunIdRepoClass" syntax="string"
                  type="single" validator="RequiredValueValidator" >
  <DefaultValues>
   <Value>org.test.CustomRepo</Value>
  </DefaultValues>
 </AttributeSchema>
 <AttributeSchema cosQualifier="default" i18nKey="x4002" isSearchable="no"
                  name="sunIdRepoAttributeMapping" syntax="string" type="list">
  <DefaultValues>
    <Value></Value>
  </DefaultValues>
 </AttributeSchema>
</SubSchema>

Also include the AttributeSchema required to configure your IdRepo plugin.

Notice the i18nKey attributes on SubSchema elements. The i18nKey attribute values correspond to properties in the amIdRepoService.properties file under WEB-INF/classes/ where AM is deployed. The AM console displays the label for the configuration user interface that it retrieves from the value of the i18nKey property in the amIdRepoService.properties file.

To make changes to the properties, first extract amIdRepoService.properties and if necessary the localized versions of this file from openam-core-5.5.2.jar to WEB-INF/classes/ where AM is deployed. For example, if AM is deployed under /path/to/tomcat/webapps/openam, then you could run the following commands.

$ cd /path/to/tomcat/webapps/openam/WEB-INF/classes/
$ jar -xvf ../lib/openam-core-5.5.2.jar amIdRepoService.properties
 inflated: amIdRepoService.properties

Register your plugin using the ssoadm command after copy the files into place.

$ ssoadm \
 add-sub-schema \
 --adminid amadmin \
 --password-file /tmp/pwd.txt \
 --servicename sunIdentityRepositoryService \
 --schematype Organization \
 --filename customIdRepo.xml

Log in to the AM console as administrator, then browse to Realms > Realm Name > Data Stores. In the Data Stores table, click New... to create a Data Store corresponding to your custom IdRepo plugin. In the first screen of the wizard, name the Data Store and select the type corresponding to your plugin. In the second screen of the wizard, add the configuration for your plugin.

After creating the Data Store, create a new subject in the realm to check that your plugin works as expected. You can do this under Realms > Realm Name > Subjects.

If your plugin supports authentication, then users should now be able to authenticate using the DataStore module for the realm, by using a URL similar to the following:

http://openam.example.com:8080/openam/XUI/?realm=/myrealm#login&module=DataStore

The following procedure describes how to configure a JSON audit event handler:

The following procedure describes how to configure a comma-separated values (CSV) audit event handler:

AM can publish audit events to a syslog server, which is based on a widely-used logging protocol. You can configure your syslog settings on the AM console.

The following procedure describes how to configure a Syslog audit event handler:

You can configure AM to write audit logs to Oracle, MySQL, or other databased. AM writes audit log records to the following tables: am_auditaccess, am_auditactivity, am_auditauthentication, and am_auditconfig. For more information on the JDBC table formats for each of the logs, see "JDBC Audit Log Tables".

Before configuring the JDBC audit event handler, you must perform several steps to allow AM to log to the database:

The following procedure describes how to configure a JDBC audit event handler. Perform the following steps after you have created audit log tables in your database and installed the JDBC driver in the AM web container:

AM supports audit logging to Elasticsearch 5.0. When you store AM's audit logs in an Elasticsearch data store, you can use Kibana to perform data discovery and visualization on your logs.

You can experiment with an Elasticsearch audit handler without enabling any Elasticsearch security features. However, for a more secure deployment, ForgeRock recommends that you use Elasticsearch Shield to require authentication to Elasticshield. Depending on your network topology, you might also want to configure SSL for Elasticsearch Shield.

Before configuring the Elasticsearch audit event handler, you must configure an Elasticsearch index with AM's audit schema:

The following procedure describes how to configure an Elasticsearch audit event handler. Perform the following steps after you have created an Elasticsearch index for AM audit logging:

AM supports audit logging to a JMS message broker. JMS is a Java API for sending messages between clients using a publish and subscribe model as follows:

Before configuring the JMS audit event handler, you must perform several steps to allow AM to publish audit events as a JMS client:

The following procedure describes how to configure a JMS audit event handler.

If your JMS message broker requires an SSL connection, you might need to perform additional, broker-dependent configuration tasks. For example, you might need to import a broker certificate into AM's keystore, or provide additional JNDI context properties.

