User Provisioning in WSO2 IS

WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0 supports Inbound provisioning, Outbound provisioning and Just-In-Time provisioning. In this post, I'll walk you through these provisioning concepts.

Inbound provisioning

Inbound provisioning provisions users to the Identity Server from an external system. WSO2 Identity Server supports inbound provisioning via SOAP based APIs as well as SCIM APIs. When using inbound provisioning, the users will be created in primary or secondary user stores.

Just-In-Time provisioning (JIT)

Just-In-Time provisioning will provision users to the Identity Server by the time the user is logging from an external Identity Provider. You can point to the user store which needs to be populated with the JIT provisioning.

Outbound provisioning

Outbound provisioning provisions users from Identity Server to trusted Identity Providers. WSO2 Identity Server supports outbound provisioning via SCIM, SPML, SOAP, Google Apps provisioning API, Salesforce provisioning API.

Extracting a .zip file using unzip command in IBM AIX

Unzip utility is not installed in IBM AIX by default. And also it can not be installed using apt-get, as we do in Linux OS.

Here is a step by step guide to install unzip in IBM AIX.

Step 01

Visit http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/alpha.html and download the rpm for unzip. (unzip-5.51-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm )

Step 02

Run the following command to install unzip feature in AIX

rpm -ivh unzip-5.51-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

You will get the following output.

l490vp017_pub[/home/u0013155] > rpm -ivh unzip-5.51-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

unzip                       ##################################################

Step 03

Type unzip and check whether it is installed correctly.

l490vp017_pub[/home/u0013155] > unzip

UnZip 5.51 of 22 May 2004, by Info-ZIP.  Maintained by C. Spieler.  Send

bug reports using http://www.info-zip.org/zip-bug.html; see README for details.

Usage: unzip [-Z] [-opts[modifiers]] file[.zip] [list] [-x xlist] [-d exdir]

  Default action is to extract files in list, except those in xlist, to exdir;

  file[.zip] may be a wildcard.  -Z => ZipInfo mode ("unzip -Z" for usage).

  -p  extract files to pipe, no messages     -l  list files (short format)

  -f  freshen existing files, create none    -t  test compressed archive data

  -u  update files, create if necessary      -z  display archive comment

  -x  exclude files that follow (in xlist)   -d  extract files into exdir

modifiers:                                   -q  quiet mode (-qq => quieter)

  -n  never overwrite existing files         -a  auto-convert any text files

  -o  overwrite files WITHOUT prompting      -aa treat ALL files as text

  -j  junk paths (do not make directories)   -v  be verbose/print version info

  -C  match filenames case-insensitively     -L  make (some) names lowercase

  -X  restore UID/GID info                   -V  retain VMS version numbers

                                             -M  pipe through "more" pager

Examples (see unzip.txt for more info):

  unzip data1 -x joe   => extract all files except joe from zipfile data1.zip

  unzip -p foo | more  => send contents of foo.zip via pipe into program more

  unzip -fo foo ReadMe => quietly replace existing ReadMe if archive file newer

Step 04

Use unzip command to extract the .zip file.

unzip wso2esb-4.8.1.zip
