Updating Identity Data

The update REST interface will update an identity with the information defined in the URL. The URL needs to be populated with the following information.

• name defines the identity profile which is being updated. The value is the Universal ID in the user's OpenSSO profile.

• identity_attribute_names defines one or more LDAP attributes to be updated.

• identity_attribute_values_value-of-identity_attribute_names defines the value of the attribute (defined by identity_attribute_names) being updated.

• identity_realm defines the realm in which the identity is configured.

• admin defines the tokenid of the user with the necessary permissions to search; for example amadmin.

The following URL would update the user profile with an email address.

http://OpenSSO-host:OpenSSO-port/opensso/identity/update?identity_name=rest_user
&identity_attribute_names=mail&identity_attribute_values_mail=restUser@rest-DOT-org
&admin=AQIC5wM2LY4SfcxCWBCNON1gTsaMaHISbYmTyYosv8pCPVw=@AAJTSQACMDE=#

Use the read REST interface to verify the update.