See your JMS message broker's documentation for specific requirements for making SSL connections to your broker, and implement them as needed in addition to the steps in the following procedure.

Perform the following steps after you have installed the JMS client .jar file in the AM web container:

AM supports sending audit logging data to a Splunk HTTP event collector REST endpoint. This endpoint requires an authentication token created in Splunk and configured in the AM event handler.

Before configuring the Splunk audit event handler in AM, configure the endpoint in Splunk:

The following procedure describes how to configure a Splunk audit event handler in AM. Perform the following steps after you have created a Splunk HTTP event collector token:

You can configure AM to allow you to access a web based view of AM MBeans on port 8082 where the core server runs, such as http://openam-ter.example.com:8082/. Either use the console, or use the ssoadm command:

$ ssoadm \
  set-attr-defs \
  --servicename iPlanetAMMonitoringService \
  --schematype Global \
  --adminid amadmin \
  --password-file /tmp/pwd.txt \
  --attributevalues iplanet-am-monitoring-http-enabled=true

The default authentication file allows you to authenticate over HTTP as user demo, password changeit. The user name and password are kept in the file specified, with the password encrypted:

$ cat openam/openam/openam_mon_auth
demo AQICMBCKlwx6G3vzK3TYYRbtTpNYAagVIPNP

Or:

$ cat openam/openam/opensso_mon_auth
demo AQICvSe+tXEg8TUUT8ekzHb8IRzVSvm1Lc2u

You can encrypt a new password using the ampassword command. After changing the authentication file, you must restart AM for the changes to take effect.

MBeans in a Browser

You can configure AM to allow you to listen for Java Management eXtension (JMX) clients, by default on port 9999. Either use the AM console page under Configure > Global Services > Monitoring and make sure both Monitoring Status and Monitoring RMI interface status are both set to Enabled, or use the ssoadm command:

$ ssoadm \
  set-attr-defs \
  --servicename iPlanetAMMonitoringService \
  --schematype Global \
  --adminid amadmin \
  --password-file /tmp/pwd.txt \
  --attributevalues iplanet-am-monitoring-enabled=true \
  iplanet-am-monitoring-rmi-enabled=true

A number of tools support JMX, including jvisualvm and jconsole. When you use jconsole to browse AM MBeans for example, the default URL for the AM running on the local system is service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9999/server.

$ jconsole service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:9999/server &

You can also browse the MBeans by connecting to your web application container, and browsing to the AM MBeans. By default, JMX monitoring for your container is likely to be accessible only locally, using the process ID.

JConsole Browsing MBeans

Also see Monitoring and Management Using JMX for instructions on how to connect remotely, how to use SSL, and so forth.

You can configure AM to allow you to listen on port 8085 for SNMP monitoring. Either use the AM console, or use the ssoadm command:

$ ssoadm \
  set-attr-defs \
  --servicename iPlanetAMMonitoringService \
  --schematype Global \
  --adminid amadmin \
  --password-file /tmp/pwd.txt \
  --attributevalues iplanet-am-monitoring-snmp-enabled=true

Once activated, SNMP monitoring works over UDP by default. You may want to install one of many available network monitoring tools. For the purpose of this section, basic SNMP service and monitoring tools have been installed on a GNU/Linux system. The same commands should work on a Mac OS X system.

SNMP depends on labels known as Object Identifiers (OIDs). These are uniquely defined labels, organized in tree format. For AM, they are configured in a .mib file named FORGEROCK-OPENAM-CTS.mib, found inside the /path/to/tomcat/webapps/openam/WEB-INF/lib/openam-mib-schema-5.5.2.jar file of the AM deployment.

For detailed information on configured OIDs, see "Core Token Service (CTS) Object Identifiers" in the Installation Guide.

With the OIDs in hand, you can set up an SNMP server to collect the data. You would also need SNMP utility commands with associated OIDs to measure the current state of a component. First, to verify the operation of SNMP on a GNU/Linux system, over port 8085, using SNMP version 2c, run the following command:

 # snmpstatus -c public -v 2c localhost

The output should normally specify communications over UDP. If you get a timeout message, the SNMP service may not be running.

You can get the value for a specific OID. For example, the following command would retrieve the cumulative count for CTS create operations, over port 8085:

# snmpget -c public -v 2c :8085 enterprises.36733.1.2.3.3.1.1.1

If your version of the tool does not support the enterprises OID string, use 1.3.6.1.4.1 instead, as in 1.3.6.1.4.1.36733.1.2.3.3.1.1.1.

