Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Developer's Guide

Creating Identity Types

The create REST interface will create the defined identity type in the configured data store. The URL needs to be populated with the following information.

identity_name defines the value of the Universal ID attribute in the user's OpenSSO profile.
identity_attribute_names defines one or more LDAP attributes to be created for the identity.
identity_attribute_values_value-of-identity_attribute_names defines the value of the attribute (defined by identity_attribute_name) being created.
identity_realm defines the realm in which the identity is to be created. This is an optional parameter.
identity_type defines the type of identity being created.
admin defines the tokenid of the user with the necessary permissions to search; for example amadmin.

This URL would create a user type.

http://OpenSSO-host:OpenSSO-port/opensso/identity/create?identity_name=rest_user
&identity_attribute_names=userpassword&identity_attribute_values_userpassword=secret123
&identity_attribute_names=sn&identity_attribute_values_sn=sn_of_rest_user
&identity_attribute_names=cn&identity_attribute_values_cn=cn_of_rest_user
&identity_realm=/&identity_type=user
&admin=AQIC5wM2LY4Sfcwbg2YdVMaYsfEqdxHDMUc47WSLBNTOlrk=@AAJTSQACMDE=#

The following URL would create a web agent profile for Policy Agent 3.0 types.

http://OpenSSO-host:OpenSSO-port/opensso/identity/create?identity_name=webagent
&identity_realm=/&identity_type=AgentOnly
&identity_attribute_names=userpassword&identity_attribute_values_userpassword=secret123
&identity_attribute_names=AgentType&identity_attribute_values_AgentType=WebAgent
&identity_attribute_names=SERVERURL&identity_attribute_values_SERVERURL=
http://web-agent-host:web-agent-port/opensso

The following URL would create a J2EE agent profile for Policy Agent 3.0 types.

http://OpenSSO-host:OpenSSO-port/opensso/identity/create?identity_name=j2eeagent
&identity_realm=/&identity_type=AgentOnly
&identity_attribute_names=userpassword&identity_attribute_values_userpassword=secret123
&identity_attribute_names=AgentType&identity_attribute_values_AgentType=J2EEAgent
&identity_attribute_names=SERVERURL
&identity_attribute_values_SERVERURL=http://J2EE-agent-host:J2EE-agent-port/opensso
&identity_attribute_names=AGENTURL&identity_attribute_values_AGENTURL=
http://OpenSSO-host:OpenSSO-port/opensso

The following URL would create a 2.2 agent profile.

http://OpenSSO-host:OpenSSO-port/opensso/identity/create?identity_name=webagent70
&identity_attribute_names=userpassword&identity_attribute_values_userpassword=secret123
&identity_realm=/&identity_type=Agent
&admin=AQIC5wM2LY4SfcxCWBCNON1gTsaMaHISbYmTyYosv8pCPVw=@AAJTSQACMDE=#

Tip –

Use the search REST interface to verify that the identity type has been created.