For one view of the tree of OIDs, you can use the snmpwalk command. For example, the following command lists all OIDs related to CTS:

 # snmpwalk -c public -v 2c :8085 enterprises.36733.1.2.3

A number of CTS OIDs are listed with a Counter64 value. As defined in RFC 2578, an OID so configured has a maximum value of 2^64 - 1.

You can monitor policy evaluation performance over SNMP. AM records statistics for up to a number of recent policy evaluation requests. (You can configure the number in the AM console under Configuration > System > Monitoring. For details, see the reference section "Monitoring".

Interface Stability: Evolving in the Release Notes

As described in "CTS SNMP Monitoring", SNMP uses OIDs defined in the .mib file, FORGEROCK-OPENAM-POLICY.mib, found inside the /path/to/tomcat/webapps/openam/WEB-INF/lib/openam-mib-schema-5.5.2.jar file of the AM deployment. This file specifies the statistics AM keeps for policy evaluation operations. Adapt the examples in "CTS SNMP Monitoring" to read monitoring statistics about policy evaluation on the command line.

When monitoring is active, AM records statistics about both the numbers and rates of policy evaluations performed, and also the times taken to process policy evaluations.

The statistics are all read-only. The base OID for policy evaluation statistics is enterprises.36733.1.2.2.1. The following table describes the values that you can read:

You can monitor stateful session statistics over SNMP. AM records statistics for up to a configurable number of recent sessions. (You can configure the number in the AM console under Configuration > System > Monitoring. For details, see the system configuration reference section, "Monitoring" in the Reference.)

SNMP monitoring is not available for stateless sessions.

Interface Stability: Evolving in the Release Notes

As described in "CTS SNMP Monitoring", SNMP uses OIDs defined in a .mib file that specifies the statistics AM keeps for policy evaluation operations, the FORGEROCK-OPENAM-SESSION.mib file. This file is found inside the /path/to/tomcat/webapps/openam/WEB-INF/lib/openam-mib-schema-5.5.2.jar file of the AM deployment. Adapt the examples in "CTS SNMP Monitoring" to read monitoring statistics about sessions on the command line.

When monitoring is active, AM records statistics about both the numbers of internal, remote, and CTS sessions, and also the times taken to process sessions.

The statistics are all read-only. The base OID for session statistics is enterprises.36733.1.2.1. Times are expressed in nanoseconds rather than milliseconds, as many operations take less than one millisecond. The following table describes the values that you can read:

The following general points apply:

Tune your LDAP data stores, your LDAP authentication modules, and connection pools for CTS and configuration stores.

AM has two thread pools used to send notifications to clients. The Service Management Service (SMS) thread pool can be tuned in the AM console under Configure > Server Defaults > SDK > Data Store:

The session service has its own thread pool to send notifications to listeners about changes to stateful sessions. This is configured under Configure > Server Defaults > Session > Notification:

The Session Service has additional properties to tune, which are configured under Configure > Server Defaults > Session > Session Limits. The following suggestion applies to deployments using stateful sessions:

By default AM has caching enabled both for configuration data and also for user data. This setting is governed by the server property com.iplanet.am.sdk.caching.enabled, which by default is true. When you set this advanced property to false, then you can enable caching independently for configuration data and for user data.

The table below provides a quick reference, primarily for user data cache settings. Web and Java agents of version earlier than 5 and other AM SDK clients can also cache user data using most of the properties described in the table.

Notice that many properties for configuration data cache have sm (for Service Management) in their names, whereas those for user data have idm (for Identity Management) in their names:

To start a recording event, perform an HTTP POST using the /json/records endpoint, specifying the _action=start parameter in the URL. Specify a JSON payload identical in format to the input file for the ssoadm start-recording command, as described in "The Recording Control File".

To get the status of a recording event, perform an HTTP POST using the /json/records endpoint, specifying the _action=status parameter in the URL:

$ curl \
--request POST \
--header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5..." \
https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/records?_action=status

If there is no active recording event, the following output appears:

{
  "recording":false
}

If there is an active recording event, output similar to the following appears:

{
 "recording":true,
 "record":{
  "issueID":103572,
  "referenceID":"policyEvalFails",
  "description":"Troubleshooting artifacts in support of case 103572",
